PF still enjoying popularity on Copperbelt – Chama

PF Secretary General Davies Chama

The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) says it still enjoys popularity on the Copperbelt despite the job losses in the mining sector.

PF Secretary General Davies Chama says his recent party mobilization tour of the Copperbelt has revealed that the people in the province understand better why there are job losses in the mines.

Mr. Chama says the people are aware that the PF government has nothing to do with what is happening in the mining industry.

He says people on the Copperbelt are also mindful that this is not the first time that there have been job losses in the mines as this also happened in 2008 when there was a global economic meltdown.

Mr. Chama says the ruling party is hopeful that the retrenched miners will be re-employed once the global economy recovers.
