Evidence gaps

  • Dedicated person-specific searches for education, success, failure, fraud, safety, environment, legal and governance remain incomplete; a general search is not a clearance.

  • Independent verification of credentials and full career chronology remains incomplete.

  • Underlying investigation and regulatory findings for the 2020 incident, and independent verification of remediation, remain unreviewed. Tsumeb environmental and community-health allegations and the company responses require fuller source review and are not resolved here.
