Kabwe is the capital of Zambia's Central Province, located about 130 kilometers north of the capital, Lusaka, on the country's central plateau at an altitude of about 1,200 meters above sea level. As an important mining and transportation hub in Zambia, Kabwe is the historical center of lead and zinc mining in the country, and its name means "ore" in the local language.
Founded in 1902 after the discovery of large lead and zinc deposits, Kabwe has long been at the heart of Zambia's mining industry. Although the mining industry has declined in recent years, lead and zinc smelting, cement production and agro-processing remain the mainstays of the economy. The city retains much of its colonial architecture and has one of the oldest golf courses in Zambia.
With a population of about 300,000, Kabwe is an important educational center in Zambia, with several technical colleges and secondary schools. The city faces environmental challenges such as lead pollution, but is advancing environmental governance through cooperation between the government and international organizations. Kabwe continues to play an important role in Zambia's domestic trade as a major transportation link between the north and south.
