Gold Exploration In Donga Mantung
Studies carried out by Philomena Adamu Beckley, former Northwest Provincial Delegate of Energy and Water, has revealed that an unspecified quantity of iron ore and gold exist in Donga Mantung Division, Northwest Province. Installing 13 Provincial Delegates into their various functions in the Bamenda Congress Hall on Friday, December 16, Northwest Governor, Koumpa Isa, hinted that gold and other minerals have been found in Donga Mantung and other parts of the country.
"Beckley's professional experience includes exploration for iron ore and gold in Donga Mantung, precious stones, coal and salt in Mamfe, geo-chemical exploration of metals and geo-chemical mapping in the south of France," the Governor said.
Beckley herself, told this reporter four years ago that she would keep her lips sealed until "Yaounde authorises me to say anything about the deposit of any minerals in Donga Mantung." Koumpa urged the 13 Provincial Delegates to be assiduous, disciplined and respect hierarchy. He cautioned them to curb their movements to Yaounde and be more active in the field.

Limbe Hospital Receives Equipment
An association, Cameroonian Children, based in Boston, USA, recently donated medical equipment worth FCFA 2.5 million to Limbe Provincial Hospital. The equipment was handed over to the Director of the hospital, Dr. Thompson Kinge, on December 13. "The entire family of the hospital is most grateful for these gifts," Dr. Kinge told the benefactors.
The equipment includes some 4.200 clinical gloves, 20 automatic blood monitors, 10 diabetic testing machines, 600 test tubes and high power batteries for the monitors. The donations were a gesture from children born and bred in Limbe who now live in Boston. Vincent Nkwanta and Charity Asongwed, the association's representatives, who handed over the gifts, said they came together five years ago to help one another in times of need.
"But a year ago, we realised that some of our relations back home were in need of hospital assistance. We then raised some money from which we procured these gifts," Nkwanta said. "If these can help save just one life, then it would have been money well spent," he added.
He also said the group, made up of 25 active members, has been raising funds through parties and from other groups and friends. Dr. Kinge praised the efforts of the Limbe children for thinking about Cameroonians back home. "This is eloquent testimony that although you are thousands of kilometres away, you have us deeply at heart." He said the equipment was timely.

Fred,
That gold and iron ore is the property of the Republic of Cameroon.
But not a property of Corrut people (Francophones or Anglophones).
Do you get it?
I hope so.
