KASAMA, Zambia－For many cross-border traders in Zambia that conduct their businesses between Zambia and Tanzania, the trains of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) are the most affordable means of transporting both goods and people.
The TAZARA railway line, which runs between Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia, was built with Chinese aid in the 1970s.
It was meant to serve as the main outlet to the sea for Zambia's exports at a time when southern Africa was facing political upheavals.
Among the many that continue to benefit from TAZARA train services is Agnes Mumba, 42, a cross-border trader based in Kasama, the provincial capital of Zambia's Northern province.
Mumba was at a TAZARA train station in Kasama where she was waiting to board a train to Nakonde, a town located near the border of Zambia and Tanzania.
She said TAZARA trains have helped to boost businesses in Zambia.
"We have challenges getting to Kasama town and other areas, particularly during the rainy season, as the roads become impassable, making it difficult for public transport to get to our place," said Mukuka Bwalya, 61, a resident of Makasa village in northern Zambia.
The TAZARA railway line is a lifeline for many in Zambia," he said.
Bwalya's sentiments were echoed by Joseph Banda, 52, a resident of Nakonde in Muchinga province of Zambia, who added the railway line is a reminder of Zambia and Africa's history, which would be incomplete without the mention of China.
"Zambia ranked third with a relative share of 6.1 percent while Spain and France occupied the fourth and fifth positions with respective shares of 4.8 percent and 4.4 percent," he added.
Meanwhile, in terms of imports, South Africa, Zambia, DRC, UAE and Bulgaria were the major source of imports for Namibia.
The Benguela railway not only connects Angola with the DRC, but also is expected to reach Zambia through the DRC, further reducing export costs for copper and other resources for these countries.
In terms of investment stock, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Zambia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya were the top 10 countries, accounting for 63 percent of China's direct investment stock in Africa.
