CDM pollution in Lubumbashi: one year later, NGOs demand Louis Watum Kabamba’s questioning over lenient handling of the disaster

One year after more than 2.5 million cubic metres of leachate spilled into Lubumbashi’s Kasapa, Kamatete and Kamisepe neighborhoods, residents and five NGOs are demanding justice and compensation. In a joint statement, Meda Mapendo, Horizon Kasapa, VADDIPER, AJD and IRDH accuse Congo Dongfang International Mining (CDM) of failing to carry out measures ordered after an interministerial investigation.
