The Government’s decision to ban the issuance of trade licences for hard wood has led to the drastic increase in demand for soft timber leading to a boom in the business for many small and medium entrepreneurs operating sawmills in Ndola’s heavy industrial area.Above, some sawmill workers at processing wood.

A traditional leader in Mpulungu district in Northern Province has denied reports that the Mukula trees are being smuggled out of his chiefdom.

 

Chief Chinakila told ZANIS in Mbala yesterday that the Mukula trees are intact and not being smuggled from his area.

 

He noted that all the people dealing in the mukula timber in his chiefdom have legal licenses obtained from the government.

 

The traditional leader explained that so far he has received people with legal papers from government and not smugglers as being reported in some sections of the media.
