Toilet, all you do is regurgitate the same things over and over. You can’t even put a full sentence together in your own words.
Everyone knows you sold your shares, you posted it on the crapper, and now you just want to whine and undermine all the shareholders who support AVZ.
You’re the biggest loser here, you know it and we know it and now all you do is cry out for attention like a toddler who’s been taken off his mummy’s breast.
If you like things that were reported years ago, you might like reading these reports on Zijin Mining’s violations in countries around the world

Mines
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.
