I’ve reported the fake Twitter account. As much as I wish it was real, if the real minister becomes aware of fake accounts fake endorsing AVZ it just doesn’t look good.

On the sidelines of the Indaba Mining Forum: Sama Lukonde reaffirms the DRC's determination to position itself in the manufacture of electric batteries
On the sidelines of the Indaba Mining investing Forum being held in Cape Town, South Africa, Prime Minister Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde answered questions from the press on Wednesday May 11, 2022.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he reaffirmed loud and clear the determination of the Democratic Republic of Congo to position itself, in Africa, in the production of electric batteries with regard to a large deposit of Lithium available to the Country.
“We have one of the largest deposits in the world in terms of lithium reserves. This is why we want to position ourselves in the manufacture of electronic batteries, and further, electric vehicles.
We said it when we had our Business Forum that from an economic point of view, we have all the competitiveness.
This means, labor that can be affordable.
We are aware of this that we must collaborate with other African countries to be able to achieve this.
We believe this is a regional issue.
From the moment we reduce the distances, and that we remain in balance with the other world producers, we will be able to meet this challenge.
I remain convinced that this is a process underway.
You saw us go to Zambia. You have seen us reaffirm this here at Indaba with other African countries,” said Prime Minister Sama Lukonde.
Recall that Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde was at the head of a strong government delegation to the Indaba Mining investing Forum where he had the opportunity to present the opportunities offered by the DRC in the mining sector and in the energy transition in the face of global warming.

The United States government’s initiatives to help address Africa’s power and growth gaps are increasingly hinging on boosting the continent’s ability to produce green energy and facilitate foreign investment, the Investing in Africa Mining Indaba heard this week.
The US undersecretary for economic growth, energy and the environment, Jose W. Fernandez, said any energy policy that warms our planet simply could not continue.
The US has singled out a more efficient electricity supply as one of its top foreign policy priorities for Africa.
This goes in parallel with the continent navigating a just and inclusive clean energy transition, leading to economic growth and prosperity; building robust, sustainable, and transparent supply chains for critical minerals in support of the clean energy transition; and improving the financial and regulatory environment in the sector and promoting transparent and accountable natural resource management.
Regarding US foreign policy, Fernandez said the US was not opposed to China investing in Africa as long as the investments were centred on upholding human rights, democracy, and creating jobs for locals, he told a press briefing.
“Our policy is not to ask our partners to choose between the US and the People’s Republic of China. We’re not doing that.
“We believe that we offer an alternative vision for economic development that more sustainably promotes democratic governance, respect for human rights, and transparency. And we keep talking about the word ‘sustainable,’ meaning more sustainably serving the long-term interests of the people here in Africa,” he said.
Fernandez continued: “I’m here because African countries are important partners in pursuing shared global and regional priorities – from ending the Covid-19 pandemic and building back to a more inclusive global economy to meeting the climate challenge and building resilience.
We are encouraged by seeing many African countries creating opportunities in clean energy, advancing democracy, promoting respect for human rights, and working toward lasting peace and security,” he said.
Fernandez emphasized that the US was not “in a race to the bottom” to undercut China and other investors by sacrificing standards in quality, safety, and wages. “Here in Africa, we propose to do it by creating a race to the top in terms of environmental, social, and governance,” he said.
“What African governments want is for all investments, including Chinese investments, to respect local laws and local interests, to follow human rights, including worker rights, and protection for the environment,” he said.
The US government underlined that successful business relationships need predictable regulatory and legal environments, whether private or public.
“Governments will need to enable investments through reforms, and companies will need to manage and pursue business plans that drive the energy transition while still taking on reasonable levels of risk themselves.”

It was released on May 6, 2022 by The Carter Center through its Extractive Industries Governance Program in the Democratic Republic of Congo, reports a press release from that organization.
This so-called “reference” Guide is intended to help stakeholders better conduct and manage the process of specifications in the mining sector of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Guide provides guidance and practical responses to the various operational challenges and limits of the regulatory framework concerning the negotiations, appraisal, execution and monitoring of the implementation of projects and infrastructures of Community interest agreed in the specifications.
“Stakeholders involved in the SOW process are encouraged to use this Guide to facilitate the negotiation, signing, effective execution and monitoring of SOW projects intended exclusively to benefit communities impacted by industrial mining activities. said Dhanis Rukan, co-editor of the Guide and Coordinator of the Human Rights and Local Impacts Department of The Carter Center’s Extractive Industries Governance Program.
It is also a tool for popularizing the legal and regulatory provisions relating to the specifications and encouraging mining operators subject to it to negotiate, sign and execute their specifications in favor of local communities. It was developed based on The Carter Center’s field experience in supporting civil society organizations, communities, and provincial and local authorities involved in the specification process.
It should be noted that the social responsibility specifications are one of three levers established by the revised mining code of March 2018 for the contribution of mining companies to the sustainable development of local populations.
It is both a developing agreement and a legal obligation for obtaining and maintaining the validity of the mining exploitation title or the authorization to exploit permanent quarries.

As a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization, The Carter Center has helped improve the lives of people in more than 80 countries by resolving conflicts, promoting democracy and human rights, fostering economic opportunities, preventing disease, and improving psychological health services.

The Carter Center publishes a Guide on implementing social responsibility specifications for mining companies-DRC

Twitter is Terrific, Cos that's the place to go to find our Bro / DRC / AVZ Champion Joe
I’ve been searching but can’t seem to find it.
AVZ never owned the 15% which has supposedly been sold to Zijin. It is not part of the 75%.
