Zambia’s recent changes to the tax and mining policies have attracted global attention with Mines operating in the country making strategic restructuring and reviewing production in-put costs to respond and reflect to the new Tax changes.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa Emmanuel Mwamba stated in a statement that it is imperative that Zambia makes its case internationally as the country has been a victim of concocted and concerted negative reports.
Mind HH telling the negative story
Good representation there, hope we learn from experiences of other countries, so we develop Zambia better. What is this culture on no hair (pala), look, only 2 people in the delegation have hair, is it natural or its shaving? Just wondering!
There are a few questionable characters in this delegation – including the one who sold our mines for a song.
According to Zambian watchdog and their brainwashed followers, Hakainde is leading the delegation!! I pity this grouping
