 Dear Comrades,

 " KONKOLA COPPER MINES (KCM) DISHONESTY ZAMBIANS !!! PROTEST MARCH"


On Thursday 29th May 2014 more than 400 Civil society and social
movement members which was organised by ActionAId Zambia office in
partnership with Zambia Social forum (ZAMSOF)  marched to the
headquarters of Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) offices at ABACUS House in
Lusaka,Zambia.This cause to light when the chairman Anil Agariwal
announced the hundred of millions of dollars in profit the mine is
giving him in a mocking manner .And yet the Zambia Revenue Authority
(ZRA)  is not getting what is due in order to improve on social
welfare of many Zambians who are poor.In addition to that Zambians
kwacha is costing very high!

By creating a critical mass of people to protest which  was all
over the media houses, it has resulted the republican president of
Zambia Mr Micheal Chilufya Sata to direct the ministry of Mines to
do a report so that he can table it out in the cabinet soon about
dishonesty KCM by tax evasion.After getting the concerns of Zambians
who are the owners of natural resources through peacefully
demonstrations conducted.

There is power to solidarity !!

Regards,

Gershom
