Mulungushi Dam

The Mulungushi Dam located 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Kabwe, Zambia, was constructed by the Broken Hill Development Company on the Mulungushi River and opened in 1925 by the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VIII) to provide hydroelectric power to the Broken Hill Mine in Kabwe (known as Broken Hill at that time).

The manmade lake created by the Mulungushi Dam is approximately 20 km (12 mi) long and 2–3 km (1.2–1.9 mi) wide and is home to the Mulungushi Boat Club (MBC) and a local fishing competition.

The MBC was started by a band of watersport enthusiasts in the late 1940s and the first clubhouse was the present boat shed.

In the 1960s and 1970s the MBC was a popular weekend retreat for both mine employees and Broken Hill residents with regattas held every year.

During the 1970s and early 1980s the club was a hive of activity with fishing competitions, national regattas and parasailing.
