I'm still at a loss trying to imagine what is the point of a roadshow if we aren't moving forward, post mining licence.
Like what are they going to even talk about?
Why would they host a multi city roadshow event, with nothing to say?
The AGM is in a couple of weeks... So why go to all this trouble when they have the AGM platform so soon?
Anyone want to fill in the blank of what they're going to talk about, city to city, if we aren't moving forward post ML or post TO or something like that?
The Weather most likely and what the Fuck they're doing with that Crane i'd like to know
Apparently it Rains over there, just like here again today where it pissed down, as
Floods in Kinshasa: "this is a reflection of the weak sanitation policy", Fiston Ilangi (urban planner)
It has been several years since very heavy rain, the city of Kinshasa, a megalopolis of more than ten million inhabitants, has been under water.
Crossed by about twenty rivers, the city of Kinshasa is staring after each rain.
Dread and amazement, shock and fear. Superlatives become weak to describe the situation of the Congolese capital after the rain.
The rainy season has barely started when the megalopolis is already under water. After the torrential rain that fell all morning on Monday, October 24, "Kin la belle" stared at herself.
This state of affairs would be the consequence of an inefficient city sanitation policy.
This is what the town planner Fiston Ilangi told Media Congo Press.
The expert recalled that initially the city of Kinshasa had a business of 400,000 inhabitants. But today, we have a population size of around 15 million (hypothesis).
As the city is still dynamic, collective facilities (schools, hospitals, markets, etc.) as well as basic infrastructure (roads, various networks) should also follow this urban dynamism. Which is not the case, he regrets.
“It is a reflection of the disorder, the weak sanitation policy, the ungovernability of this city. In terms of urban planning, planning should precede occupation, but unfortunately in the city of Kinshasa, people occupy the sites upstream and planning comes after”, he laments.
“Urbanization per se no longer exists. I hardly see the importance of the Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing anymore because we can't understand what it is doing exactly in our country, "he continued.
Fiston Ilangi also deplored the fact that town planners are not involved in decision-making affecting their sector. “Our authorities do not listen to the experts.
They reflect only on the political aspects without any allusion to the technique. In the office of the Minister of Urban Planning, there is no urban planner as an advisor and the governor of the city of Kinshasa also has no urban planner in his office.
In addition, the Presidency of the Republic should have town planners, the Ministers of Infrastructure and Public Works, Land Affairs are unfortunately not surrounded by politicians”, he regrets.
To solve the problem of floods facing the city of Kinshasa, he pleads for the implementation of the new urbanization plan for the city of Kinshasa, which has existed since 2015, but also and above all for the people of Kinshasa to show Urban and ecological culture.
