PRESIDENT Banda has banned the export of scrap metal with immediate effect. The President has also revoked all export licences already issued for scrap metal through a statutory instrument.
Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) communications and public relations manager Margaret Chimanse announced the ban in a statement released in Lusaka on September 19. Ms Chimanse said President Banda approved Statutory Instrument number 102 on the Control of Goods (Import and Export) (Commerce) (Protection of Export) Order, 2011 for implementation.
She said the President’s order states that “all scrap metal is banned from exportation out of the country and a permit or licence issued for the exportation of scrap metal has been revoked”.
Ms Chimanse said the statutory instrument has been endorsed by the Ministry of Justice.“It also states that a person who contravenes the order commits an offence and is liable, upon conviction, to a fine not exceeding 1,500,000 penalty units or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or both,” she said.
Ms Chimanse said the court may, upon the conviction of an offender, order that the scrap metal, which is the subject matter of the offence, be forfeited to the State.
Recently, concerned scrap metal dealers appealed to Government to lift the ban on the exports of scrap metal because the local buyers are paying little for it.

No 1 you are going to have a shock of your life……
May Rb win today’s elections.
dream on
#1 bola panshi before you get a heart attack. At the end of the day, the collective will of the people will prevail and either Sata, RB or HH will be sworn in on Friday. Let’s try and contain our emotions to avoid unnecessary high blood pressure, heart attacks and collapsing.
now i know why some people could not be elected into office. some ballot papers were brought in amid counting and the chaps poured chibuku on the computers and guess what, the polling officers had to recount the ballots including the newly brought consignment, and who won, LEVY PATRICK MWANAWASA. His was the longest so far presidential petition in the whole world. it lasted for 4 years and by the time it was 2005, Miyanda was tired of going to the courts, ask him even if he is participating today. sometimes i think he is part of the secret equation of election malpractising in zambia, a sober man giving legitimacy to the corrupt systems.
riv2012 on March 28, 2011 If a debt clioectlon agency buys your debt without your consent, then thank the debt company and tell them to piss off. Tell them to show you a contract YOU signed between you and debt agency. If no contract then there’s no debt. Simple.
# 2&3,Not this time,i had it once and iam not going that route again.just want change 20 years is too much,i don’t mind HH,miyanda or myself.

LAST KICKS OF A DYING HORSE CHKALA

Give me the RB Marcopolo Bus as my souveneir to remember RB always when he was my Republican president . Since he has not finsihed a mandorory 2 -terms of office he cant try again in 2016.
HE IS PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT GOING INTO SCRAP METAL BUSINESS AFTER LEAVING STATE HOUSE, SO HE DOESN’T WANT TO FIND IT FINISHED
Baffikala ba pf elyo na ma drip muma clinic tamuli nga wafenta na shock lobe.
On Friday when the results are announced he is history. Since the last election over 1.2million unemployed youths registered to vote. Rbish has done nothing for them! Let them teach him a lesson…..OH and Donchi kukambila…
# 2 Naiwe 3 Big pompi??? To hell with ur MMD nonsense, on what Grounds does he ban the export?? Hope he has the put a plan in place where to dump the same scrap metals? They can not even manage to put tangiable strategies for our country. Anso # 3 we know you bawiso is counting his days on his MMD given position. Mwanya ama deals yaya??
Be realized and talk facts. Who does bwezani think he is??? He does not own Zambia.
I am sure Bwezani has given the deals to his sons and DORA
He stopped the exporting because he knows all the deals he made won’t go through as he’s out of office now. Poor planning and SATA will sort your fat A$$ next week RUBBISH BANDA
Someone please remind Mr Rupiah Banda that as of now he is not president and therefore should stop issuing statements like the banning of export of scrap metal. He has no authority to do that as he is just one of the candidates. Why is he panicking and not wait patiently?
true, he has no authority and is showing how he still wants to cling on to power. he is not in charge of the nation at this moment..does not even understand our constitution yahba
What about the hundred of Zambians earning a living through scrap metal trading. Does the government have jobs for these people. This decision appears to have been made in favour of political allies at the expense of hundreds of people that will suffer or have their activities criminalised. The problem in this part of the world is that people make decisions alone without involvement of all the stakeholders. Overnight scrap-metal dealers will become criminals. This is ridiculous. I am pretty sure that there is an amicable solution out their if the stakeholders would sit together and find a solution.
I don’t understand.
Recently, concerned scrap metal dealers appealed to Government to lift the ban on the exports of scrap metal because the local buyers are paying little for it.
So if there was a ban, why is there a ban?

#17 he until a new one is sworn in, even him after elections he ceases to be but if has won, swearing in is just a mere academic exercise.
Yeah
I miss Mushota, through her blogs she used to signal to me wether she way ready to fu.ck me that day/night or not. Please come back on LT, using yo Mushota identity not the disguised one you’ve been using lately.
Last kicks of a dying horse.I bet that is his last ban.President Sata will come and review the whole thing.
The Chinese are to blame. Most of the metal produced in Zed is going to China…They bought the mines on the cheap and now are mking vast profits… MMD is history. DONCHI KUBEBA…
Good then maybe the foundry business (i.e. Scaw) can be revived in Zambia and create employment
RB thinks scrap metal is big deal to waste time on when he has allowed the Chinese to do anything they like in Zambia and also failed to fix the issue of windfall tax on the mines. You can see that he lacks education and moral aptitude. Why do we allow foreigners to continue ruling us. You can see how arrogant and uncaring RB is because he is not a Zambian. What a shame to us all for allowing such f**king ugly bum to rule intelligent Zambians all the way from Zimbabwe. Those monkeys he deported from State House should pee on him.
Is it that the banda brothers have found market for it in Joburg so want to monopolise?
