Zambia's government on Wednesday ordered mining company Mwembeshi Resources Ltd to immediately halt all activities on the $494 million copper project it is developing in the Lower Zambezi National Park.
Collins Nzovu, the minister of green economy and environment, said the company had violated a number of environmental conditions pertaining to the Kangaluwi copper mine.
"We anticipate resumption of operations as soon as possible," Shalala told Reuters. "We are a company that respects the law and the government, and we should be able to meet the benchmarks which the government and ZEMA want." They also say toxic chemicals from a planned tailings facility could end up contaminating water in the Zambezi basin, posing a danger to livelihoods.
