It was a 'gift' in return for tighter economical bonds with China and breaking cooperation with (or not recognising) Taiwan.

That's pretty much how it looks after China build something in a developping country :) They're doing it in Ghana, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, etc.

Aaaand it's ready. At least according to them :)

Zambia: Ndola Stadium Ready

THE newly-constructed $65 million Ndola stadium is ready for hand-over to Zambian government but Zamtel are yet to provide a telecommunication link to the site.

And Government says receiving a world-class structure is a challenge as it involves sustaining and maintaining the good standards of the stadium.

Speaking when he briefed a high-powered government delegation yesterday, Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Company (AFECC) vice-president, Chen Ju said after completion of all major works last month, the stadium was ready for hand-over, three months ahead of schedule.

Chen, however, bemoaned Zamtel's failure to hand AFECC a telecommunication link to improve communication at the site saying Zesco Limited and Kafubu Water and Sewerage Company had done their part by supplying electricity and power to the site while Zamtel had not availed telecommunication facilities.

Chen said telecommunication facilities needed to be installed before the stadium was handed-over to the Zambian government adding his firm had already installed communication system at the stadium and were now waiting for telecommunication connectivity.

The AFECC vice-president, who is also stadium project manager, said the site needed to have telephone lines, internet and other telecommunication facilities as a matter of urgency.

He also said AFECC, who have been given another contract to do external works, were waiting for Zamtel before removing optic fibre cables as they build access roads to the stadium.

Permanent Secretary for Administration at Cabinet office, Oliver Kalabo assured AFECC officials that government would act on all areas that need urgent attention to ensure the smooth handover of the stadium to Zambians.

Kalabo, who is team leader for a committee of permanent secretaries to oversee the progress and hand-over of the stadium, said the government had set up a technical team which would work closely with AFECC and ensure all needy areas were addressed.

Flanked by permanent secretaries for Sport, Teddy Mulonga, Communication, Dominic Sichinga, Public Service Management Division, George Kawatu and Copperbelt, Villie

Lombanya, Kalabo said the government would be happy to receive the stadium on behalf of Zambians soon.

He, however, said it would be a big challenge to take-over a world-class structure because it involved sustainability and maintenance.

China paid that money, so they had some interest in making it cheap :)
