Mopani Copper Mines with large scale copper mines at Kitwe and Mufulira will soon be announcing the official decision to pay terminal benefits to qualifying employees. This follows   the change of ownership of mine from Glencore to ZCCM IH.

Mine Workers Union of Zambia (MUZ)  President Joseph Chewe stated that the issue of payout of terminal benefits has been on the cards and needed to be dealt with following the change in management  control. Mopani Chief Executive Officer briefed President Lungu, who visited the company site,  that the mine under local management was settling down and month on month production was steadily increasing.

President Lungu stated that Mopani Employees would also be paid their terminal benefits after the necessary internal procedures and board approvals are put in place. The head of state told the union to discuss with new management of Mopani on how best this decision could be implemented and when the first installment and modes of payment would be effected.

KCM Workers have been paid the first installment of their terminal benefits after the exit of Vedanta, the next installment will be paid
also, though the time of payment has yet to be decided.
