Fish has been found dead in the Kafue River a day after acidic mine effluent from Sino Metal Tailings Dam spilled into the Mwambashi Stream and nearby farming fields in Chambishi, Kalulushi.
The Mwambashi Stream follows into the Kafue River.
Fish was found floating in the Kafue River near Bulangililo and Ipusukilo areas in Kitwe.
The Kafue River is the main source of water for Nkana Water Supply and Sanitation Company which services Kitwe and Kalulushi Districts.
