Kwacha strengthens as dollar rally pauses

Zambia's kwacha firmed on Wednesday as the dollar paused its recent rally, helping to soothe the currency of Africa's number two copper producer after the metal's price hit a six-year low.

By 0905 GMT, the kwacha had gained 6.02 percent to 11.7200 per dollar, its firmest level in nearly a week.
