Meanwhile Senior Headman Nyampande said it was unfortunate that he was not even approached by ZCCM-IH when it was putting the gold processing plant in his area. Bishop Mambo said only few cooperatives had been formed in the area because the communities had no proper information of how they could obtain the legal documents for them to start mining. He said in an interview yesterday, it was important for the ministry and the relevant authorities mandated to oversee gold mining to give a clear picture on how the communities can be engaged in the mining of the resource. Bishop Mambo said Zambians were yearning to form cooperatives but were not guided on how it should be done. And Senior Headman Nyampande, John Mamba has requested the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development and ZCCM-IH to give a clear roadmap regarding the formation of cooperatives for gold hosting communities to be engaged in the mining of the resource. This will help to promote self-sufficiency in each group especially that we now have a wider market,” said Mr Tembo. “We are also elated to note that our two cooperatives, Chimwetu and Pokela will each receive their own equipment soon. He however appealed to government to ensure that foreigners were removed from Rufunsa, saying that they were depriving the locals of their God-given wealth. Mr Tembo also said the assurance by the President on the handover of the gold mining equipment was exciting. According to him, allowing for the market forces to determine the price of the commodity would enable the cooperatives to gain real value for the commodity. Mr Tembo said that if the cooperatives were allowed to sell the gold to the best buyer then this would enable them to make favorable bargains. He said the Presidential assurance excited all cooperatives who initially thought that ZCCM-IH would monopolise the business in the area. Mr Tembo disclosed that during his recent visit to Rufunsa, President Lungu said assured the cooperatives that they were not restricted to only deal with ZCCM-IH. He however appealed to government to allow them go further and mine the deposits in the national park. This will help promote self-sufficiency in each group especially that we now have a wider market,” said Mr Tembo.

Rufunsa’s Chimwetu Gold Mining Cooperative Chairman, Emmanuel Tembo said the pronouncement was an indication that Government was serious with uplifting lives of Zambians. And President Edgar Lungu’s pronouncement that gold cooperatives be allowed to deal with any genuine buyers and not only ZCCM-IH have elated the artisanal miners. They have vowed that they will not allow foreigners to “steal” their God given resource. The cooperatives have also requested to mine in the national parks where there is more gold. GOLD Mining Cooperatives in Rufunsa are excited by President Edgar Lungu’s pronouncement that they will receive equipment and sales will be liberalised.
