Namibian NGO #FrackFreeNamibia has submitted an objection to #ReconAfrica's expanded drilling and seismic surveying programme. We raise objections on the following grounds: 1) The current updated EIA is based on a deeply flawed initial EIA process and as such cannot be updated

In spite of finding #no #oil during exploratory drilling on community-owned farms and community conservancies in Namibia’s Kavango regions, #ReconAfrica is drilling again. When will the Namibian government wake up and #SavetheOkavangoDelta?

🚨 Controversial Canadian oil and gas company @Recon_Africa has resumed its extensive drilling operations in Namibia's Kavango regions. We cannot allow the people and rich biodiversity of Kavango and Okavango to be sacrificed for fossil fuel profits. #SaveTheOkavango

Excellent article on #oil production and its dire impacts - #ecocide - in the #NigerDelta. So many lessons for on and off-shore #oilandgas exploration in Namibia. @zainabmaibornu shows why women's voices matter.

The article describes the legal transgressions of the Canadian company #ReconAfrica. This includes non-compliance with water use permits, encroachment on conservancy and farmland and failure to comply with industrial standard operating procedures

Is #ReconAfrica a good investment? stockhouse.com/news/the-mark… Rightful question, I'd say @NamcorNamibia! @Re_ConAfrica @SOUL_Okavango @esjtnam

Is ReconAfrica a good investment?

ReconAfrica stock (OTCQX:RECAF) is a good example of a glorious investment story with little hard evidence for long-term value creation.

ReconAfrica, the Canadian oil and gas company that has been controversially drilling wells in an environmentally sensitive region in Namibia near the Okavango River, is back to being a penny stock again. At one point it was valued at over $12 (CAD) a share.
