Curator summary:
Weeks before Zambia's election, a Global Witness report alleges mining-sector influence over government policy—but explicitly concedes it found no evidence of corruption or illegality. This critique argues the report's conclusions outstrip its evidence, raising broader questions about methodology, electoral timing, and the evidentiary standards required for claims of institutional capture.

Discussion prompt:
What stands out to you, and how does this connect to restoring Maat in practical community life?
