Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bwana Mkubwa (or Bwana M'kubwa; meaning big chief ; or great master ) is a settlement and a mine in Copperbelt Province, Zambia. It is the oldest mine in Zambia's Copperbelt region. As a settlement with no municipal status, it became a locale due to the abundant copper deposits found in the area. Several versions of the origin of the name have been given. Mostly likely, William Collier and Jack Donohoe, who were led to the ancient workings, named the mining area Bwana Mkubwa after Francis Enilius Fletcher Jones, Native Commissioner, who was known to the locals as the 'Bwana Mkubwa'. Bwana Mkubwa is located at the southern extension of the Zambian Copperbelt, near the Kafue River, east of the T3 Highway. The city centre of Ndola is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the northwest. It is in the Bwana Mkubwa Protected Forest Area at an elevation of 1,373 metres (4,505 ft).
