Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Edgar Lungu has threatened to arrest UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema after winning next week\u2019s general polls for privatizing the mines. President Lungu said<\/p>\n

Addressing the Mines Unions in Kitwe today, President Lungu said Mr, Hichilema has an insatiable appetite to sell the country to foreigners and that tine has come for Mr Hichilema to pay for benefiting the privatization exercise before adding that he will not allow the sell of mines to happen as long as he remains Head of State.<\/p>\n

President Lungu disclosed that he has received information that some opposition political parties have asked for money from foreigners who they have promised to give the management of mines if voted for on August 12, 2021.<\/p>\n

President Lungu wondered why some leaders who were involved in the privatizations of the mines would still want to sell the mines back to foreigners. President Lungu has since promised to punish people involved in the sale of mines after he wins next week\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

The President mentioned United Party for National Development leader Hakainde Hichilema has having asked for 300 thousand dollars in exchange for the mines if he wins the general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those who sold the mines will be punished and I will deal with that matters slowly,\u201d said President Lungu.<\/p>\n

\u201c I am here to tell you that umulandu taubola, when I come back next week, I will prosecute HH for selling the mines,\u201d Mr Lungu said. He continued, \u201c Ulya umuntu aliba incorrigible, alilufyanya ichalo but he continues to do the same thing. I will send him to jail after 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he has information that Mr. Hichilema has been soliciting favors from Vedanta Resources promising to give them back the mines if he wins the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been going to Vedanta and telling them that the US$ 100,000 he has received to help them get back the mines is not enough, he now wants Vedanta to give him US$300,000 and he will surrender the mines to them if he wins,\u201d President Lungu claimed.<\/p>\n

President Lungu said the Vedanta chapter in Zambia is fully closed. President Lungu also refuted claims that Mr Hichilema is responsible for strengthening the kwacha against the dollar.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Hichilema is always contradicting himself with political statements he makes to the public which renders him untrustworthy,\u201d the President said And President Lungu has warned all foreign electoral observers not to interfere with the country\u2019s electoral process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not be intimidated by western countries who are trying to intimidate me. Zambian people will decide who gets into State House. All those monitors are here to monitor and not to interfere. Campaigning and the electoral process is for Zambians and allow them to choose their leaders<\/p>\n

And speaking earlier, Mine Union Workers of Zambia and National Union of Miners and Allied Workers presidents have pledged support to President Lungu by voting him into office next week.<\/p>\n

Mr. Chewe said the developments at Konkola Copper Mines and Mopani have given hope to the miners while others are happy to have received their full terminal benefits.<\/p>\n

Both Union leaders, James Chansa and Joseph Chewe thanked the President for ensuring miners are paid their benefits by the mine. \u201cWe are confirming that we have received the money that you promised us,\u201d said Mr. Chewe.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have really helped us and we are going to give u support because our jobs have been guaranteed,\u201d said Mr Chewe. Government has paid out K12 million to mine workers at Mopani Copper mine as their terminal benefits.<\/p>\n

This was after President Lungu met the mine workers union leaders in Kitwe where the miners asked to be paid their dues after Glencore placed the mine under care and maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
