Kabeta Calls For Stronger Partnerships In Mining Sector

Mines and Minerals Development Permanent Secretary Dr Hapenga Kabeta has called for stronger partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders in the mining sector to unlock the full potential of Zambia’s mining industry.

Speaking during the pre-Zambia Mining and Investment Insaka (ZAMII) golf tournament held at Lusaka Golf Club, Dr Kabeta said the event provided an important platform for building relationships ahead of the forthcoming ZAMII Insaka.

Dr Kabeta said the golf tournament was part of broader stakeholder engagements aimed at preparing participants for the Insaka, where key priorities, challenges and opportunities in the mining sector would be discussed. He also emphasized the importance of preserving the name Insaka, explaining that it carries cultural significance as a gathering place where people exchange ideas, share perspectives and find common ground.

He said although the golf tournament brought stakeholders together through sport, its broader purpose was to foster relationships and advance shared interests in the mining industry. Dr Kabeta urged stakeholders to use such engagements to identify opportunities and address challenges affecting the sector, stressing that collective efforts were essential to unlocking Zambia’s mining potential.
