CNBC Africa's Zambian news bureau will be run as a joint venture with Zambia's national broadcaster, ZNBC from the capital Lusaka. Besides Mozambique and Zambia CNBC Africa wants to open two further news bureaus before the end of the year in Rwanda and Ethiopia.
CNBC Africa already has offices in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Gabon and Mozambique.
"THe new bureau is continuing testimony to our vision to provide comprehensive coverage of Africa's growing markets," says Godfrey Mutizwa, CNBC Africa chief editor in a statement.
"CNBC Africa has been active in Zambia for the past three months, conducting live interviews on Zambian markets, business and economic news," says Debbie Baillie, CNBC Africa's country bureau chief.
