Two members of parliament in Mufulira have raised concern at the continued reports of harassment of miners at Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) Mufulira Division by mine security.
Kantanshi member of parliament Yamfwa Mukanga and his Kankoyo counterpart for
Kantanshi Percy Chanda told ZANIS in separate interviews today that they are
saddened at reports of mine employees being clobbered by the security personnel at
the mine.
The two lawmakers have since advised Mopani security to desist taking the law in
their own hands but should instead hand over any suspects to state police for
further investigations.
Last week, police officers from Mufulira Central police station picked up and
briefly detained two Mopani security officers for assaulting their fellow employees.
But when reached for a comment, the named security men dismissed as baseless the
accusations of assault levelled against them.
Shame bakanyangu ku Mopani, how dare you treat your fellow zambians like this, do you think you come from another planet? Dont you know that you are just simple mine security guards? you are not different from this other private secutity firms. Gone are the brutal days.
When my pipo suffer like that at the hands of fellow zedian, I go chipumputu. Pls save me by stopping mistreat my pipo. Gone are the Weleski days.
Fikanyangu fyaku Mopani fyalitumpma and very dull, these things started happening along time ago and nothing happens even if reported.
Sack the thuggish mine security asap.
Being a former employee of ZCCM Mufulira division(now mopani)wish to register my displeasure in the way mine security populary known as ba-kanyangu could be treating their fellow employees. Learn from what had happened to your friends just to mention but a few the late Mikoloni, Late Kana, Mr Mwase, Greg chitusha, Munkanta the list is endless. I salute the two MPS for their involvement. Yamfwa being a former section Engineer in charge of machine shops and Percy Chanda former boiler maker.
