AFTER SIGNING A 25-YEAR LEASE TO GIVE AWAY COPPER, COBALT, LITHIUM AND MANGANESE

 AFTER SIGNING A 25-YEAR LEASE TO GIVE AWAY COPPER, COBALT, LITHIUM AND MANGANESE



🚨 Zambians react with shock and concern.


News has emerged that a 25-year lease has been signed, handing over rights to some of Zambia’s most valuable natural resources — copper, cobalt, lithium, and manganese.


While full details of the deal are still unfolding, early reports suggest that control of these minerals has been given to a foreign entity, sparking outrage and debate across the country.


💰 These are not just ordinary resources. They are critical minerals in global demand — used in electric car batteries, renewable energy tech, and electronics.


👥 Many citizens are asking:

➡️ Who signed this deal?

➡️ Was the public consulted?

➡️ What benefit will this bring to ordinary Zambians over the next 25 years?


Critics fear this may be another case of mortgaging the country’s wealth, while others argue it could be part of a long-term economic strategy.


But one thing is clear — Zambians want transparency, accountability, and a say in how national resources are managed.


💬 What’s your view on this 25-year deal? Is it development or exploitation?
