The ban on metal exports has been lifted
after 2 days of its imposition.
Mines Permanent Secretary, Godwin Beene has
confirmed the development.
The ban had been imposed following a
Presidential order that al exports will have to be approved by the Bank of Zambia.
The order was meant to facilitate the
resolving of irregularities and to formulate new export guidelines as well as
increasing transparency.
Last week when issuing the order, President
Michael Sata made the order in a perceived move to have state oversight on the
mining sector, which is heavily operated by foreign companies.
