The presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia have vowed to resolve customs delays for trucks transporting copper from the two top producers in Africa. Angry truck drivers call for customs to speed up clearances at the border after a meeting this month among officials from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia. Peter Mumba is president of the United Truck Drivers and Allied Workers Union of Zambia. The DRC is also suffering from the border congestion, says its vice consul, Nkulu Ndala, in Ndola, Zambia. He estimates both Zambia and the DRC are losing more than half a million dollars per month from the border delays.
