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. From 1 January 2026, that arrangement is a liability, not a strategy. Two instruments did it, and only together. Statutory Instrument 68 of 2025 is the trigger: it forces… Read More Here
