What gets me uncomfortable and makes my gills buzz is this "date" we were given, followed by the same, "but remember this is Africa." and "If things work out for us."
It's been over a year and our BOD are still hoping and praying, that means nothing is sorted and agreed upon. Fucking hopes and prayers.
They can't manage in a year, to organize a date, not even 6 months after we are awarded the decree FOR the fucking thing.
It's not about the wild west of Africa, every country has it's way of doing things, its whether the BOD are capable of delivering the goods in said region.
But we are still hoping and praying. At least that's what it sounded like as I didn't attend the RS.
And the fact we still need to keep things hush hush this close to apparently getting the ML, tells me we aren't close to getting the fucking ML at all, still in negotiations, still being deliberated over, shh don't spoil things.
I really feel absolutely lied to, and I think a couple months back, other investors were straight up lied to. Remember the noise? Oh but remember, this is Africa. I'd bet heavily that when these people were told it was close (but remember it's africa), that it was a straight up lie.
Enough of that shit.
Sorry lads, it just shits me that it's been this long, how the fuck can it be this long after a ministerial decree, and apparently the boss of the government on our side of things?
If the AGM comes around and investors are still being told "soon, just around the corner, got a meeting next week, confident of a positive outcome.", well fuck me dead I for one would be throwing both my shoes at their faces, and I'd make sure I trod in every dog shit I could find before the meeting.
Sorry sorry I can't help but rant, I'm feeling incredibly frustrated.
Honestly though think about it...
If the ML was really going to be awarded on this apparent date, very soon, why the fuck would we need to be quiet about it. At this stage it would be a certainty if it was this close, the meeting scheduled, told to bring all relevant documents for signing.
