About Me

My name is Chiozya Mwanza. I am a fish farmer from Mundulundulu village, Siavonga district, in the southern part of Zambia. Siavonga is home to Lake Kariba, the largest man-made lake in the world.

The farm is located on the shores of Lake Kariba and we grow Nile Tilapia in floating fish cages on the lake. We also catch Crayfish for sale to upmarket restaurants, lodges and hotels.

I am married and we are proud parents to four beautiful children.

My Business

My business is selling fresh farmed and wild fish, crabs and Crayfish to up market restaurants, lodges and hotels in the resort town of Siavonga and in the capital Lusaka.

I catch the wild fish, crabs and Crayfish from Lake Kariba and sell it fresh to customers. I have also exported fish and Crayfish to South Africa.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use the loan to buy some fish and Crayfish for a large hotel based in Lusaka. The hotel has been buying fish from me for sometime now and I always make sure that I chose the best fish. Quality matters to them and it also matters to me too.

Income Source

The Government of the Republic of Zambia announced yesterday that it has lifted restrictions on restaurants and tourist spots such as the Victoria Falls.

This means that I can now supply fish to my regular customers who are looking to order lots of fish to celebrate the relaxation of restrictions.
