It is that simple. Even if production is doubled, all the money will go out of the country and they will just leave Zambians with empty bags and damaged environment. Foreigners and their enablers, the UPND govt are taking Zambians for a ride to Povertyland!!

Mweetwa is actually the biggest loafer in our cabinet. Just sit down for ten minutes and think about what his ministry does. Ok 20 minutes? You still cant determine what Ministry of information does can you? OK 30 minutes…still nothing 7hours? days? Months? Years? You will never define his job description because it doesnt exist. Thats where our tax is going: to people doing nothing! We are Paying off loafers like him

Zambia always witnesses a mining resurgence whose benefits we never see. Im sure someone in Lusaka sees these benefits while we drink untreated water and sleep in mudhuts turning up to dig for more minerals on slave wages. Its time you all stopped promising manna and started delivering it

It’s a well paying job in a government that has given its workers a paltry K500 salary increment across the board. Action speaks louder than words. If you’re in charge and performing, you don’t need to hire Kenyan image builders to help you convince people you lead. That act is in itself an admission of failure. So Chushi Kasanda wasn’t the problem. She just didn’t want to spread false news to the people so she kept quiet. What has Mweetwa achieved? Zero

We don’t need stakes in mines, but optimum water-tight mine taxation. That’s the surest way to generate adequate revenue for national development.

the only thing coming to mind no more lunch money and obviuosly no more load shedding as mining does need mega power
Let’s hope the poor rains and drought doesnt upset the apple cart AGAIN
