The Daure Daman Traditional Authority does not want a repeat of what happened when mines in its area of jurisdiction closed down.

The Traditional Authority says the mine closures led to wanton joblessness and poverty within the community.

The Minister of Finance and Public Enterprise, Iipumbu Shiimi, says the government is looking into reviving abandoned national projects in the Zambezi Region. Shiimi visited projects that have been left incomplete in the region.
