President Hakainde Hichilema has assured the people of Nangoma Constituency of a bright mining prospect for them, especially the youths.

President Hichilema says the mineral resources must benefit the local people noting that minerals should however, be extracted legally and in a safe environment.

Addressing the people of Nangoma Constituency in Senior Chief Shakumbila’s area, Mr Hichilema said government is working round the clock to establish a gold washing plant and market to ensure the local people sell their minerals at a profit.

“No parent would send children where they will die. We are not stopping you from mining, we want you to mine safely. We don’t want you to use mercury to clean your gold because it will pollute the environment and water sources,” Mr Hichilema said.

President Hichilema said government will open a gold washing plant and market as well as bring ZCCM to ensure the local people can mine safely and at a profit without polluting the environment and water bodies.

The President stressed that government is upgrading the Farmers – Nalubanda and Nangoma roads to the bituminous standard.

The Head of State urged the people of Nangoma to vote for all United Party for National Development (UPND) candidates for the sustenance of various social protection programmes.

He declared that once re-elected, he will ensure that the feeder roads in Nangoma Constituency are worked on to accelerate trade.

And Mr Hichilema said he will consider the appeal by Senior Chief Shakumbila of the Sala people of giving Nangoma Constituency a district status.

“His Royal Highness has caught me off guard. I have heard the appeal to upgrade Nangoma to a district hospital and I will look into that,” the President assured.

Meanwhile, Senior Chief Shakumbila of Mumbwa and Shibuyunji Districts in Central Province has endorsed President Hichilema for the August 13 General Elections.

The traditional leader has also urged his subjects to vote for all UPND candidates during the August polls.

The Chief said President Hichilema deserved a second term merited by various developmental projects in his chiefdom and employment of local youths into public service.
