Zambia: Chinese Mine Disaster Poisons Kafue River, Puts Millions at Risk | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Zambia is facing an environmental disaster after a toxic spill from the Chinese-owned Sino-Metals Leach Zambia mine poisoned the Kafue River, a lifeline for millions. On February 18, a dam holding acidic waste collapsed, spilling 50 million litres of toxic sludge. The disaster killed fish, destroyed farmland, and cut off clean water for 700,000 people in Kitwe. The government scrambled to contain the damage, but anger is rising as another Chinese mine was caught covering up an acid spill—part of a growing pattern of environmental harm. With over $4 billion in Chinese debt, Zambia faces tough questions. As protests grow, will the country break free from this toxic cycle of exploitation? Watch the full report to learn more.

No body trust Chains please be careful
You have a right to cancel the deals straightaway and refuse to pay a dime.Africa should assert itself and kick out any foreigners who break environmental laws etc.
China is #1 for pollution, they have a masters degree in it i feel. Safety is Never part of their code
Am Zambian and trust me on this nothing will happen to those responsible for this
That's how low my country has gone
Ghana to listen to this !
For how long shall this be allowed to happen ??
For China, “mining” means all resource are mine.
The problem is when you are not managing your business for yourself,,these people doesn't cares about Africans but only the greed for money. Everyone will pay the price.
No to chines
Kuya bebele namufilwa
Get china company out all of the you could not do that in china
Most black primister are sell outs from africa to the Caribbean
Ditto everywhere in Africa and other emerging economies. Water security is at existential threat…
See map..toxins will also destroy the Zambezi river.. Victoria Falls.. Kariba Dam..Cabora Basa dam..Mana Pools..Caprivi!!!
A Chinese company makes some mistake and your headline Says china poisons Zambia. Is India really a brics member if you can produce such propaganda against a fellow brics member. You should should choose where you truly belong.
Chinese agencies don't care much to safety regulations. It is obvious across many other african countries where their companies operate.
Would ZNBC report this the exact way Firstpost is reporting it?
This is new
When will they learn Chinese dont give a shit about the rest of the world
Kafue river flows into Zambezi river which flows covering Zambia,Zimbabwe and Mocambique and finally into the Indian ocean.The damage is enormous
The Chinese font care about the environment they are profiting from. They regard Africa with such disdain…
Behold! The stupid African presidents never learn
We are doomed.
This is not an accident. It is Chinese unconventional warfare. They did the same thing in Ghana, they poisoned the water with mercury
Africans must tax non africans a high price in all black countries its getting out of hand selling out your own people.
This happens everywhere where there are mines not just its a Chines mines. ONLY competant government can handle this. Not interest
