ZCCM-IH To Scale-up its “Clean Water for Zambia” CSR Project

ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) will continue with the “Clean Water for Zambia” project this year by sinking 18 boreholes in remote areas of the country at a total cost of K1.2 million.

ZCCM-IH owes its continued existence, to the mining industry, where, at the moment, virtually all of its investments are held. As an investment company, majority-owned by Government on behalf of the Zambian people, we believe that our corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities are expected to spurn the entire country.

ZCCM-IH embarked on the “Clean Water for Zambia” project in 2016, focused on sinking a number of boreholes as its core sustainable social corporate investment. The boreholes were earmarked for remote areas of the country with little or no access to clean and safe water. So far, ZCCM-IH sunk two boreholes in Sinda District in two separate communities with approximately eight thousand community members in total.

With access to clean and safe drinking water, water borne diseases subside and living standards improve, among others. Safe and clean water will also greatly improve the health of mothers, infants and children and consequently reduce the maternal neonatal mortality rate in Zambia. There is also a visible correlation between improvement of girls’ education and access to safe clean water as well as the empowerment of women.

Women and girls move long distances to fetch water and end up using a lot of hours in a day on this activity when they could otherwise be engaged in other social economic activities that would improve their livelihoods such as income generating ventures or education.

This project is aimed at contributing to targets under the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number six which aims at “Ensuring access to water and sanitation for all”. Statistics indicate that more than one third of Zambia’s population does not have access to clean water.

ZCCM-IH | Audited abridged results to 31 March 2016

In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act No. 41 of 2016, ZCCM-IH Plc announces its audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016. Below are excepts from the results.

Commentary

  • Performance of the Group continued to be impacted by low global copper prices coupled with low production. The price of copper on the LME further fell from US$6,052/ton at 31 March 2015 to US$4,848/ton at 31 March 2016. As a result, most of the investee companies recorded significant operating losses during the period. Further, the Kwacha depreciated by 48% from K7.5755/US$ as at 31 March 2015 to K11.1800/US$ as at 31 March 2016. This had a significant impact on the Group results.
  • Operating loss reduced by 61% to K858 million (2015: K 2,179million). The Group’s share of losses of equity accounted investees was K2, 210 million (2015: Share of Profit K280 million).
  • Loss after tax was K2, 912million (2015: Loss K987million).
  • Total assets increased by 15% from K8, 504 million to K9, 797 million largely on account of translation differences on equity accounted investees.
  • The Ndola Lime recapitalization project is undergoing hot commissioning. The K651 million shareholder loan that ZCCM-IH lent to Ndola Lime Company Limited (NLC) was converted into Equity in order to strengthen the company’s balance sheet.

ZCCM-IH | Release of 2016 Annual report

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to share with you the performance of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) as a Company and that of its investee companies during the financial year ended 31 March 2016.

As ZCCM-IH’s investment is largely in the mining sector, the Company experienced low to static growth owing to the challenges faced by the mining sector in general. The mining sector was faced with a significant energy deficit which affected production negatively and consequently led to a reduction in revenues. The situation was further compounded by low commodity prices particularly copper due to increased supply on the market and reduced demand mainly in high copper consumer countries such as China. As a result of the foregoing, investment in the mining sector was reduced and mainly concentrated on consolidation of already existing operations…

Outlook

Beyond these current challenges, the underlying drivers of growth in Sub-Saharan Africa that have been in play domestically in the region over the past decade most importantly, the much improved business environment generally continue to be in place, and favorable demographics are poised to support these drivers over the coming decades. These will anchor medium-term growth prospects…

Appreciation

I express sincere gratitude to my fellow Board members, the immediate past Board members, the Management and Staff of ZCCM-IH for their dedication and commitment during the past year. I again extend my gratitude to the investee companies for their efforts and contributions during the year.
