Northwestern province and Solwezi particularly is host to key mines in Zambia. Kansanshi, Kalumbila and Lumwana mines are some of the major mining companies besides other small mining companies. We are also informed that the local council gets not less than K60m in rates every six months and this only comes from mining activities.

However the area is heavily neglected, while our reporter is in the area concerned with lack of infrastructure, MMD, PF, UPND, UNIP and FDD candidates are busy canvassing for votes in the 11th September by election. We hope and trust that the people of this great region will make good decision. The seat was previously held by MMD’s Lucky Mulusa but the supreme court nullified his victory due to electoral malpractices. 

Here are some of the pictures captured in the constituency.
