I had a really great flat in Luanshya, located on the grounds of the Technical Institute. When travelling throughout East and Central Africa, we stayed with our vast network of fellow volunteers and got to sample everything at the local level. Luanshya was a very attractive and well laid-out mining town. It was home to the Roan Antelope Mine, where copper was first discovered in Central Africa, leading to the development of major mines in both Zambia and Zaire. The mine got its name because a hunter who took a shot at a Roan Antelope in the 1920s missed and hit a rock instead. Upon examination of the rock, he noticed that there seemed to be mineral 'colours' indicative of possible mining opportunities. The rest is history!
