LAFARGE Zambia has announced the reduction of the price of cement between 5 to 10%.
According to a statement issued in Lusaka by Sarah Banda-Ortiz-Corporate Affairs and Communications Manager, the decision to reduce the price is attributed to the recent appreciation of the Kwacha against major currencies as well as the positive outlook of national economic growth.
