Share

Government says the opening of the Mine in Mporokoso will stimulate economic activities ion the region.

Lunte Mp Felix Mutati said the development will not only create the much needed employment opportunities for the local people but will also compel other service providers such as mobile phone companies to establish their presence in the area.

Mr. Mutati who is also Commence, Trade and Industry Minister added that Government was doing everything possible to facilitate the opening of the mine by a Zambia company called Nsandulula.

Speaking during his courtesy call on Chief Mukupa Kapoma , The Minister has since appealed to people in Luangwa ward to be ready to give up part of their land for the establishment of the mine.
