The five victims were retrieved and buried at Mitengo Cemetery in Ndola.
“What remained was the closure of the matter, hence the final meeting held today after reaching an agreement with all stakeholders,” Matambo said.
Additionally, Matambo revealed that Macro Link Mine management and the Workers’ Compensation Fund Control Board have compensated each family with an undisclosed amount.
He also noted that the mine management had pledged to employ one person from each affected family to provide ongoing support.
“I urge you to remain united and share the resources as guided by the law to avoid conflicts within families and adhere to the laws of the land,” Matambo advised.
