That's not concrete, it's cheap cement. It'll give.

We've got lots of people, pollution, cars, concrete, lots of concrete.

It was further alleged that Chilanga Cement had been suppressing the local supply of cement in order to raise prices.

A seminar organized with the Suez Cement Company at Cairo, Egypt, discussed cleaner production in the cement industry.

As Farid puts it in a documentary they filmed, Dalmia is a low income neighborhood sandwiched an abandoned cement factory and a naval base .

The cement market in Zambia is virtually 100 per cent controlled by the monopoly undertaking Chilanga Cement, which is part of the Lafarge Group.

Chilanga Cement appeared to be engaged in production and pricing strategies that made Zambian export cement less competitive compared with the cement from its plant in Mbeya, (United Republic of Tanzania).

The Commission advocated increased imports of cement, notably from Zimbabwe (owing to lower logistical costs compared with South Africa), in order to curb this likely abuse of market power by Chilanga Cement.

The Commission's investigation pointed to the fact that Chilanga Cement wanted to divide the regional market (market allocation and territorial restrictions), whereby Zambian exports would be targeted to the DRC, while the Burundi and Rwandese markets were to be supplied from its Tanzanian plant.

Between 2002 and 2003, Chilanga Cement engaged in activities that appeared to be preventing, restricting and distorting the production and marketing of cement from Zambia to the traditional export markets for Zambian cement, which it now controlled in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi and Rwanda (the Great Lakes Region).
