COPPERBELT RESIDENTS: “NINSHI MUFWAYA?” — MASHEKE AKASHAMBATWA

UPND member Masheke Akashambatwa has challenged Copperbelt residents to state what more they want from the government, citing the reopening and expansion of mining operations in the province.

He said:

“Copperbelt, MCM in Mufulira was closed, and we reopened it. KCM was closed, and we reopened it. Shaft 28 is expected to begin operations in December this year. So, ninshi, what do you want? I genuinely want to know.

“We have also brought Mingomba, a new mine. Ninshi mufwaya? We cannot simply leave the Copperbelt the way the PF left it. We will take development to wherever the people want it  chapwafye.”

Mr. Akashambatwa said the government remained committed to delivering development and revitalising the mining sector across the Copperbelt.
