On October 23, 2019, the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) reported that China Jiangxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation Co., Ltd. (CJIC), a Chinese state-owned company, donated K50,000 (approx. $4,000 USD) to the Lenje People of Central Province, Zambia, to support the Kulamba Kubwalo traditional ceremony. The event, which honors the tribe’s ancestral heritage, is a culturally significant gathering held annually in Zambia.
