Kalumbila District is the cleanest in North-Western Province

It was officially created as a district in 2016.

The two mines operating in this district are Barrick mine and the FQM Trident Foundation mine.

The areas shown in the pictures have most of them been developed by the two mining firms whose employees (foreign nationals) stay there.

The government has not done much to develop this district and once the mining activities are over and the whites leave, this place will also be a white elephant like most districts on the Copperbelt.

For now kudos to the mining firms for their little efforts to beautify this district despite the indigenous people still languishing in abject poverty.

Senior Chief Ndungu of the Luvale-speaking people and Senior Chief Ishindi of the Lunda-speaking people shared a rare light moment today in Solwezi, marking the first face-to-face meeting between the two traditional leaders in over four decades.

Their meeting is significant, coming after years of strained relations rooted in long-standing chiefdom boundary disputes that have affected unity in Zambezi District.

Pictured together at an official ceremony where they received motorbikes for their royal retainers, the newly installed Chief Ndungu Kafwale and Chief Ishindi Kazanda were seen exchanging smiles—an image that has since gone viral and sparked widespread excitement among residents of Zambezi.

Many locals have expressed hope that the encounter signals the beginning of reconciliation and lasting peace between the two tribes.

Reacting to the photos shared by the Likumbi Lya Mize media team, aspiring Zambezi West Member of Parliament Raphael Ngimbu welcomed the gesture of unity.

"This is what we want to see going forward. I would love to see the two chiefs attending each other's ceremonies beginning this year in order to foster unity in Zambezi District. Let love lead!" he said.

The moment has been widely described as symbolic and potentially transformative, as traditional leadership continues to play a crucial role in promoting peace and coexistence in the region.

BREAKING: President Hichilema Ends National Mourning for Late President Edgar Lungu

President Hakainde Hichilema has officially ended the period of national mourning declared in honour of Zambia’s sixth president, Edgar Chagwa Lungu who died 14 days ago.

In a national address, President Hichilema said the government had reached a point where a decision had to be made to restore normalcy in the country.

He also extended an apology to the government and people of South Africa for the inconvenience caused on Thursday. South Africa’s defence officials had prepared to facilitate the repatriation of President Lungu’s remains, but the plan was halted after the late president’s family declined to proceed with the arrangement.

Hichilema has also warned that law and order should be upheld throughout this period.

SIX GOLD MINERS DIE IN MUFUMBWE

Six people have been confirmed dead following a tragic mine collapse in Kikonge area of Mufumbwe District, where hundreds of small-scale miners were digging for gold.

The gold miners created their own tunnels in aearch for gold which has since collapsed.

Mufumbwe District Commissioner Elijah Munyompe confirmed the incident to ZNBC News, stating that many more people are feared to have been trapped underground when the earth gave way earlier today.

“So far, we’ve retrieved six bodies — three from Solwezi, one from Lusaka, and one from Mufumbwe. The sixth victim is yet to be identified,” Mr. Munyompe said.

He added that the District Joint Operations Committee (DJOC) is still on site, continuing search and rescue efforts amid fears that more miners remain buried under the rubble.

The rescue operation, which began early in the morning, has so far only recovered the six bodies. They have since been transported to the Mufumbwe District Hospital mortuary.

Authorities are urging people to stay away from the unstable mining site as emergency teams continue their efforts.

The government listening to the people of Northwestern saying “our province is the richest in Zambia.”

PRESIDENT HAKAINDE HICHILEMA TO ADRESS THE NATION

“This evening at 19hrs, I will be addressing the nation on ZNBC to speak on matters of national importance,” the head of state wrote on his official page.

11/06/2025

The streets of Solwezi are unusually quiet—most residents have flocked to Mufumbwe in search of gold.

Now overwhelmed by the influx, Mufumbwe is becoming overcrowded, and the crime rate is gradually rising. Some of those who made the journey, now stranded and without resources, have begun turning to crime as a means of survival.
