How to Register as a Supplier on ZPPA e-GP: Step-by-Step Guide

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Registering as a supplier on ZPPA e-GP is the first step for any business that wants to win government tenders in Zambia. The Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) runs the electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system, where ministries, councils, parastatals and other public bodies advertise tenders and receive bids. This guide explains who should register, which documents you need, the registration steps and the mistakes that cause applications to be delayed or rejected. What Is ZPPA e-GP? ZPPA is the regulatory body for public procurement in Zambia. Its e-GP system is an online platform used by government procuring entities to publish bidding opportunities, issue bidding documents, receive electronic bids and manage the procurement process. To bid electronically, suppliers generally need an active supplier registration on the system. Why Register on ZPPA e-GP?

Frothers and Collectors Explained: Choosing Flotation Reagents for Copper Ore

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Frothers and collectors are the two most important reagents in copper flotation. Choose the wrong ones, or dose them badly, and copper ends up in the tailings dam instead of the concentrate. This guide explains what frothers and collectors do, the main types used for copper ores, how they work together and what procurement teams should check when buying flotation reagents in Zambia and the DRC. A Quick Introduction to Froth Flotation Froth flotation separates valuable minerals from waste rock. Finely ground ore is mixed with water to form a slurry, reagents are added, and air is blown through the slurry in flotation cells. Copper minerals attach to air bubbles, rise to the surface and form a mineral-rich froth that is skimmed off as concentrate. Waste rock (gangue) stays in the slurry and goes to tailings. Flotation depends on making copper minerals water-repellent (hydrophobic) so they stick to bubbles, while keeping gangue water-attracting (hydrophilic) . That is the ...

IP Cameras vs Analogue CCTV: Which Is Best for Your Business?

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  IP cameras vs analogue CCTV is the first decision every business faces when installing a security system. Both can protect your premises, but they differ in image quality, cost, features and how easily they grow with your business. This guide compares the two technologies in plain language and helps you choose the right system for your home, shop, office, warehouse or mine site in Zambia. What Is an Analogue (HD Analogue) CCTV System? An analogue CCTV system uses cameras that send video signals through coaxial cable to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) . The DVR converts the signal to digital and records it on a hard drive. Older analogue cameras had poor picture quality, but modern HD analogue technologies such as HD-TVI, HD-CVI and AHD now deliver 2MP to 5MP (and sometimes higher) images over the same coaxial cable. What Is an IP CCTV System? An IP (Internet Protocol) system uses network cameras that process video inside the camera and send it as data over network ca...

How to Export Goods from Zambia to the DRC: Documents and Border Process

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Exporting goods from Zambia to the DRC is one of the biggest trade opportunities in the region. Mines in Lubumbashi, Kolwezi and across Haut-Katanga and Lualaba buy huge volumes of chemicals, spare parts, fuel, food, equipment and consumables, and much of it travels through Zambia. But the border process is complex, and incomplete paperwork can leave trucks stuck for days. This guide explains the documents you need, how the border process works and how to avoid costly delays. Why the DRC Is a Key Export Market for Zambian Suppliers Massive mining demand: The DRC's copper-cobalt belt is one of the largest mining regions in the world. Proximity: The Copperbelt is only a few hours' drive from Lubumbashi. Regional trade agreements: Both countries are members of SADC and COMESA, which can offer preferential treatment for qualifying goods. Transit route: Many goods imported through southern African ports reach the DRC via Zambia. Main Border Crossings Between Zam...

What Is SX-EW? A Simple Guide to Copper Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning

By Ackson Mwape
Image
SX-EW (solvent extraction and electrowinning) is the process that turns low-grade copper ore into 99.99% pure copper cathode without a smelter. It is used at many oxide copper operations across Zambia's Copperbelt and North-Western Province, and throughout the Katanga region of the DRC. This guide explains how SX-EW works in simple terms, what each stage does, which consumables it needs and why it matters to mine profitability. What Does SX-EW Stand For? SX-EW is short for Solvent Extraction – Electrowinning . It is a hydrometallurgical process, which means it recovers metal using water-based chemical solutions instead of high-temperature smelting. The process has three main stages: Leaching – dissolving copper from the ore with sulphuric acid Solvent extraction (SX) – separating and concentrating the copper Electrowinning (EW) – plating pure copper onto cathodes using electricity Stage 1: Leaching Leaching is the first step. Crushed or run-of-mine ore is placed ...

Best UPS and Backup Power for Load-Shedding (2026 Buyer's Guide)

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, G & Y Solutions earns from qualifying purchases. This costs you nothing extra. Read our full disclosure . Power cuts are now a normal part of running a home or business in many parts of the world — from scheduled load-shedding in Southern Africa to storm outages and grid failures in North America and Europe. Every unexpected shutdown risks lost work, corrupted files, damaged hard drives and dropped internet connections. The fix is the right backup power: a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep computers running safely through short cuts, or a portable power station to ride out outages lasting several hours. At G & Y Solutions we supply IT and power equipment to offices, mines and institutions on the Zambian Copperbelt, where load-shedding has been a daily reality. This guide shares what we have learned about choosing backup power that actually works — and the models we would buy today. Our Top Picks at a Glance ...
