Nov 2011 The governor of Katanga province has accused large mining companies of not complying with law n° 74-008 dated July 10, 1974. This decree provides for the mandatory insurance of all their staff members. These companies insure only expatriate staff but not Congolese ones. Moreover, the policies are underwritten with foreign insurance companies when the province is always required to contribute in the event of accidents. These great companies are, henceforth, required to deal with SONAS, the national company whose intervention, for the time being, remains confined to fronting on this type of coverage.
