The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) government has lifted the ban on the flow of copper concentrates into Zambia.
This follows a meeting held in Lubumbashi attended by Katanga governor Moses Katumbi and Copperbelt Minister Mwansa Mbulakulima and finance Deputy Minister Chileshe Kapwepwe, Thursday.
Mr. Mbulakulima said there is need for the two countries to work together in the wake of the low copper prices.
He noted that the estimated copper production target is one million tonnes and currently smelters in Zambia are only treating five hundred thousand tonnes.
Mr. Katumbi said very soon smelters in Zambia will be flooded with about ninety five percent of copper concentrates from DRC.

Wooow…so this is what it feels like?
This is good news. Iam impressed with our northern neighbours.
This is good news!
Indeed this is good news. This means some mines will be revived in Zambia.
Good news!! Now the weekend can start! Nine Chale <:-p<:-p<:-p
Moses Katumbi in the limelight again.Why was there a ban in the first place?
This dude looks rich 😕

Oh yeah,
He resides in Katanga province, this look is expected.
This guy has the ‘brains’ Merci Beaucoup Mon Katumbi
Yes BRUDER L, let the weekend come! <:-p Katumbi is not only rich, the man is also influential. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he is president of DRC in the near future.
Akaiche ! Can you compare him to Nine Chale’s uncle Ba Tata Ba Munkombwe ?
Ba Maureen (Dr.) yashani? Ba Munkombwe is almost extinct, just like the Dinos.
Katumbi ena ni |-)
That looks like the Thandiwe’s Chair in this weeks Pictures 😕
At least this time the person using the chair is one to one with it :d
The dudes present at the meeting were;
1. Moses Katumbi
2. Mwansa Mbulakulima
3. Chileshe Kapwepwe

Thank you, but “No thank you”. LT is our l-)forum for debates on Zambian issues.
number 16…. Brother L
LOL , am not stealing you my brother, but rather their are a lot of intelligent views here,
so why not let the like minded people congregate in one place and exhaust some of these topics, such ideas need to be harnessed you never know where that could for our beloved homeland
After all King Solomon said IRON SHARPENS IRON!
Yes all names are available as long you get there first, including JAMAKO,
may you walk in favour
#23 We are used on this site. Why blog everywhere like a Zim Prostitute. Try to poach INFECTED MEAT I am sure he will be willing to be your’ disciple’ ^:)^
@ # 24. Ba Dr Maureen

Yahweh is my shepard i have everything i want…….
This pastor reminds me of ba bro Maestro!!
Though I like Maestro better!!
BA PASTOR WE ALREADY HAVE MAESTRO AT NUMBALA l-)
MAYBE YOU CAN STAY HERE AT NUMBALA :)>-
I read just abt every sliver of 411 available on LT, even though I hardly ever comment.
For that reason, I ask the good pastor to just bring his comments here instead of further splitting the forum. Consolidate and conglomerate, do not liquidate and obliterate…
Stick with LT.
Cheers!
Please let this pastor go an sleep [-o<[-o<[-o<[-o<[-o<[-o<[-o<
We should take up the opportunity so that smelters are utilized to full capacity. The Governor played games on copper concentrates. I hope the move will not result in our chimanga being smuggled ten folds to Katanga Province. The other day I saw a Congolese kundi of women with their faces looking bright like bazungu but close look at them showed they apply skin toning creams. Its was FANTA on the face
The lift is good news.Congo DR has a lot of copper ore bodies especially in the rich katanga province.Unfortunately the lift has come at a bad time.
# 16 has read the matter well, a deal has been struck people wake up and smell the coffee! Create a shortage and release the commodity when there’s enough panic and demand…nothing to do with good neighbourliness, its just business!
The man seems to be doing fine in business but how about helping out his own country to have peace.The civil war is now over due. Congolees are all over the world fighting to make ends meet.
Thank you DR CONGO.

Upcoming President
At least things are cool between ZED. However don’t be overwhelmed. The young chap knows the copper business has gone down … so, ZED is just becoming a damping ground for the concentrate. One other thing worth mentioning is this: won’t he just work up one day and say: the flow of copper is shut? :-w
Even if this is the case. There is need to go to the drawing table and iron out issues of our Economy. On one hand i say thank you to poor copper price becoz in no time we will just remain with deep hole in our land that cant be reused for anything else as the Copper sales money is not deposited in Zambia for even a day.
OUR POLITICIANS. OUR POLITICIANS OUR POLITICIANS are all expired
One thing for sure we the Zambian people are the Image builders of the politician and there style actually represents the Zambians attitude on every thing.
ba LT ifyabupuba nimwe ba shushu ninshi mwafutila ifyo nachiposapo,mwachelwa pipos naibelenga kale,
:d
hallo Matworld!! 😮
was just thinking!! Zedians have a nice weekend:o
Ha Ha hA, SO KATUMBI HELD US UP BY OUR BALLS. NO WONDER CORRUPTION CASES WERE DROPPED, ZAMBIA HAD TOO MUCH TO LOSE. WE HAD NO PLAN B ONLY PLAN A LIKE ROBERT MUGABE, WE WANTED TO SQUEEZE KATUMBI BUT IT BACKFIRED HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS SQUEEZED US. VERY FUNNY, WE ARE NOW DANCING TO HIS WHIMS.
CORRUPTION REALLY PAYS!!!!!!

bravo katumbi tumeyeko,twachula pafula.
Katumbi will indirectly control CB.
This is good news.
I lost 80 tonnes of the copper ore in the last episode.
He imposed the restriction when both my trucks where marooned at the Congolese border, with a multitude of others.We where made to dump it all for nothing.
I lost close to $130 grande.
I don’t think I can trust these retarded uncivilized Animals.
Pardon my french.

@ 48,,,,and this stripper thinks she? made a positive contribution here.
People can see through your mind … Your mind is ineptly eroded with shear jealous and retrogressive ulterior motives.
Why do you dwell on incendiary comments about that which you do not know of,or latter on understand.Are you familiar with this person ?,where did you hear about him, and what good is it in attempting on what you have started ?
