Move over Lusaka — the Copperbelt is producing some of the most exciting modelling talent in southern Africa. Ndola, Kitwe, and Chingola are becoming legitimate fashion capitals, with agencies scrambling to sign the next generation of Zambian talent.

Tasha Banda — The Commercial Powerhouse
Tasha has appeared in campaigns for Zambeef, Airtel Zambia, and Madison Insurance. Her approachable look and natural confidence make her the go-to for brands that want to connect with everyday Zambians.
Joseph Phiri — The Athletic Edge
A former sprinter who turned to modelling at 22, Joseph brings a physicality and discipline to shoots that most models can only dream of. He recently signed with North Star Management and is targeting international campaigns by end of year.
