A lot of the novels and narratives in Bemba were written between the period 1950 and 1980. Recently, very few creative works are published in Zambia mainly due to two reasons: the readership is generally poor and secondly, because of the first reason, publishers tend hesitate to publish creative works, especially novels of substantial thickness in Bemba due to economical reasons.
