This will become Zambia’s curse
Only to those with tulyemo mentality.
Tanzanians will be a source of pressure, but also they artisanal mining experience we can learn from. It’s an urgent need to regulate the exploitation of these minerals fairly and firmly and environmentally soundly unlike the months-years of chaos in Mufumbwe for example
I am sure even this one will face extermination and fumigation at some point
……
One thing that baffles me………..
Once gold is discovered in areas of Zambia, we get reports of foreigners flooding the area to mine and buy gold……….
Yet we have Zambians complaining none stops of no jobs and being hungry ????……
We just lazy and stu….pid or……….
These foreigners are too ambitious for
us ????

We are just hearing of such discoveries but nothing tangible has come out. Where are the actual so called minerals?
What is this story saying? A goldmine cannot be discovered. It is the mineral that gets discovered then you dig a mine. Is the story saying a goldmine previously dug by inhabitants we dont know has been discovered?
I wish it was high IQ and integrity discovered in high quantities rather than finite gold.Sweden and Japan have no mineral wealth but look at them…you see?
Enka londolola bwino kabili. What are you saying? Or are you being sarcastic?
When in Rome do as the Romans do applies to a certain extent here
otherwise one may be parting against the wind
Zambia is rich in minerals but we still
Streching our hands to the IMF bowl.
Imagine! I came all the way to Sasa Frika for gold. Only to hear it is being discovered in tons back home
