Two Lusaka men have appeared before the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court over an alleged attempt to steal copper cathodes valued at US$30,000, property of Kansanshi Copper Mine PLC.
Patrick Mamune and 33-year-old Kennedy Kabangu are also facing charges for allegedly attempting to steal a Scania truck worth US$125,000, reportedly owned by Zalawi Company Limited.
