Thank you HH for MCM

- JAMES KASANDA, Mufulira.

HERE in Kankoyo Constituen­cy, we lost hope that Mopani would not rise again. Hunger and unemployme­nt has been the order of the day.

The news of things getting back to normal has made me very happy.

The new dawn administra­tion’s target of producing three million metric tonnes of copper by 2030 is very much attainable looking at the progressiv­e milestone of unlocking Mopani Mine.

When there's good leadership in positions of authority, change is easily noticed.

Mopani was on care and maintenanc­e with little or no production taking place.

Hope, was almost lost, however, the leadership exhibited by the Minister of Mines and Minerals Developmen­t, Mr Paul Kabuswe by making sure the sector is revamped fully and in making sure the direction of President Hakainde Hichilema of having more people in direct employment.

As a resident of Mufulira, I am very happy and humbled seeing what's happening in the mining sector.

The hope that was lost has been restored to the people of Mufulira and Kitwe.

As a young engineerin­g graduate who grew up from Mufulira, I want to thank the President who has been talking about more jobs, jobs in the mining sector. Appreciati­on to the efforts that has been made by Mr Kabuswe on having sleepless nights until the mine is fully functional.

Thank you to the profession­al team at the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Developmen­t for having we Zambians at heart.

The works and effort of Mr Heartson Mabeta, the Kankoyo Member of Parliament cannot go unnoticed in revamping the mine, kudos.

In summary, when a lot of people are in direct and indirect employment, the economy of the country keeps on growing. As Zambians and more especially, we people of the Copperbelt need to support the hardworkin­g government of the new dawn for the country to reach greater heights.
