Government Urged To Take An Aggressive Approach In Its Negotiations With Mopani Copper Mines

By Tinkerbel Mwila

Kantashi Member of Parliament Anthony Mumba has advised government to take an aggressive approach in the ongoing negotiations with Mopani Copper Mines on their intention to place its Mufulira and Kitwe mines on care and maintenance next month.

Mr. Mumba tells Phoenix News that a 50/50 outcome should be reached for the benefit of the government, Mopani and the two communities where the mine operates from.

He has cautioned that failure to do so may lead to a high possibility of people losing out.

Mr. Mumba says there is need for government to provide clear direction and strategy on the way forward on Mopani before July 31st when the mine intends to place the Mufulira and Kitwe mines on care and maintenance.

Last week, Mines Minister Richard Musukwa disclosed that government was still in talks with Mopani Copper Mine regarding the future of the company and will engage all stakeholders once concluded.
