Can all media reports in the world be wrong about Barrick gold & Acacia mining?

[Samantha Cole]

Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining sent a letter of threat to Samantha Cole and the Tanzania Business Ethics group. They claim we are doing so much damage to their companies and to their reputations. Who is responsible for Barrick and Acacia Mining’s crimes?
These threats to us are because of Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining desperately in need of the merger with Endeavour Mining!
Yesterday we read in the Guardian media that Acacia Mining are suddenly meeting with the TRA about their tax evasion problems! Why suddenly now? Because it suits them to pay now because they need the merger. But they are in for a surprise!

An Open Letter to the President of Tanzania, Dr. J.P. Magufuli
Copies to Prime Ministers Theresa May, Justin Trudeau, Ministers, Ambassadors, Media reporters

Last year, we received other threats also so this new letter received from the “Mining Bad Boy’s” lawyers in England, Quinn Emmanual, is nothing new and does not scare us at all.
Our President and Chief Secretary support our hard research work and our focus to follow the examples of President Magufuli and his Government and their fight against corruption and fraud, will continue.

Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining use their huge power and money to bully and oppress small people. They send strong lawyers from overseas to scare and intimidate in order to achieve their goals.

Can they scare ALL THE MEDIA WEBSITES & NEWSPAPERS IN THE WORLD?
Can they sue ALL THE MEDIA WEBSITES & NEWSPAPERS IN THE WORLD?
Is it possible that ALL THE MEDIA WEBSITES & NEWSPAPERS IN THE WORLD dreamed up all the murders and rapes and dishonesty and tax evasion and corruption and fraud and environment damage of Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining?

The answers to all these questions is NO!

Did Samantha Cole cause these crimes of Barrick Gold?
Is Samantha Cole responsible for these crimes?
Can Samantha Cole write about these crimes in the social media and to our President Magufuli and other world leaders? Why not?

Even superficial research reveals that the primary founder of the Barrick operation was the notorious CIA asset and Saudi arms merchant, Adnan Khashoggi.

Are the Quinn Emmanual lawyers sending threaten letters to the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Times, the Globe and Mail and to these hundreds or thousands of media reporters for damage to the Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining reputation? Who is responsible for all the Barrick Gold crimes?

This is the NEW Tanzania and we wrote many times in our blogs that we need mining companies here BUT not to work with human rights crimes and not in a corrupt and fraud way and not damaging our environment and not avoiding taxes, and, and, and……….

Now Barrick Gold and Acacia Mining sending their UK lawyers to threaten us because they know that there can be no merger unless they clean up their mess in our country. The mess is made only by them so why are they looking outside their house?

The colonization days are finished. Please work in our country according to the values and integrity of Julius Nyerere, our ultimate Mwalimu. He taught us the following:
Cooperation and conflict are two sides of the same coin; both arise out of man's relationship with his fellows. The larger the group, the greater the possibility of development through cooperation, and the greater the possibility of conflict.
If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved.
We do not seek conflict. We seek cooperation which brings trust and growth.

If only Acacia Mining will see how well all their Tanzanian workers will give them service when the workers know that Acacia is cooperating with our country? The Acacia mines will bring more fruits and the communities near the mines will become partners in the growth all around.

Kelvin Dushnisky, Brad Gordon, Juma Mwapachu, Deo Mwanyika
Your merger can happen and flourish only if you will enter the new era of cooperation in Tanzania and stop the conflict here.

Your lawyers sent threaten letters to media companies who objectively report the news as it happens. Your threats to the media company www.AllAfrica.com will never slow down our determination, in fact, quite the opposite.
Just as you see hundreds of thousands of links in Google (as described above) so we will cooperate with thousands more AllAfrica type media companies.
However, your bullying and intimidation must stop!
The people at AllAfrica.com are fine, decent, honest, genuine, news people and you send your threats, aggression and your “tough bullies” to those nice people is nothing short of a disgrace. We demand you will reverse that offensive and unnecessary act and remove the pressure that you placed on that media group.

You threaten us to stop our anti-corruption work against your companies?
We will stop with pleasure.
We would much prefer to write positive and good karma articles about your mines and the Tanzanian Peoples in and around your mines. Please God that should be. In Sha’allah!

Thank you and God bless our President and all our Nation.

Is there anything new? Naona links na habari za mambo ya zamani tu. Kama kuna masuala mapya ni mawili nayo ni:

1. Kutishwa; ni vema utupe habari iliyosababisha utishwe. Hizo picha za Bulyankulu na North Mara ni za muda mrefu. Kama kuna jambo current tuambie.

2. Merger and Acquisition; hii M&A nadhani ndiyo story ya kutuambia kwa sasa. How is the deal faring na vipi kuhusu background ya partner mpya. Ningependa kumfahamu kwa sababu unavyompamba ni kana kwamba yeye atakuwa msafi sana kiasi kwamba kashfa dhidi ya Acacia zinaweza kumbadili mawazo.

It is true that we are afraid of Acacia Mining and Barrick Gold.
But we trust in our President and the PCCB who knows we received threats.

Mbona kamati ya Ndugai ya North Mara na allegations za cyanide mto Tigite walisema ni uongo? Hizo picha zimetoka wapi?

Barrick Gold - Acacia Mining : Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't !

Nimeisoma hiyo thread ila kuna kitu sikielewi au hujakipresent vema.

Unataka (JPM) serikali iingilie Merger kati ya Acacia na Endeavor Mining, serikali iingilie vipi deal kati ya wafanyabiashara wawili? Wajibu wa serikali ni kuhakikisha kuwa wawekezaji hao wamepewa leseni ( iwapo wana matatizo kwa nini walipewa leseni) ?. Na serikali unayotaka iingilie kati itaingilia vipi M&A ya international corporations? Hata zingekuwa local serikali haina justification za kuingilia biashara hizi.

Pia pamoja na mabaya yote ya Barrick, ni wazi unaongozwa na chuki dhidi ya Barrick. Kwenye barua yako umekiri kwamba stake ya Barrick Acacia ni 68% na iwapo M&A itakwenda vizuri stake yao itadrop to 30%. Mbona wabia wengine huwataji, who owns the remaining 32%? Je yeye si part ya tatizo ila wenye matatizo ni Barrick pekee?

Kipindi flani nyuma serikali ilishauriwa inunue hisa za Barrick (kabla haijawa Acacia) na NSSF walipigiwa debe wafanye kazi hii. What went wrong? Hata kesho hisa za Acacia zinauzwa kwa nini serikali haitaki kununua kama biashara ina faida sana kama inavyopigiwa debe?

Mimi nishauri unayotaka President aingilie hana nguvu na kimoja wapo. Nguvu alizonazo ni kwenye leseni ya uchimbaji na ununuzi wa hisa za Acacia. Mshauri anunue stake ya Barrick, mchezo uishe.

Pia ashauriwe kuboresha sheria na kanuni za kisheria kuhusu biashara ya madini na sekta nzima. Kumshauri akadeal na watu haisadii chochote, tunategemea adili na mazingira ya kisheria na kikanuni yanayoleta shida.

La mwisho, Barrick hawana operations Tanzania pekee na wala hilo deal halilengi Tanzania bali operations zao duniani pote. Kumshauri Rais aingilie mambo yenye athari nje ya mipaka yetu ni kumtafutia mikwamo ya kidiplomasia.

 

[Samantha Cole]

So the answer to your question about how can our President be involved between 2 businessmen?
Please read our blog in the link below:
Will Tanzania allow a merger between Acacia Mining & Endeavour Mining?

You will read that the FCC has the power to prevent a merger.
There is your answer!
