President Hichilema to Recommission Deep Shaft at Lubambe Mine Amid Renewed Mining Sector Growth
President Hakainde Hichilema is set to recommission the deep shaft at Lubambe Mine in Chililabombwe, located in Zambia’s Copperbelt Province, on Friday.
The announcement was made by Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa during a press conference held in Choma on Thursday.
“On Friday, the President will officiate at the recommissioning of the Lubambe deep shaft, where two deep shafts are either being commissioned or prepared for construction,” said Mr. Mweetwa.
He added that this development reflects the positive impact of recent economic growth and a renewed commitment from the business community to invest in mining operations that had previously stalled due to an unattractive investment climate.
President Hichilema’s visit underscores the New Dawn administration’s focus on revitalizing key infrastructure projects, which are expected to attract foreign investment and create quality jobs in the Copperbelt.
Following the event, the President is scheduled to return to his farm in Choma, Southern Province, on Friday evening.
