Location of Lufwanyama town and district in Copperbelt Province, Zambia

Lufwanyama is a small town in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, and is headquarters of an administrative district of the same name. Despite being only 60 km west of the most urban and industrialised part of the country, the mining cities of the Copperbelt, Lufwanyama is undeveloped and lacks infrastructure such as electricity, all-weather roads and hospitals. In fact the location of the town is not certain (the coordinates shown are an estimate) as it does not appear on the maps of Zambia which are generally available, but is presumed to lie close to the Lufwanyama River which flows from north to south about 65 km west of Kitwe and enters the Kafue River.

[edit] Lufwanyama District

Lufwanyama District is a large rural undeveloped district in the west of Copperbelt Province. On a number of maps it is mixed up with Mpongwe District and Masaiti Districts. At one time these three districts were known as 'Ndola Rural'.
