Maybe she has a pineapple somewhere where it is slightly uncomfortable.Well tbh it did strike me that she actually did look a bit less happy than usual in a lot of the footage if that's even possible.

Lukonde is the one I don’t trust. Sitting there, his shrunken head smirking all the time…. I reckon he’s as trustworthy as George Costanza, I’ll be the first to apologise if I’m wrong.

Yes it should be to do with us - the text in the screenshots most likely refers to the Battery Project and/or the Manono Lithium & Tin project - either way projects rely on the lithium from Manono.

I don’t think any of the Ministers have actually gone yet, just suggestions from interested parties. Last I read was Felix was thinking about it
@MoneyBags1348, Sama, the unsmiling assassin, is also on my list of departees but again, it depends on what one reads. Massive disinformation out there.
I saw an article that suggested Felix was in love with Zijin, then realised it was written by Zijin
Foxy, you sly old, your comments earlier today are music to my ears.
Xerof is on standby for next week, erect and wholly attentive

Well if you could screenshot the bit that says mining license approved and surface rights paid that would be lovely!

In case anyone missed this article on princess bitch face
It is a August 9 newspaper article.
The fact of the matter is that Bitch face is, according to the taped event, happily taking part in yesterday's, August 19, ministerial meeting.

Re our transport solutions which state:
“A due diligence study for the transport route options was conducted by the Australian based railway consultancy Infraology Pty Ltd (Infraology).
Four potential concentrate product transport routes were identified during the study. The Feasibility Study concluded to use two of these transport routes from Manono.
The first is to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania through Zambia, using the Tanzania and Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) rail. The TAZARA rail is equally owned by the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Zambia. The TAZARA railway will require upgrade and maintenance to reduce the frequency of derailments. The route includes 340 km of unsealed road to the DRC State owned SNCC rail allocated at Kabondo Dianda. From Kabondo Dianda there is 772 km of rail to Ndola (in Zambia) and then 165 km of rail to Kapiri Mposhi on the Zambian Railways Limited (ZRL) rail which is wholly owned by the Republic of Zambia. From Kapiri Mposhi to Dar es Salaam is 1,860 km on the TAZARA rail. The route has two border crossings between the DRC, Zambia, and Tanzania. Figure 5 shows the proposed transport route in red.”
The good news is in a recent article (9 August 2022) we see that the TAZARA Railway will get the needed upgrade:

TANZANIA and Zambia have agreed to upgrade the Tazara railway that connects the two countries as part of measures to improve bilateral ties.
The 1160km cross-border railway linking Kapiri-Mposhi in Zambia with the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania will now be upgraded to standard gauge through a partnership with the private sector and development partners.
Tanzania’s president, Ms Samia Suluhu Hassan, says the 1067mm gauge, single-track Tazara line does not deliver what is expected of it and an upgrade is needed to open up new business opportunities along the route.
“In today’s world, railway is standard gauge,” says Hassan. “So through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) we have agreed to come up with a project to improve the Tazara railway to that level.”
Tanzania is also constructing a 1219km standard-gauge line from Dar es Salaam to the city of Mwanza on the southern shores of Lake Victoria.
Known as the Tanzania Standard Gauge Railway, the system is being designed to link Tanzania with Rwanda and Uganda, and continuing to Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The work is included in the East African Railway Master Plan aimed at rejuvenating the region’s railways and increasing efficiency and speed while lowering transport of freight costs and furthering economic development. The railway will use electric power and transport of goods to Uganda from Mwanza will be by lake ferries.
As of April 2022, the 300km Phase 1 from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro had been completed while work on the 426km Phase 2 Morogoro – Makutopora, 294km Phase 3 Lot 1 Makutupora – Tabora, and 341km Phase 5 Isaka - Mwanza sections was in progress. Phase 5 is being built by China Civil Engineering Construction (CCEC) and China Railway Construction Company (CRCC).
In July 2022 Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC) signed a $US 900.1m contract with Yapi Merkezi for the construction of the 130km Phase 3 Lot 2 Tabora – Isaka section, along with its 35km of branches, the same company having previously won a $US 1.9bn contract for Phase 3 Lot 1.
TRC has also signed a contract with Korean national operator Korail to provide training In rail construction and operations following the line’s opening.
The first locomotives being used for testing of the electrified Phase 1 of the Tanzania SGR are former class 1014 locomotives purchased from Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB).

Even though the above is positive for DRC/ Tanzania relations & development in general, re-reading the communication I don’t think the road project from Dar es Salaam to DRC (via Burundi) is one of AVZ’s current proposed transport routes

Strategically Dar es Salaam port would be more time and cost effective for CATL instead of going through Lobito?

Ffs how did I get myself into talking to two of Der Giests ‘Characters’ on the bird. They, well he via two accounts is trying to play the Dathomir is legitimate claim because they bribed a local judge to win the case so it’s on RCCM so it must be true and my dads bigger than yours an he will beat up your dad easy so there and my mum said we didn’t land on the moon and the earth is flat and my mum is the cleverest person in the world so it’s definitely true and if you don’t think so you must be a dumb head.
I know I know but seriously that’s the idiocy they remind me of (clearly Der is an intelligent if troubled individual, but the other ‘character’ is clearly being obtuse)
Jesus Christ on a bike it’s Sunday an I’m conversing on social media with one person ‘playing’ two different characters ffs
