By the way this is for the smart shareholders here.South Africa is sending 2,900 troops to the eastern part of the DRC and they will be deployed until Dec 15th 2024. This was announced Monday, Feb 12th, 2024. I believe they will go to Goma which is close to Rwanda border since that is where the trouble seems to always be. These troops are replacing the UN troops which have pulled out. The SADC force is supported by ALL the members and will have an OFFENSIVE MANDATE to support Congos army to fight armed groups.
Goma is over 1,600 km from Kolwesi and that is EXACTLY why we have NEVER had any issues there. People around our huge developments and around Kolwesi are very glad IVN is there since their standard of living has improved since we arrived since IVN not only employs people to work building and than running our plants, but they fully support the surrounding communities for all to benefit from what we do. What allows us to do that is the FANTASTIC GRADE and LOW COST, so we can share from the large cash flow that gives us. This way, EVERYONE WINS.
