On the subject of Mills Tshibangu. Ronny Ngale who is the journalist who interviewed Tshibangu on YouTube responded to me.
Ronny previously believed some of Tshibangu’s lies but now has a better understanding of what’s really going on. He previously questioned this reply that August Cohen sent him but now is supportive of AVZ

Hello again, brother Ngale. I do understand Lingala. But I wouldn't say I'm a fluent speaker just yet. That said, and putting aside the commentary on DRC, the press, the Constitutional revisions and other matters, what is said about
$AVZ here is misleading.
Here are the issues:
1. The speaker is clearly biased as he presents AVZ as the bad guy that is corrupting DRC's politicians. The Manono Dispute is not binary- its very complex and no side in the dispute are Angels.
2. The speaker also completely avoids the ownership disputes at the heart of the dispute- which is critically important context viewers need to fully understand the Manono Dispute.
3. The speaker fails to mention the others players in this dispute- particularly, DRC officials in the Ministry of Mines, DRC executives at state owned Cominiere, politicians like Senator
@GuyLoando_ and former President Kabila, the Chinese miner Zijin, and the Chinese and Congolese who own Dathomir.
In otherwards, he's only singling out
@AVZMinYianni which presents a misleading portrait of this dispute. To be clear, as a supporter of the Congolese and their young democracy, I'm very happy to see new media companies like Chat Television (CT) highlight and discuss important issues and in an African language using platforms Congolese can access via their mobile phones. But to do good journalism, CT should have had someone on this show that can speak for AVZ or do another show that allows AVZ's perspective to be heard by viewers.
I hope CT's managers will provide
@AvzMinerals the opportunity to tell its side of the story so that Congolese who trust CT's news and commentary get a full picture of the Manono Dispute.
Here's CT's Youtube page:

This is Chadrack Ngoy (who says he’s a lawyer and expert in criminal law) and is the person who posted Tshibangu’s lies

Replying to @drackNgoy4
@Tshibangu_Mills is a liar and you are spreading his lies. The truth is easy to prove which is why AVZ is winning all cases in the @iccwbo and @icsid courts of arbitration and why the DRC has been ordered to reinstate AVZ mining permit and Cominiere ordered to pay penalties
Then this tweet to Ronny

Sorry for repeating those AVZ announcements but the point is that a little persistence can help the company and the shareholders on X are doing a great job supporting our company. Here’s the response from Ronny (the DRC journalist who interviewed Tshibangu) He liked the other responses too
