Transformation: Zambia, Campaigning for tax (2of4)

Part 2 of 4 in the transformation series. 75% of Zambia's income comes from the copper industry. However, when the price of copper crashed the government privatised the copper mines in order to pay off debt. Attracted by low taxes, the mines were bought up by Western companies.
Though the price of copper has since risen again, taxes have remained very low. This has caused people to campaign for a fairer share of the profits from copper, a campaign supported by Christian Aid.
