  • Mining Rights in Zambia
    MINING RIGHTS IN ZAMBIA MINING RIGHTS IN ZAMBIA Muna Ndulo LLB (Zambia) LLM (Harvard) D. Phil (Oxon) Advocate of the High Court for Zambia, Professor of Law, University of Zambia. Kenneth Kaunda Foundation Muna Ndulo, 1987 First Published 1987 by Kenneth Kaunda Foundation (Publishing and Printing Division) P. O. Box 32664, Lusaka, Zambia ISBN 9982-01-001-8 Printed in Zimbabwe by Print Holdings Dedicated to my parents Temba and Julia: They started it all. PREFACE A legal framework is required for most human endeavours, whether it be to apply justice or to establish codes of public conduct or to provide facilities for the conduct of social or economic life by regulating and thus enabling such activities to be carried out in an orderly manner. The number of these activities have proliferated considerably mostly as a result of the extraordinary industrial and social development of the world. Hence, like in all other activities legislation is required to establish rules and regulations to control mining activities. This book is an attempt to provide a detailed study of such a legal framework within which the orderly development and operations relating to the activities of mineral exploitation in Zambia are carried out. The term mining law here is used to mean those enactments which in various ways regulate the acquisition and tenure of mining rights and mining grounds, and the practice of mining-right holders. It relates primarily to the disposition of mining rights and the specific imposts that relate to the exploitation of mineral deposits. The main aspects of mining law cover such things as definition of minerals, ownership of resources, law relating to the right to mine, conditions of governing the issue and holding of mining rights, and the relationship between mineral-and surface-right holders.

Read Full License Page 1/24 Abstract River oodplains such as the Barotse Flood Plain (BFP) in Western Zambia, provide a large number of ecosystem services and economic value for the inhabitants. Yet, in spite of its importance, the ood plain has been vulnerable to drivers of land use change suggestive of potential wetland degradation. This study aimed at determining the extent of land use change in the wetland of BFP in the selected years between 1980 to 2020 and identifying, and assessing drivers of land use change in the wetlands of BFP using satellite data. The study utilized both secondary and primary data sources. Primary data was collected using interview schedule, key informants’ interviews, Participatory Rural Appraisal and eld observations. The Raosoft random sample calculator was used to determine the sample size of heads of households from 9 districts that are found within the Barotse Flood Plain. Then, proportional sample size per district out of 270 was calculated.

  • Chapter 8 Micro-Hydropower Generation Planning
    Chapter 8 Micro-Hydropower Generation Planning Chapter 8. Micro-Hydropower Generation Planning Chapter 8. Micro-Hydropower Generation Planning 8.1. Current Status of Micro-Hydropower Development In Zambia, there already exist some micro-hydropower plants (hereinafter referred to as “Mc-HPs”) as shown in Chapter 3. These Mc-HPs, located in a remote area far from ZESCO’s distribution lines, are operated by local cooperatives for supplying electricity to local hospitals, clinics, schools, farm, and so on. In the Rural Electrification Master Plan Study, development of Mc-HPs like that is considered to be an option to enhance rural electrification in some remote areas in Zambia. According to the estimate of some preceding studies, Zambia has a potential of hydropower generation of more than 6,000 MW and only 1,700MW out of that has been developed so far. However, not many Mc-HP projects to serve rural electrification have been discussed so far, with some exceptions like “Chitokoloki Mission” and “Zengamene” projects that REA selected for REF release in 2006 (refer to Table 3-2). This modest approach toward Mc-HPs shows a clear contrast with the case of large hydropower development to be connected to the national grid, where many projects have come up for consideration in these days, and some of them will possibly be realized, for improving the country’s supply-demand balance that has become seriously tight due to the rapid growth of domestic electricity consumption such as the recovery of mining sector. 8.2.
