LOST TREASURE

DID YOU KNOW!
The Kabwe ZCCM mine helped greatly in the establishment and
growth of Kabwe town. In due course it became the largest property owner and
employer in Kabwe town and contributed significantly to the revenue of the
council through owner's rates and personal levy for its workers. Furthermore,
it also provided a large market for the goods and services offered by other
companies in Kabwe such as Zambia Railways Limited and Kabwe Milling Company
Limited.
The greatest negative impacts of the closure of the mine
were identified in the quality of life led by the former miners, the operations
of the Municipal Council and other institutions such as Zambia Railways Limited
and Kabwe Milling Company Limited.
