Zambezi Omnisport, a Ndola-based multimedia and technology production company, is fast gaining recognition for showcasing Zambian sports and entertainment to global audiences through high-quality live broadcasts.
The company, chaired by Zambian-born computer scientist and artiste, Chasaya Sichilima, recently livestreamed the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup match between ZESCO United and FC105 of Gabon from Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, drawing more than 200,000 online viewers.
Sichilima told Zambia Monitor in an interview in Lusaka on Tuesday that the initiative reflected the firm’s vision to make Zambia a centre of excellence in digital sports production and creative media.

“Our aim is to highlight Zambia’s sporting and cultural talent through professional broadcasting,” he said.
Sichilima said: “We want to give local athletes and artists global exposure while growing the country’s digital media industry.”

“We are investing in skills, creativity and technology to ensure Zambia’s stories are told with pride and professionalism,” he said.
