I come from a long line of pioneering women with my grandmother being the first girl to make it to Chipembi Girls Secondary School in 1957, hailing from the humble villages in the highlands of Monze and my mother was the first female radio Disk Jocky (DJ) with Radio Phoenix and 5Fm where she took the air-waves by storm with her charismatic sound going by her famous name ‘The Black Mama Jamma’.
Hi !
My name is Tolayi Sikumba.
I am a Mining Consultant and Legal Practitioner by profession but at heart I am a patriotic Zambian with a love for nature our local folklore.
I come from a long line of pioneering women with my grandmother being the first girl to make it to Chipembi Girls Secondary School in 1957, hailing from the humble villages in the highlands of Monze and my mother was the first female radio Disk Jocky (DJ) with Radio Phoenix and 5Fm where she took the air-waves by storm with her charismatic sound going by her famous name ‘The Black Mama Jamma’.
In the course of doing business in the mining and tourism sectors as well as being a minister of the law as a legal practitioner, I have had the great privilege of traveling into Zambia and interacting with the most fascinating people and bearing witness to Zambia’s beauty.
In all the wonder and splendor of the Zambian people and its breath taking landscapes I have unfortunately witnessed glaring inequalities and injustices that plague the communities of rural and peri urban Zambia. Being a advocate for change and a strong believer in affirmative action I decided to found a non-profit organization called The Bushbaby Foundation through which justice and capacity building would be made available to ensure human transformation for a better Zambia.
The Bushbaby Foundation through Cooperlemon Consultancy Limited, our co-founding partner and its network of collaborating partners in the mining and tourism sectors seek to empower the communities in which they operate to ensure lasting change through capacity building and basic legal rights education.
I look forward to taking a walk on the wild side with you.
