Equally, financial analyst Trever Hambayi noted that the coming of the investor at Mopani will create jobs for a lot of people that were retrenched.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hambayi also noted that the development will also boost business for other businesses as the mine operations will ensure liquidity in the province. He was optimistic that once in full operation, Mopani Copper Mines will push up the country\u2019s overall revenue generation.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, President Hakainde Hichilema officially handed over 51 per cent of Mopani Copper Mines to International Resources Holdings, a United Arab Emirates company, as an equity partner. The development has cheered various stakeholders who are optimistic that the development will lead to a positive turnaround of the Copperbelt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
