Good day

I am JJ Nienaber from SA and I wouldlike to get some basic information concerning DRC lubumbashi. I'm planning to come and work for Ruashi Mining.

Please assist with info.

hi jj

i work for ruashi mining and live in lubumbashi..10 months now. re your questions; if you bring your fam/ wife, ruashi mining will provide you with a house and security guard 24/7. you are safe ..traffic police are poor and hungry which spells a bit of a foreigner pullover bias..ok a lot actually but no danger. You can always start by yourself for a month or two to suss the place out..its not mozambique..but the congolese really welcome foreigners! company wise..no need to wory! mike
