Undermining the urban present: Struggles over toxicity and environmental knowledge in Zambian mining cities A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Hillary Waters IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Vinay Gidwani October 2019 Ó Hillary Waters 2019 Acknowledgements Vinay Gidwani’s unending support and patience made this project possible. He encouraged me to explore all the tangents and rabbit holes of fieldwork that led to the more interesting moments within. More significantly, after I returned, he prodded me into new conceptual territory and helped me home in on the crux. His meticulous editing turned my occasionally jumbled writing into exactly what I wanted to say. I spent many intellectually formative hours with Valentine Cadieux in long chats that often started with one of us popping a head in the other’s office door just to say hello. Bruce Braun turned my attention to many of the major works that frame my argument, and Tomas Frederiksen met me in Zambia on the drop of a hat (I think the day he was returning to the UK) and gave fantastic advice on the practicalities of researching the mining industry in Zambia. Together, I am thankful for the kindness, generosity, and intellectual passion of my committee—both in their own work and in guiding mine. Being a part of the research and scholarly community in Zambia is quite honestly the highlight of everything. You all give me faith in the future. The Southern African Institute for Policy and Research (SAIPAR) played an enormous intellectual and social role for me and I am grateful for the community you have molded. Marja Hinfelaar, thank you for taking me on! Visiting Elizabeth Colson with you was a treat and emblematic of one of the things I love most about SAIPAR: your transgression of disciplinary boundaries. Jessica Achberger, thank you for your friendship and support both in Zambia and after I returned. Within the SAIPAR community, I want to specifically thank “The people who can’t decide”: Cynthia Matare, Salif Jaiteh, Lovisa Arlid, and Antonia Grönvall – I hope our lives cross again one day. Special mention should also go to Christian Straube, Hélène Blaszkiewicz, Edna Litana, Hikabwe Chipande, Duncan Money, Erin Hern, Michael Wahman, Josaphine Katoma, and Hangala Siachiwena. Citizens for a Better Environment (CBE), headed by Peter Sinkamba, is an engaged scholar organization based in Kitwe. They shared some data and helped connect me with several research assistants. I hope my work can contribute to their mission in some small way. Mwelwe Musosha is the best research partner one could ever ask for. He joined me for focus groups and helped to translate for me in the moment while staying engaged and asking questions himself. Out of sheer interest he also joined me for interviews in Mufulira. His questions, comments, and understandings deepened this work. I also worked with three other fantastic research assistants, Stallone Chishimba, Nkhatazo i Lungu, and Bright Munali. Focus groups were translated by Musosha and I—and then when we became too busy to find the time, Lunda Banda and Towela Ndhlema took over. This work could not have been done without the support of various institutions including NGOs such as Morgan Katati’s Zambian Institute for Environmental Management, ActionAid, Amnesty International, and various organizations under the umbrella of the Catholic Church. Within the government, people at the Mine Safety Department, the Zambian Environmental Management Agency, the National Archives and ZCCM-IH Archives, and local government offices were all instrumental in this work. There is a lot about ‘government’ in these pages, but there are people within the Zambian government fighting the good fight every day. And finally, there are many friends I can’t name because you also participated in this research. Thank you for hours of fascinating conversations, trips, and pushing me to think in new ways. My graduate education at the University of Minnesota was supported by assistantships from the Department of Geography; a summer of funding from the Department and pre- dissertation help from Vinay Gidwani; a Fulbright Fellowship for fieldwork; and a University of Minnesota Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship. Sara Braun and Glen Powell helped immensely with university details, requirements, funding, and all things administrative. At the last minute, Andrea Prichard answered my plea for maps—thank you for orienting my readers. Crossing paths with me at the University of Minnesota, I would not be where I am today without the talented friends and colleagues in the department. I would like to especially thank Nicki Simms, Ilona Moore, Basil Mahayni, Jake Barney, Sian Butcher, Lalit Batra, and Daniel Hawes for your friendships, especially early on. Thank you to Joe Getzoff, Kwame Adovor, Jay Bowman, Joseph Witik, Raj Reddy, Asli Erensu, Laura Matson, Kai Bosworth, Aaron Mallory, Sara Nelson, Nikhil Anand, Scott St. George, and Paula Pentel for being wonderful colleagues and friends. Larry Baker, on my committee while this was still a water quality project, provided immense support throughout my graduate journey. Special mention must go to Jessica Finlay, writing partner extraordinaire. Finally, I must thank my family for their continued support and willingness to stop asking me if I was “done yet.” Thank you, Dad, for believing in me—and for reading, discussing, and guiding me through things the whole way, starting with my graduate school application. Christine, your love, support, and abundant faith in me made completing this possible. ii Dedication To those who appear in these pages: thank you for sharing your hearts, lives, and homes with me. My biggest fear has been that I wouldn’t do you justice; I hope one day you find it. iii Table of Contents Acknowledgements i Dedication iii Table of Contents iv List of images and maps viii List of AbbreViations xi Orientations xiii Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Research Questions and Argument 7 The Scene 11 Sites 16 Some housekeeping 27 Organization of Dissertation 28 Chapter 2: The biopower of ignorance: Individualizing blame for lead poisoning in Kabwe, Zambia 33 Quasi-becoming through the biopower of ignorance 36 Kabwe’s Broken Hill 40 Secrecy 44 De-politicization narratives 50 Lead is natural 50 Individual responsibility for toxic exposure 57 Chapter 3: ‘There are no facts’: Manufactured ignorance through a regulatory apparatus and seductive enumerations 69 Construction 72 Creating an apparatus 72 Seductive Enumerations 78 Simple fictions 81 iv Regulations 85 Enumerations 96 97% of [redacted] 96 Pollution (Mis)Counted 103 The experts 108 Chapter 4: “We have even stopped waiting”: Life amidst toxicity in Mufulira and Kabwe, Zambia 115 Waiting, redefined 119 Conditions 125 Waiting, Everyday 130 Ordered life 130 Active waiting 134 Furious Waiting 146 Waiting Effects 153 Suspicion 153 The dehumanization of waiting 156 Chapter 5: Kitwe’s Black Mountain: The politics and livelihoods of ruination and refiguration of mining debris 159 Interventions 164 Violence, Danger, and Disagreements 176 Not for Sale 181 Knowing how to re-mine 183 Chapter 6: ‘Senta is better than acid that is gas’: Embodied knowledge and the politics of refusal in Kankoyo, Mufulira 188 Sensed, Emplaced, Recounted: A sketch of the (em)body 193 Mopani’s Account 197 “Senta is better than acid that is gas” 200 Plantspeak 204 Sensing Senta 216 V Re-countings 218 The proof is in the wind 226 Chapter 7: Contesting claims with embodied knowledge at Mopani’s Mufulira heap leach 230 Mopani’s Heap Leaching 233 Life beside the heap 237 The first multi-stakeholder meeting 240 Contesting technical facts with embodied knowledge 248 The Gadget 252 The Survey 258 Chapter 8: “In the dark”: A conclusion 264 Bibliography 273 Appendix A: Methods 284 Interviews 284 Focus Groups 285 Mine Visits 288 Data collection 288 Note on exclusions 289 Appendix B: MOH and DMMU Report 291 vi List of Tables and Charts Table 1: Township overview ............................................................................................ 22 Table 2: Focus Groups .................................................................................................... 286 vii List of images and maps Image 1: Map of Zambia .................................................................................................. xiii Image 2: Map of Kabwe, Zambia .................................................................................... xiv Image 3:Map of Mufulira, Zambia ................................................................................... xv Image 4: Map of Kitwe, Zambia ...................................................................................... xvi Image 5: Timeline of world copper prices, Zambian production ..................................... 14 Image 6: Welcome to Mufulira, a place of abundance ..................................................... 17 Image 7: Kankoyo, Mufulira ............................................................................................. 19 Image 8: Butondo, Mufulira ............................................................................................. 21 Image 9: Lack of vegetation in Kankoyo .......................................................................... 23 Image 10: Children playing in Chowa .............................................................................. 26 Image 11: Lead in Kabwe's soil .......................................................................................

    Report20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(C)3

    PHOTO BY PAUL ISHII ANNUAL REPORT20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(c)3. EIN: 46-1380419 No one can foresee the duration or severity of COVID’s human and economic toll. But the malaria global health community agrees it will be disastrous to neglect or underinvest in malaria during this period, and thereby squander a decade of hard won progress. By some estimates, halting malaria intervention efforts could trigger a return to one million malaria deaths per year, a devastating mortality rate unseen since 2004. To that end many of our efforts last year were to strategically advocate for continued global malaria funding, as well as supporting COVID adjustments to ensure malaria projects were not delayed. Last year we supplied Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to over 700 Rotary-funded community health workers (CHWs) in Uganda and Zambia; altered CHW The training to incorporate appropriate social distancing; conducted several webinars specifically focused on maintaining malaria financial support despite COVID; and we provided $50,000 to the Alliance for Malaria Prevention used for COVID/malaria public education in Africa. Jeff Pritchard Board Chair While our near-term work must accommodate pandemic restrictions, we are still firmly committed to our mission, “to generate a broad international Rotary campaign for the global elimination of malaria.” During the coming twelve months we intend to: • Implement a blueprint developed in 2020 for a large long-term Road malaria program with Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and World Vision, in the most underserved regions of Zambia’s Central and Muchinga Provinces, positively impacting nearly 1.4 million residents.

A PARTICIPATORY EXPLORATION OF ADOLESCENT SCHOOL JOURNEYS IN ZAMBIA 1 Research Approach Commissioned by UNICEF Zambia, a primarily qualitative study was conducted to understand how decisions are made on whether or not adolescents (aged 10–19) complete their schooling in Zambia. In order to answer this, the research examined key actors and factors in journeys of school retention and dropout in Zambia. Round Robins, three-day activities with adolescents, provided an innovative and participatory means of gathering information and making adolescents actors in the research; case studies with adolescents and parents, and focus group discussions with parents and teachers, along with stakeholder key informant interviews and a small quantitative exercise in Lusaka, were also used. See Dropping Out? A Participatory Exploration of Adolescent School Journeys in Zambia – Final Report for further methodological info. This report consolidates key findings from Mufulira.

    Appraising the 1970 Mufulira Mine Disaster in Zambia Alfred Tembo

    Historia, 64, 2, November 2019, pp 109‐131 After the deluge: Appraising the 1970 Mufulira mine disaster in Zambia Alfred Tembo Abstract This article endeavours to position the Mufulira mine disaster in the wider historiography of mining in post‐colonial Zambia. In the early hours of 25 September 1970, about two million tonnes of water, and slimes cascaded into the main working area of the Mufulira copper mine on the Zambian Copperbelt. It choked the mine’s main and intermediate haulages, and put three incline shafts, an ancillary crusher, and pumping stations out of action. This deluge, the worst mine disaster in the country’s mining history, resulted in the death of 89 miners and had the subsequent socio‐economic effect of having to resettle their widows and orphans. The cataclysm also led to a cut, by as much as 50 per cent, of the nation’s copper production, its main foreign exchange earner. The resultant reduction in government revenue generation due to a decline in copper production had a severe impact on the nation’s fiscus. But most importantly, this tragedy occurred at a time of serious socio‐political challenges in the newly independent state of Zambia. While the incident at Mufulira was costly to shareholders, the state, and the affected families, it also became a blessing in disguise because its aftermath set new standards in mine safety on the Copperbelt as well as in the rest of the mining industry. Key words: Zambia; mining industry; Mufulira; Copperbelt; Roan Selection Trust. Opsomming Hierdie artikel poog om die plek van die Mufulira‐mynramp binne die breëre mynbouhistoriografie van post‐koloniale Zambië te bepaal.

    Mufulira Smelter Upgrade Project - ‘Industry’ Smelting on the Zambian Copperbelt

    MUFULIRA SMELTER UPGRADE PROJECT - ‘INDUSTRY’ SMELTING ON THE ZAMBIAN COPPERBELT Published: 2005 J. Ross – Metallurgical Manager, Smelter and Concentrator D. de Vries – Smelter Project Process Engineer Mopani Copper Mines PLC P.O. Box 22000 Kitwe, ZAMBIA ABSTRACT When the privatisation of the Zambian copper industry was concluded in 2000, the assets of Mopani Copper Mines Plc (MCM), including the Mufulira smelter, benefited from external investment that allowed for significant increases in productivity during the following four years. However, by end 2003, the integrity of the Mufulira smelter's electric furnace had deteriorated to an extent where the end-of-campaign was imminent and a furnace rebuild was necessary to continue smelting MCM concentrates. In November 2003, MCM committed to upgrade the smelting facility in Mufulira within two and a half years with the installation of an Isasmelt furnace and a matte settling electric furnace (MSEF) with a design capacity of 850,000 tpa concentrate. The increased smelting capacity considered the potential sources of `imported’ concentrates and copper bearing material produced from new mining developments in northern Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This paper describes the equipment, technologies and processes that constitute the Mufulira Smelter Upgrade Project (MSUP), which when commissioned during the first quarter of 2006 will provide capacity for `industry' smelting on the Zambian Copperbelt. Key Words: Pyrometallurgy, Copper, Zambia, Isasmelt. INTRODUCTION The Mufulira smelter, one of two operating copper smelters on the Zambian Copperbelt, currently processes over 400,000 tonnes of copper concentrates per annum, most of which is sourced from MCM’s mines i.e.

    Kitwe, Zambia FAO - Food for the Cities Programme

    CITY REGION FOOD SYSTEM SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Kitwe, Zambia FAO - Food for the Cities Programme - WORKING DOCUMENT - Prepared by Jacob Mwitwa (Copperbelt University), Mainza Sibajene (Kitwe City Council), Gilbert Chivanga Chipoya (Ministry of Agriculture), Yaki Namiluko (Copperbelt University), in consultation with FAO, 2016 ABOUT THIS REPORT City region food systems (CRFS) encompass the complex network of actors, processes and relationships involved in food production, processing, marketing and consumption in a given geographical region. The CRFS approach advocates for strengthened connectivity between urban centres and surrounding areas –whether peri-urban or rural– for a fair rural development and well-managed urbanisation. At the same time, it fosters the development of resilient and sustainable food systems, smallholder agriculture, sustainable rural and urban production, employment, improved livelihoods, and food and nutrition security for all. The Food for the Cities Programme aims at building more resilient and sustainable food systems within city regions by strengthening rural-urban linkages. The programme builds on the demand to better understand and operationalize the concept of city region food systems. It analyzes and assesses CRFS. The results will serve as a basis for further planning and informed decision-making, prioritizing investments and designing food policies and strategies, which aim at improving the resilience and sustainability of the entire food system, through a continuous participatory multi-stakeholder dialogue. In collaboration with the RUAF Foundation, projects are carried out in eight city regions: Colombo (Sri Lanka), Dakar (Senegal), Kitwe and Lusaka (Zambia), Medellin (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), Toronto (Canada) and Utrecht (the Netherlands). This report describes the first phase of the city region food system (CRFS) assessment.

Concentrate and other copper bearing feed materials (e.g. copper oxides) are also obtained from surrounding operations in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The main process operations at the Mufulira Smelter are copper concentrate reception and handling, copper smelting and converting, and fire refining. The product is anode copper which is refined electrolytically at the nearby Mufulira Refinery to produce cathode copper.
