Born from there actually 1980,when I walked under those buildings as a young boy they looked like skyscrapers now they look really down I love this town crime free town,very friendly people, I see nothing much as been done to improve the town, failure of government to decentralize but thanks man,beautiful memories
It appears to me that what we are seeing here was mostly left by the colonial master. The towns that have developed after independence have not been well planed. We should soul search fellow Zambians and Africans. Something is not right somewhere.😢
I (muzungu) was there in 1960s, 70's and 80's. There was a huge decline between the 1960s and 1980s - not enough investment into the roads and infrastructure. Pot-holes in the roads, pavements eroding, an exodus of great shops/stores. A slow exodus of 'colonialists' due to troubles in Zaire etc! As an expat though, you could slowly see that things stopped being built - most buildings were always colonial buildings (and clubs) from the 1940, 1950s & 1960's, but this was part of the charm i.e. not like Kitwe or Ndola with their modern high rise buildings. With proper investment, this town could easily find its former beauty and glory, but also hopefully, expand in a modern 'Zambian' way. Just needs money and honest local politicians!! With the world going electric and relying more on copper, Mufulira and the Copperbelt should be thriving. Why can't Kitwe look like Kigali in Rwanda!!? I hope to see Mufulira thrive, but in a new way.
You are not sure, copper is the major product and sulphuric acid is a by product then slimes contains gold,silver, cobalt etc do a research well before you present your argument
Have all the white people left now? When I lived in Muf in the 70's we were a wonderful mixed community of many different races and religions that all got on well together. Shame the rest of the world didn't learn from us!
I was there 50 years ago in the 70's, I remember it as a much smaller town, with a great mixed community as you say. The Copper Kettle Cafe, Solankis, and the Jambo Restaurant run by Hansa and Hashmuk Parmar. It has changed, exploded into a bustling big place, or maybe my memory is selective 🤷♂️
@@Katherine-zi6mw Kingston Book Shop, MacRaes, the banks etc. Zambians from all regions, whites, Indians. Rose-tinted expat glasses though? We didnt have to work hard underground, get paid less, or live in a township blighted by pollution. It was a great town though, until the bandit troubles started.
