Zijin’s poisoned legacy

A toxic spill last year blackened the name of Chinese metals giant Zijin Mining. But, in Fujian, its broken promises and environmental failures have a longer history, writes Yang Chuanmin, joint winner of the in-depth reporting category at the 2011 China Environmental Press Awards.

Lualaba: Between hope and despair of the victims to relocate after the damage of the Zijin Mining Group project​

The years go by and look alike. The inhabitants of the Gécamines district, located a few meters from the city of Kolwezi, Lualaba province, no longer know which Saint to devote themselves to. They have been living in the impasse for five years now. The promise of relocation, made by the managers of the cuprifer company COMMUS as a rea sus of a common ground already found in 2019 between the protagonists, is struggling to take shape.

Impacted by the COMMUS project, a subsidiary of the Chinese giant Zijin Mining Group, local communities are still waiting for the fallout of the said compromise, including the remission of funds in exchange for departures for another city such as Patrick Ilunga, the company's lawyer, revealed in December 2023 at the microphone of The China Global South Project, an independent non-profit multimedia organization dedicated to exploring all aspects of China's commitment to Africa. "We are going to build Tshabula 2, although several occupants of Tshabula or all want to receive money as compensation," he observed. This is also what the Village Chief herself confirms: "Everyone will have their money and we will go build our new village". But until then, it seems that the saying that the promise only commits the one who believes in it, finds its meaning here.

Although the company had committed to compensating the victims of mining operations up to $25,000 to $100,000 depending on the value of the goods contained in the plot, nothing seems to be done so far, the communities interviewed by one of local media regret.

According to one of the inhabitants of the Gécamines Musonoie city, since COMMUS identified the victims impacted by its project, the mining company has not returned to the communities. In the meantime, residents continue to "pay the heavy toll" orchestrated by the company, in particular by COMMUS mining operations. Houses cracked by explosive devices, roofs washed away, air polluted and many other damages.

"Since 2019, we have been identified by the company COMMUS to be relocated. I don't know what the authorities are looking for. Our houses are in a very advanced state of dilapidation. It is a permanent danger because of COMMUS. We are really tired. This tree you see in front of my door is the witness of the event, "said one of the residents on condition of anonymity.

The Gecamines city was created around the 1940s. And it is for the housing of GECAMINES employees, a company in the portfolio of the Congolese State. The mine located there, with an annual production of 120,000 tons of copper and 3,000 tons of cobalt, is majority owned by the Chinese group Zijin Mining Group.

I gave you two thumbs-up for your great timeline, but subtracted one for responding to that human haemorrhoid.
You're still up one thumb.

Certain posters love to SUPPORT MAGA...!!..:rolleyes:
The 100 page ESSAY poster...lmao
All imo..!!!
 
Those of us still on HC have to read all the replies to the useless fool already, ad naseum. Let's try not bring that mentality over here. Just ignore him
Quoting Lenny directly in the reply was against what I promised when pulled up for it earlier, so sorry Roon.

Respect your understanding of AVZ’s situation & value your input over the years, even if your mood does sometimes edge towards that of HC’s Rattlerock.

Wish I’d found this place first, but I started at HC after most of the TSE posters had fled, & didn’t think I had the time or smarts to add anything worthwhile here - everything I was thinking was already being posted here.

It’s been a battle over there fighting anti-AVZers with only a handful of decent HC exclusive posters & a few guns from here, but since the private thread was set up & most abandoned the 2022 thread, this place is even worse than the crapper.

I’ve seen the majority here bemoan the demise of this thread, & I agree wholeheartedly. Lenny is running wild, he is a rolled gold village idiot who is annoyingly persistent. In my dealings with Lenny on the crapper, the only time he seems to let up is when he cops a real good serve - he really is as weak-gutted & cowardly as depicted in the iconic AGM shot where Deboss had him pissing his pants.

Letting him run amok hasn’t seen him piss off from here yet, so I reckon there’s nothing to lose sending an intense barrage his way, at least while we’re in this holding pattern news-wise.

WOW How PATHETIC are some getting spreading FALS or FAKE INFO..IMO

Are you talking about MR D that lasted about a WEEK as a AVOCATE for AVZ...LMAO
The true facts are, nothing REALLY HAPPENED
But some like spreading HEARSAY episodes....imo
Why doesn't the hearsay info, include what was said """"not included""""...LMAO....;)

Settle Lenny, no hearsay, photo evidence has you all but getting raped by Deboss while you sat there clueless pissing your pants on your stool at the AGM. FUCKING CLASSIC!

But happy days Lenny, you must’ve jagged a school excursion gig to be just off the school bus so late on a Saturday.

Aside from that, I deal with folks daily whose first language is not English, but your piss-poor take on my native tongue is way beyond even my advanced code-cracking skills. I ain’t good enough to even make a guess as to what you’re trying to say with your word salad slop. I have pointed people in the right direction before, so please sing out if you’d like me to get you advanced enrolment with the reading/writing hotline crew - 1300 655506 - I know people.

But seriously you poor simple bastard, come back for a chat when you can structure a sentence anywhere near to what I can recognise as Engrish.

If it can’t be done, maybe try your hand chatting with the frenchies on X. I know I’m wasting ink, so all the best you useless fuckstick.

Just checked and noted that the 2024 AGM was on 27-Nov. I was hopting that the next AGM would be sooner than late November so that questions can be asked in person. However, I imagine that the next major news will be delivered well before late November 2025.
