The Zambian government, through its central bank, the Bank of Zambia, has introduced a new family of banknotes dubbed the heritage series to replace the older ones.

The new notes come for the first time with an introduction of high-value notes that include 200 and 500 Zambian kwacha (ZK).

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema says his government will continue the support that has been extended to Namibia even after the funeral of the late President Hage Geingob.
