 Apple's statement on minerals must be 'verified': DRC International lawyers for the Democratic Republic of Congo welcomed Apple's decision to stop sourcing minerals from there due to worsening conflict, but said they would press ahead with their cases against the company in Europe. Criminal complaints were filed against Apple subsidiaries in France and Belgium this week on behalf of DR Congo, accusing the tech firm of using conflict minerals in its supply chain, Reuters reported.

ZIMBABWE GOVERNMENT,JUST BANNED SECOND-HAND CLOTHES & SHOES INTO THEIR COUNTRY.

                The Zimbabwean government has announced a ban on the importation of second hand clothes and shoes intended for resale.Though their government opposition parties have criticized the ban,saying it was negatively impart the livelihoods of thousands of unemployed locals who have relied on selling second hand clothes.Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa says the ban comes amidst health concerns but is also aimed at protecting the local clothes manufacturing sector.Hmmm to me,the disadvantage about banning sensitive products like cloths is that,there will be a high rate of smuggling of clothes into Zimbabwe.
