Chililabombwe Mayor Christabel Mulala says Lubambe Copper Mines (LCM) is spurring the ‘Keep Chililabombwe Clean Green and Health’ campaign.
Speaking during the cleaning exercise facilitated by LCM in Konkola today, Ms Mulala said the Council wants to work with like-minded corporate entities in ensuring the surroundings are clean, green and health.
She said cleaning is the exercise in which every resident must be get involved because cleanliness is life.
The Mayor said LCM promised to make the wheelbarrows, rakes and all cleaning equipment available during the monthly cleaning exercise which happens every last Saturday of the month.
Speaking earlier LCM Chief Executive Officer Nick Bowen said the mining firm was adhering to the Presidential directive of the ‘Keep Zambia Clean, Green and Health’ campaign.
Mr Bowen said the cleaning exercise which incorporated pupils from Konkola Primary School was a good move because it will inculcate the cleanliness attitude in pupils from tender age.
Mr Bowen later donated assorted items to Konkola Primary school, among them the text books, paints, cleaning equipment and agents plus plants.
Konkola Head Teacher Joseph Chaila received the donation on behalf of the school.
And in a vote of thanks Esther Chulu one of the pupils applauded LCM for the donation of the textbooks saying it will be easier for pupils to pass well.
She said LCM has been a partner of the school which sponsors pupils to Grade 10 when they do well.
