Small scale miners under Chapamo Mineral Resources, an umbrella company of local miners that operated at the black mountain have been sidelined by the new dawn administration’s new mining operations at the black mountain in Kitwe.
Chapamo Mineral Resources Director Kelvin Tembo disclosed that his company is in the dark about the new operations as announced recently by government that involve numerous youth and women cooperatives from the 10 districts of the province and 15 Lamba chiefs in the mining area.
Operations at the black mountain are expected to commence under the new system 7 days after the official hand over on Thursday this week.
Mr. Tembo disclosed to Phoenix News that he and his fellow small scale miners do not understand what is going on with the black mountain operations after the government Thursday officially handed over the slug dump to cooperatives.
He said that Chapamo Mineral Resources is contemplating engaging relevant offices to understand the new operations that will begin in the course of next week after no communication has been made over the role that small-scale miners under his company would play.
SMALL SCALE MINERS ?
DO I QUALIFY OWNING A WHEEL BARROW SHOVEL AND PICK ?
LETS DEFINE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY PLEASE
JUST ASKING ?
It’s naive for anyone to expect to be included. Sela Tubombeko…. Upnd has an unwritten contract with it’s members to pay them something for a job well done. It was the same with PF.
Yes, sideline them. They operated like a branch of the corrupt tribal PF
Yes, sideline them. They operated more like a branch of the corrupt tribal PF. Infact, they appeared more like a criminal gang
I toldyou that those associations they claimed to have returned the mimes to where mere upnd thugs. Go and check who is behind those associations you will find names of upnd thugs like hachembele and hatombwe
SO WHAT ? FROM PF THUGS TO UPND THUGS
GET USED TO IT
We can not all be miners imwe. Find a place within the mining value chain and offer a service. No wonder the small scale never grow but stay stunted. What did you do with money you made during PF?
All mineral resources are vested in the President with the strategy that they benefit Zambians in the form of good roads, schools, health cares, employment etc. It defeats all that we Zambian stand and live for, if we allow ruling parties to be rewarding their supporters.
tembo as former commander one in pf should now realize the mistakes he was making as evil
Those pretenders are not Zambians ,the T-shirt up there says “Canada”. HH’s govt is all inclusive and its looking after every sector to revive the formerly dead economy.
You are just jerabos who were unregulated just chewing from the mountain courtesy of PF whom you had pledged loyalty and support as long as they allowed you to keep chewing.
