Stop paying KCM managers dollar rated salaries when there’s no production at KCM.

In some countries people will not be cheated twice. In Zambia we are cheated year after year

Miners get work? Suppliers get paid. Mines pay tax after the tax holidays…kikiki

Just do your mining, no need to bring in tribal talk.

Zambians, we like things that sound progressive even if they don’t profit us. What does the improvement in mining investment mean to the ordinary Zambian who also owns the mines by virtue of being Zambian? NOTHING. So the improvement in the ranking is only for those who our blind leaders have given what rightfully belongs to the Zambians. They have cut deals and there is no money in the Zambian treasury to buy medicines for our hospitals. And you are busy wasting your energy to publicise the improved rating? God help us.

Wake up, how do you put up the money when you own the minerals? Anyone who comes to invest they are puting up their part. This is the warped thinking that has given the foreign white owned companies power to exploit Africans at their own natural resources. Botswana is doing much better because they have this view- minerals are theirs. The so called business men in Govt are just vultures cutting deals for themselves not Zambians and bootlickers are busy boot licking.

There is an eternal structural problem in all mining – the costs are all in the country in which mining takes place, while however hard local governments try, the profits end up overseas and out of the country. What does this mean for Zambia? It means that locally not enough equitable tax finds its way into the government coffers for public services. How to resolve this? All the friendly invitations for foreign companies to mine will not help Zambia at all unless there is a means to collect fair and equitable tax. To my mind this can only be achieved by a tonnage tax on every ton of metal, ore or concs to leave the country. Then it does not matter what price is obtained overseas, because Zambia has already collected its fair dues.

Just a bit of history, a wholy Zambian company called Kafue Consortium comprising eminent citizens both black and white put in a bid but was rejected on the advice of we know who. Your government can’t allow a Zambian to buy an existing mine.

Iwe Baza ulye , you are also a shallow typical southerner…. I am always between ZED & USA running businesses & doing business with some of UPND senior officials. You guys are cheap bro. I have a personal WhatsApp of most of UPND leaders including number 1. The fact that i encourage Zambians to own mines does not mean iam PF or a low life like you hungry UPND cadres. Was in ZED this past weekend & had many meetings with UPND leaders.. so get lost & keep on being hungry. I am not your level bro..
