Fair compensation for miners significantly reduces illegal smuggling and enables countries to capture more value from their natural resources; when miners receive 99% of market price, legitimate gold production increases dramatically, transforming raw gold worth $150 into refined bars worth $2,500 and ultimately $7 billion in finished products, creating substantial economic value that can fund infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

๐จ๐๐พBREAKING: BIG PUSH to make Scott Sakupwanya Minister of Mines, I understand why!Added:
I want you to imagine a man pulls a rock from a hole in Shurugwi at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. By the time the sun is up, he has crushed it, washed it, and he is holding a small lump of gold worth about $150. He sells it. His transaction ends [music] there. But, the gold account is only beginning. That raw gold that gets refined into a pure bar, now which is worth $2,500. The bar gets certified, stamped, [music] and sold to a dealer.
Now, $3,200. The dealer sells it to a jeweler [music] in Dubai. That chain sells $9,000. Same gold, same ounce.
$150 is a man's palm in Shurugwi. $9,000 is a glass [music] case in the Gulf. If that miner pulls 1 kg every month, he gets paid roughly $60,000. That kg refined is worth $3.6 million. $3.5 million in value created after the gold left the hands of the miner. Now, Scott Sakupwanya figured out something that cost countries decades and billions to learn. The miner does not sell to the smuggler because the smuggler is clever.
He sells to the smuggler because the smuggler pays him today in full with dignity. So, Scott built an operation that does the same thing, but legally [music] at a fair price on the same day, cash in hand. The miners keep coming.
Not out of loyalty, out of mathematics.
Ghana spent nearly $280 [music] million building a gold board in 2025, and their big revelation was this: Paid the miners 99% of market price, and $4 billion in gold walks through the door in 4 months. Scott cracked that code before all of them. The common sense to know that a man who has been underground since before dawn deserves to be paid like his work matters. Here is what people miss, a deeper thing that he proved. Fair prices reducing smuggling is obvious. What Better Brands proved is that a Zimbabwean [music] can own the step where $150 becomes $3,000. The gap between the hole and the refinery has been controlled by foreign middlemen on this continent for a century. A Zimbabwean took it back. [music] Zimbabwe produced $4 billion in gold last year. If we refine it ourselves, certify it to London standards, and into finished product, that $4 billion becomes $7 billion in new value. $3 billion builds 15,000 [music] houses, opens 600 schools, pays 10,000 nurses for a decade. And right now, Scott proved at his own scale that the gold [music] remains when the apparatus honors the miner. What changed is that someone decided the value should remain.
Every country that cracked this code found one person who understood the miner before they understood the mineral. Zimbabwe found that person before Ghana did. My name is AC Dimba.
Until next time, head back.
