BLACK MOUNTAIN YOUTHS DO SOME CSR
By Mushota Mpundu
A group of youths, who operate at the Black Mountain, have started rehabilitating the dilapidated Chibuluma Road in Kitwe which is used by international trucks heading to North Western Province and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The youths have so far offloaded several tonnes of laterite on the road in readiness for rehabilitation.
And Nkana Member of Parliament BINWELL MPUNDU, who witnessed the works, said the efforts by the youths is temporal.
Mr. MPUNDU said the youths, with the help of Mopani Copper Mines, have decided to come on board to work on the Chibuluma road because it is now heavily dilapidated.
The Nkana law maker said the Chibuluma Road has been in a very bad state adding that offloading laterite soil is one of the temporal measures the youths have embarked on as they wait for Government to work on it.
And Kitwe District Commissioner LAWRENCE MWANZA thanked the youths and Nkana Member of Parliament BINWELL MPUNDU, Kitwe City Council officials and Mopani Coppermine for coming on board.
Mr. MWANZA said in an interview with ZNBC News that Government is committed to ensure that the road is tarred soon to allow the smooth flow of international truckers.
