Ku Kopala

Ku Kopala- Translated as "On the Copperbelt" is a song that shares some unpopular realities faced by families on the Copperbelt. The protection of groundwater resources is of great importance in many semi-arid and sub-tropical environments. The Copperbelt of Zambia is one such environment and due to the high proportion of tailings impoundments, residue heaps, high-density informal settlements and extensive sulfidic ore deposits in the region, its groundwater resources are under threat of anthropogenic or geogenic pollution. Air and water pollution are among the most significant environmental problems facing the communities living in and around the copper mining areas in Zambia. It is a complex issue, which cuts across the environmental, social, economic, and political dimensions. Despite recent investments and technological improvements to capture sulphur dioxide emissions and minimize the discharge of mine effluents into natural streams, there are still numerous reports that cite air and water pollution problems.
Ku Kopala is a single from the LIFELESS project under the BERTHA CHALLENGE FELLOWSHIP.

This what music is supposed to do. I feel as Zambians we need to be protecting our future. We wonder what ZEMA commented on co these are primary impact assessment to be considered. I wonder if community participation was done. Thanks for voice pilato voice of the voiceless.
