Zambia Revenue Authority post on Facebook page

Firstly the portal was throwing all sorts of errors from ‘Error establishing a database connection’ to briefly opening up to a login page. But approaching 9:30 am the site completely had a failure with the index file failing to redirect to the database.
And at the time of posting a 404 error started coming up navigating beyond the login page with the domain www.zra.org.zm also redirected to portal.zra.org.zm.
Woes for the database management surfaced at user presentations and training sessions where failures in database connections were experienced.
Previously Zambia Revenue Authority had been using a system developed by TATA of India. The new TaxOnline has links with local developers and programmers trained from Copperbelt University.
