SOLWEZI, ZAMBIA – A leather workshop that once produced just one pair of shoes a day is now positioning itself to supply Zambia’s mining industry, thanks to Kansanshi Mining PLC’s push to build a genuine local‑content supply chain.

Zambia’s new local content and beneficial ownership rules took effect on 1 January 2026. For any foreign firm still running a paper partner into the mines, the arithmetic no longer works. For years, supplying Zambia’s mines ran on a quiet arrangement. Put a Zambian name on the share register, keep the control and the cash offshore, tick the local content box.
