Almost half of the over 2000 victims of the 2015 pollution case blamed on Konkola Copper Mines in Chingola have started receiving compensation packages from mine owners Vedanta Mineral Resources.

Those receiving belong to the southern part of the area affected by the pollution. These include Shimulala, Hellen, and Hippo Pool and were represented by United Kingdom based law firm Leigh Day.
Those from the northern part that comprise of Fitobaula, Fikolongo and Kamuchanga are yet to be compensated because the law firm representing them Hausfeld is yet to conclude out of court settlement talks with Vedanta.
Scottish Tories ask voters to back them this one time to stop Indyref2 DOUGLAS Ross has urged people who have never Tory before to lend the party their vote to stop a second independence referendum. The Scottish Tory leader urged pro-UK voters to back his party “in the national interest” and put the economic recovery from the pandemic ahead of another constitutional fight which would “wreck” it. Launching his party’s manifesto in Glasgow, he appealed for list votes from people “even if you have never thought of yourself as a Conservative or have never voted for us before”. He said Labour was “unwilling and unable to stand up to the Nationalists”, while the Liberal Democrats wished the issue would go away.
