Copperbelt
The Copperbelt Province is situated in Northern Zambia, a region which is very rich in minerals. It was the backbone of the Northern Rhodesian economy during British colonial rule, but its economic importance was severely damaged by a crash in global copper prices in 1973 and the nationalization of the copper mines by the government of Kenneth Kaunda.| Tap on the map to travel |
