Here’s a report on the corruption of Felix Tshisekedi from June this year

High levels of corruption crumbling Tshisekedi regime​

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) stands out as one of the most corrupt and poor countries worldwide. President Felix Tshisekedi’s family and inner circle are embezzling national resources while the Congolese suffer from hunger and poor infrastructure in all aspects of life.

Congolese Minister of Justice Constant Mutamba is now one of the targets of the very system he oversees. He is under investigation for embezzlement and public funds mismanagement.

A request for investigation was made by the Attorney General to the National Assembly to launch a judicial investigation on Mutamba, who is accused of embezzling USD 39 million intended for the construction of a prison in Kisangani, Tshopo province.

“The National Assembly has authorized the Attorney General of the Court of Cassation to initiate legal proceedings against the Minister of Justice. He was forced to submit his resignation to Prime Minister Judith Suminwa,” said a source from Kinshasa.

For the minister of justice to be subjected to prosecution, the National Assembly was required to lift his immunity. It is unclear whether Tshisekedi will allow fair legal proceedings against Mutamba’s crimes, as the latter has been the president’s preferred proxy.

Tshisekedi had shielded his special strategic advisor, Vidiye Tshimanga, in September 2022, after leaked videos went viral showing Tshimanga offering unlimited access to DRC’s minerals in exchange for bribes, including shares in the companies and underhand paybacks, for himself and the president.

Former Minister of Finance, Nicolas Kazadi, a close confidant of Tshisekedi, has been linked to a scandal regarding the misappropriation of millions of US dollars.

Since Tshisekedi’s maneuvers to mask corruption scandals tied to his inner circle are not anything new, Kazadi discreetly left DRC in June 2024 for France through arrangements made from the President’s Office.

Kazadi has never been subject to any arrest warrant, and his case has remained dormant.

On May 20, the former Prime Minister who turned opposition leader - Matata Ponyo - was sentenced to 10 years of forced labor after he was convicted by the Constitutional Court of involvement in the embezzlement of approximately USD 245 million in state funds.

Matata’s accomplices, such as former Central Bank Governor Deogratias Mutombo and South African businessman Christo Grobler were sentenced to five years in prison.

Corruption and embezzlement are longstanding issues in the DRC, but Tshisekedi’s regime made the situation worse than ever.

Tshisekedi’s regime is increasingly crumbling over corruption and embezzlement scandals, in addition to the escalating armed conflict in eastern DRC where AFC/M23 rebels control swathes of territory in the Kivus.

The 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ranked DRC 163 out of 180 countries, with a score of 20 out of 100, indicating a high level of perceived public sector corruption. The report perceived DRC as one of the least effective countries in controlling public-sector corruption.

URGENT! Congolese defense associations and four former directors of Gécamines have filed a complaint against 9 members of the family of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix #Tshisekedi, for the plundering of minerals in the provinces of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba, before the Belgian justice system, targeting nine members of the family of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi, for the looting of mining sites in the provinces of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba.

These 9 members of the Tshisekedi presidential clan (sister-in-law, son, brothers, cousins, and even the country's first lady), presented as "co-authors and accomplices of acts of corruption" during the plundering of mining sites. The complaint has been submitted to Federal Prosecutor Ann Fransen by lawyers Bernard and Brieuc Maingain. The 9 accused are all Belgian citizens and can be prosecuted by the Belgian justice system. "Other complaints may be filed soon in other countries from which other looters of our wealth originate," explains one of the plaintiffs. Kiki #Kienge

Among the NGOs that filed a complaint against the 9 members of the Tshisekedi family for the plundering of Katanga's mines is the "Platform for the Promotion and Defense of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in the DRC (DESC/DRC)," cited by several sources. In 2024, three Katangese organizations united under the banner "The Children of Katanga" had already raised concerns about the Tshisekedi family's control over Gécamines basins in Kolwezi, notably accusing the president's wife, Denise #Nyakeru Tshisekedi.

Penny Who?

Red Penny, Australia's number one China apologist.

 

[FatCatz]

Remember when we all celebrated Felix getting into power after his “show me corruption and I’ll sort it out” mantra? I think the whole continent is so fixated on getting what they “deserve” at the expense of their own people.

I saw a few clips of promoters of corruption in Africa saying corruption is only bad if they aren’t part of it.

Going forward I will NEVER invest in Africa again. Even if there is the next Manono.

USA will make sure the right hands are greased but it will be a different sort of greasing compared to the Chinese. IMO. Expect a few grants, aid, and developmental contracts to be signed with companies close to whatever corrupt actor has the power to get things signed ed and sealed. Pathetic continent really.

 

[yaseenmeoncebefore]

Get absolutely fucked you fucking idiot

Yeah nti joined 2023 posted fuck all/nothing in over two years and comes out in the first post like a fucking real concerned entitled fucking shareholder with issues about what we’ve been sharing here for fucking years

Get fucked

One of your sleepers most likely

Give us a break you dick

Fuck me you planted sleepers galore in 2022 on these threads….multi nics just sitting there to do what???…..what sort of twisted cunt does that???

Someone with a history and bent for absolute fucking trolling

What a douche

And then you spam and create multiple fakes in recent times to subvert admin rules and delete genuine threads

You fuck

And then go further and create fake accounts and profiles on other platforms pretending to be someone else doxxing people and posting the most vile racist shit anyone could imagine trying to discredit real people

Just get fucked….get fucked

No one else here is doing that shit but you

YOU are the problem here and the fucking root cause of shit and have been banned from other platforms for EXACTLY the same reasons

So stop projecting and continually playing the fucking victim you fucking arse

Pick up your emotional, political, religious and vindictive fucking baggage and JUST FUCK OFF!

Narcissistic cunt

Another post whinging about deleted threads?

I openly said, if you delete mine, i'll delete yours. Then the gimp group deleted mine.

Which part of that is hard to understand? Which part is hard to grasp?

There is nothing anyone can tell me to convince me that the gimp boys are just a bit slower than average. There is a much deeper mental impairment at play here.

Back to the "only trolls", gimp mental health thread you go.

Rehashing all this corruption and family stuff is completely unhelpful and pointless at this stage of the game. Yet you persist, despite Nigel's request to refrain from such behaviour.

Unless you're doing it for personal therapy then fair enough, but at least keep it in your private club. Thanks.

Well it seems it's all stalled again.
Kagame has infiltrated talks and there is quite a hurdle to overcome before any money exchanges hands between AVZ and the successful party, IF AT ALL..
That's right.. it's back to the drawing board from face value, hopefully I'm wrong.
For those following the various X posts about prices being bantered around on what it's all worth versus what we'll be compensated for, there's a method to the madness.. At the moment, it's cents on the dollar and the chances of going higher is difficult to navigate.
The ICSID path although the correct way forward, won't extract any better value that what it's legitimately worth. There's no way the DRC can or will pay it. If Kobold don't end up buying it and the peace talks fall over, some other country is coming under the table ready to go.
My other concern is the recent public language used by CAMI about retracting of mining rights being issued. Wonder if the weasels will work out a way to screw around with Manono, it's tailings and the surrounding exploration licenses...

Aug 21 is still critical.
What a shitshow

Yeh kobolds fucked us that's for sure. GLTAH!

 

[Bonsoir]

Yeh kobolds fucked us that's for sure. GLTAH!

All kobold has done is hoodwink AVZ into suspending Arbitration, kobold got their little jar of money for the offer and AVZ told them to fuck off after all kobold are no bigger than a corner store takeaway who got lucky with that lying corrupt fat cunt Felix.

However if this goes arse up Felix will be hearing the marching boots of M23 coming down the road, hope they tear him to pieces.

 

[Anchorman]

Looks like REALITY has finely come to notice...imo
Nigel will stuff this matter or DEAL up also...imo

You cant BLUFF the DRC...imo

Reality isn't what it SEEMS here…!
Nigel has pushed this further than ANYONE thought possible…imo
This matter is not up the CREEK but LINING UP…!
NAVIGATING the DRC… thats what is happening…! imo..!!

Hey @Goat, when you say "Kagame has infiltrated talks and there is quite a hurdle to overcome" do you mean the security talks or the minerals (i.e. Manono) talks?

 

[Anchorman]

Maybe you should take more NOTICE of NIGEL requests..!

AVZ is aware of social media commentary about the Manono Project that is critical of the DRC Government and some of its officials. AVZ appreciates that its shareholders are frustrated with the disruption in relation to the development of the Manono Project and the impact it has had on their investment.
"""" However, any disrespectful commentary is not supported or condoned by AVZ. """""""""

Take NOTICE of NIGELs requests…!
AVZ sees the chatte and understands the FRUSTRATION, but RESPECT is key…!
FINE to be critical but Disrespect is NOT ON…imo!
Let the BOARD do their JOB… imo..!!

 

[Goat]

Hey @Goat, when you say "Kagame has infiltrated talks and there is quite a hurdle to overcome" do you mean the security talks or the minerals (i.e. Manono) talks?

Kagame has publicy proclaimed his objection to the sanctions and the US involvement in peace talks. Nothing to do with security for minerals, however he is obviously ticked off that the US will flex their power in the current situation.

Minerals are ALWAYS in the mix… CONTROL and LEVERAGE rule the game…!
US flexing is HIGH STAKES STRATEGY in full swing… not theatre imo..!!
CHINA stepping in SMART, playing the long game, backing AVZ where it counts… imo..!!

 

[Anchorman]

At what COSTS to AVZ S H ...!...imo
Remember NIGEL receives MASSIVE WAGES, and AVZ investment money has gone where over 3 years..!...imo

COSTS are part of the GAME…!
Nigel gets PAID for moves has SHAPING the PATHWAY to VALUE… the 3 years are FOUNDATION… imo..!!

How about you actually read the CONTENT you complete fuckwit. The posts have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with AVZ or the DRC

What a shitshow

"Kagame has infiltrated talks" - He's integral to the talks. He's the fucking President of one of the countries in dispute. Not exactly news.

That he is objecting to things is part of any negotiating process, as is jawboning to the media.

"The ICSID path although the correct way forward, won't extract any better value that what it's legitimately worth." - I'm quite happy to be paid what it is legitimately worth. What that amount is, is the question. AVZ have put forward their thinking in the ICSID claims.

"My other concern is the recent public language used by CAMI about retracting of mining rights being issued." - Like they've done before multiple times before and after the shitshow started? Business as usual.

What a nothing burger.
