Chilekwa Mumba from Zambia is one of this year’s Goldman Environmental Prize winners. He has been awarded for winning a six-year battle against a mining company accused of polluting the Kafue River in Zambia. Residents previously relied on the river for drinking and crop and livestock irrigation. His victory in the UK Supreme Court set a legal precedent—it was the first time an English court ruled that a British company could be held liable for the environmental damage caused by subsidiary-run operations in another country. He speaks to Esau Williams about his journey for justice and what this award means to him.
