The Sacrifice Zone: Zambia's most polluted town | People & Power Documentary
Around the world, tens of millions of people live in so-called “sacrifice zones”, areas which have become permanently impaired by environmental degradation, mostly due to pollution from heavy industry. One of the worst such sacrifice zones is in Kabwe, Zambia.
Here, 220,000 residents live close to an old lead and zinc mine which operated for…

Looking at comments focused on whether Kabwe is a city or not makes me think the lead poisoning has gone further than Kabwe. Focus people – you are at the wrong funeral.
Kudos to UPND for beginning to do something but thats not enough. We voted for them because we wanted more accountability. Dont say poor civil service delivery when you are in control.
Very sad story!! These mining companies must be watched for some of these negative environmental impacts
Eaerth guardians enviromental literacy initiative for Zambia is looking into the facts
Kabwe is not the second largest city in Zambia, it's not even a city. Make sure you report correct Information on public media
It's a small settlement please not even a town WTH
My Zambian people 😅😅
Forcusing on the size of the city the lead poisoning is not important at all..
Kuti wapapa😅
Who really cares about Kabwe being a city or not we should be concerned about the Lead crisis
Of how tragic this story is and also how informative it is – I honestly did not know this goes on in Kabwe, There is still shallow minds discussing how Kabwe is not the 2nd largest city – I pitty dumbassess
Thank you so much for this eye opening documentary. I hope we will take this with seriousness it deserves as Zambians.
Fake❗
Forget the description of Kabwe, pay attention to the necessary details. What makes information necessary? How helpful the information is/maybe…
The city status does not matter. What matters is the pollution
This is terribly sad
Whoever made this documentary is a fool, is kabwe a city? Is it even a 2nd city in Zambia foolish?
ICC..Canada Zambian citizen initiate petition
Violation!!!
Kabwe being compared to chenobyl 😢 yet people still live in the polluted area……OMG!!!!
Damage has been done
It's funny how we are missing the real point of the documentary. Forget about the city status of Kabwe and focus on the lead poisoning-that is the significance of the documentary and we as citizens should applaud the efforts being put in ensuring lives especially of the young ones are preserved by having those responsible pay the Compensation to enable the affected get proper medical help. And by the way those of you arguing the size of Kabwe do research and compare the town to others in terms of the radius each town you are proposing has in comparison to Kabwe. That being said Lead poisoning is killing the future of Kabwe therefore all efforts to bring them to book must be supported. Thank you
These are the only type of documentaries you can get the from western media houses never anything positive! Not denying whats going on but i hate how they push such agendas
Kabwe is not even the fifth largest City/Municipality in Zambia.
Kabwe is not Zambia's second largest city.
The Reporter can do better , learn to research.
The fact that these guys called Kabwe Zambias second largest city just makes me question the credibility of their reporting on everything. A simple Google search would have saved them this embarrassment
Zambians are busy arguing about Kabwe being 2rd city in the country and missing the point. Unless nga ni yomaps and the wife or ben lombe and the friend. This is serious and it should be a wake-up call for the government to take action.
Lead exposure can damage the brain and central nervous system, causing neurological disorders like:
Mental retardation, Behavioral problems, Nerve damage, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Schizophrenia. Serious solutions are needed mu chalo chesu

Thank you for raising awareness of this.
Hopefully this pollution will be dealt with
Thank you Aljazeera for this documentary.
How can the goverment buy defective lead test kits? This is mismanagement of the government.
Though, they say medication expired, I am sure no medication were bought with the first place.
