The conversation also examines the importance of local participation in real estate ventures. Chunga explains how the company proved its model by delivering income-generating assets before seeking public capital, providing a practical roadmap for other SMEs. He highlights how the appetite for local ownership is growing and why long-term relationships with individual investors remain the priority.

He unpacks the vision behind the theme, โ€œCapital Markets 2030: Mobilizing Investment for Economic Transformation and Sustainable Growth,โ€ outlining why the market must shift beyond identifying challenges toward practical solutions that mobilise patient, long-term capital for economic transformation. The conversation explores the role capital markets play in driving national economic ambitions, the urgency of bringing more SMEs into the fold, and building a solid pipeline of businesses ready to raise public capital. Kabaso shares key progress on upcoming listingsโ€”including the OneSquareK (OSK) Property Development Plc offerโ€”and lessons learned from previous alternative-market listings. Additionally, he details LuSEโ€™s strategic agreements aimed at boosting market liquidity and laying the groundwork for emerging innovations like tokenisation and blockchain-based securities, while acknowledging Zambiaโ€™s evolving regulatory framework. Kabaso wraps up by reflecting on the 2nd ZCMCA Awards ceremony and the deliberate steps taken to refine the judging process following the inaugural edition.

OSK RECAP! The Ministry of Infrastructure is actively working to foster economic growth in Zambia by encouraging citizen participation in programmes and investments. Mr. Denis Kasonde, Director at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Urban Development, emphasised the need to break down corporate mindsets and create an enabling environment for citizens to participate in initiatives and investments. By facilitating opportunities for projects like One Square K Property Development Limited, the ministry aims to empower citizens to help develop the country, with infrastructure and urban development remaining key focus areas and a clear readiness to collaborate on turning ideas into action. This collaborative approach builds confidence in accessing public capital for expansion and signals growing participation in Zambiaโ€™s capital markets. With Money Acumen Advisory as Lead Transaction Advisor and Sponsor, One Square K Property Development Limited has expressed its intent to list on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc Alternative Investment Market, subject to the clearance of all regulatory approvals. #CapitalMarkets # EconomicGrowth #FinancialInsight #Get2Know

A significant transformation is underway in Lusaka and across Zambia, driven by a rapidly growing population, particularly those under 25. Traditional housing models do not meet the needs of young professionals seeking modern, affordable living spaces. In the words of Mr Mafipe M Chunga, Managing Director and Co-Founder of One Square K, the company is pioneering a new approach by developing disciplined and efficient property solutions designed for young people. This model not only provides a beautiful, modern starting point but has also proven profitable. Fourteen individuals financed the construction of 31 modern apartments, generating over one million kwacha profit annually for the past two years. With 20 applicants for every available apartment, demand is clear. This is an invitation to partner in a proven model that addresses a critical market need and offers significant growth potential. With support from Money Acumen Advisory, One Square K has now signalled its intent to list on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc Alternative Market, subject to regulatory approvals, positioning the listing as an opportunity for more Zambians to participate as shareholders and partner in scaling a model designed for the countryโ€™s next generation. #PropertyDevelopment #AffordableHousing #RealEstate #CapitalMarket #Get2Know

A landmark moment for the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc (LuSE) as One Square K Property Developers signals its proposed listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), subject to regulatory approval. In an interview with Financial Insight, LuSE CEO Nicholas Kabaso shared the following insights. This would mark the second property sector listing on AIM within six months, highlighting the exchange's growing appeal and accessibility for businesses seeking long-term funding. Nicholas, CEO of LuSE, emphasized the strategic advantage of AIM for property businesses, noting that it offers a more suitable funding model than short to medium-term markets. A key incentive for issuers is that listing on AIM is at no cost, eliminating admission fees for issuers and registration fees with The Securities and Exchange Commission, Zambia (SEC). This initiative aims to lower the barrier to entry for businesses, encouraging broader participation in the capital markets. LuSE anticipates further growth with upcoming listings, including a sustainability bond and new issuers in the financial, manufacturing, and mining sectors. The exchange is seeing increased participation from both institutional and retail investors, reflecting a growing sense of ownership in Zambia's economy and a rise in market capitalization. The goal is for market capitalization to rival Zambia's GDP, serving as a true barometer of private sector activity. #PropertyDevelopment #Investment #FinancialInsight #Get2Know

OSK RECAP! What if the future of real estate starts in the places we once overlooked? Mafipe M Chunga, Managing Director & Co-Founder of @OneSquareK1, shares how a vision for urban redevelopment in Lusaka evolved from a small boarding hostel into a 31-unit modern studio apartment complex built entirely without debt. Embracing transparency and opening the project to investors, the team accelerated construction, reduced rental costs, and created high-quality accommodation for young Zambians, with demand now far exceeding supply. One Square K, with Money Acumen Advisory Ltd as transaction structurer, has a planned listing on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc Alternative Market, subject to regulatory approval. #FinancialInsight #Get2Know

Public-private partnerships are vital for infrastructure, but impact is amplified with smaller, distributed projects. Instead of one developer for 2,000 student accommodations, empowering 10 developers for 200 each mitigates risk and fosters broader growth.
