#RDC #bradage to $33.4million #cominiere The responsibility of the Minister of the Portfolio is engaged insofar as without her agreement it would not have been possible to sell off the assets of Cominiere. She must answer for her actions in court.





I agree with @KasongoKas and ask the Honorable President of the Senate @PLukwebo to propose to PR05 another AFDC as Minister of Portfolio. No to the mediocre. Make way for the competent. May the PR05 free us from the incompetent and mediocre #Probite #Competence #Loyalty

Congolese journalist Mills Tshibangu detained overnight in defamation case​

April 7, 2023 2:45 PM EDT

Kinshasa, April 7, 2023—Congolese authorities should drop their criminal defamation investigation into journalist Mills Tshibangu and ensure he can work without fear of arrest or prosecution, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Friday.


On April 2, a group of about 12 police officers arrested Tshibangu, director of the privately owned online broadcaster Chat Television, while he was driving in Kinshasa, the capital, according to the journalist, who spoke to CPJ via messaging app, multiple tweets by local journalist Doux Jesus Beledu, and another local journalist familiar with the case, who spoke to CPJ on the condition of anonymity.

Authorities held Tshibangu in a cell at the local prosecutor’s office in Kinshasa and then released him on Monday, April 3, on orders to return to that office on Friday. At a hearing on Friday, his case was adjourned until April 14, he said.

Tshibangu’s arrest stemmed from a defamation complaint filed by Congolese Minister of Mines Antoinette Nsamba Kalambayi over his reporting on alleged corruption involving a lithium mine, the journalist said. If convicted of criminal defamation, Tshibangu could face up to one year in prison and a fine under Article 74 of the criminal code.

“Authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo should drop their investigation and legal harassment of journalist Mills Tshibangu in retaliation for his work,” said Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator, in New York. “Mining in the DRC is a topic of international and local interest, and authorities should ensure that reporting on alleged corruption in that industry is not criminalized.”

In a broadcast aired on July 20, 2022, Tshibangu discussed alleged corrupt and poor management of a local lithium mine and mentioned Nsamba by name, according to the journalist and a file of that broadcast, which CPJ reviewed and which is not available online. Alleged issues with that mine’s management were also reported by the ZoomEco news website.

Tshibangu told CPJ that he was never presented with an arrest warrant and that police officers confiscated US$200 in cash from him before taking him to the prosecutor’s office.

Tshibangu said that as part of his reporting on the mine, he had called Nsamba and her communications adviser for comment, but neither answered. CPJ also called Nsamba, but she did not answer.

Nsamba’s communications adviser, who gave her name as only “Claire,” told CPJ on Monday that she would call back to respond to questions but had not done so by the time of publication.

Where did this recording of Zijin and CKK discussing the secret 2m USD bonus come from?



A few people seem to think it was Zijin that released it as a warning to CKK but that makes no sense to me. Especially seeing as they continue to work together in the damages claim against AVZ. It had to be a third party that somehow obtained it imo

It was released in April but Franck Fwamba first mentioned it on January 2nd. Weeks after the MOU was signed. I doubt the DRC have a widespread dragnet surveillance program. But I know a country that does.

Ok so it's always bugged me that we've never had an English version of the CCK bribe tape. So I made one.

Translation is still a bit off but it's as close as I can get it after days of faffing around trying to get it right.

Youtube video is no good for twitter so there's also a direct download link you can save the raw file to your device of choice.
