Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Official Receiver Natasha Kalimukwa has taken over the running of the affairs of Konkola Copper Mines following the resignation of Milingo Lungu as provisional Liquidator for KCM.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kalimukwa has announced the development in a statement issued on Tuesday. She has advised stakeholders to deal with the official receiver in all matters pertaining to Konkola Copper Mines.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lungu resigned recently from his position as Konkola Copper Mines Plc Provisional Liquidator with immediate effect and did not give any reasons for his resignation.<\/p>\n

The provisional liquidator of Zambia\u2019s Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), a company over which Vedanta Resources and the government have been locked in a long dispute.<\/p>\n

Zambia\u2019s previous government, which owns 20% of KCM through state mining investment firm ZCCM-IH, handed control of KCM to liquidator Milingo Lungu in 2019, triggering the dispute with Vedanta, which owns the other 80%.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what Mr. Lungu\u2019s resignation would mean for KCM\u2019s future. Vedanta has said it is keen to resolve the dispute over KCM and has pledged to invest $1.5 billion into its operations.<\/p>\n

In a letter seen by dated March 17 and addressed to KCM official receiver Natasha Kalimukwa, Mr. Lungu said he had resigned, but he did not give any reason for his decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis serves to inform you that I have with immediate effect resigned as provisional liquidator of Konkola Copper Mines,\u201d read the letter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Kalimukwa had moved on March 11 to suspend Lungu after receiving a complaint from ZCCM-IH relating to mismanagement. Mr. Lungu refused to go, however, saying Ms. Kalimukwa had no power to remove him as he had been appointed by a court.<\/p>\n
