The following are the highlights of Zambia's major media outlets on Saturday.

-- Zambia's sole glass manufacturing plant was set for commissioning in October this year following the successful installation of new modern glass manufacturing equipment.

The Kapiri Glass Manufacturing Factory, situated in central Zambia's Kapiri Mposhi district, was shut down in 1998 due to the weak market for glass bottles following the liberalization of the economy. (DAILY NATION) Endit
