Apart from producing amazing musicians, DRC produces half of the worlds Cobalt.
Cobalt is one of the world’s most sought-after minerals, and a key ingredient in the batteries that power most electric vehicles (EVs). In a recent article The Guardian investigated ‘allegations of discrimination and racism reminiscent of the colonial era’. ‘An estimated 35,000 children work in perilous conditions to extract cobalt from the ground. Gradually as the Dark Side of Congo’s Cobalt Rush expands because ‘cell phones and electric cars rely on the mineral, locals are hunting for this buried treasure—but are getting almost none of the profit’.
Africa how do we sing our way out of this slavery?
To alleviate the depression of 21st century slavery from the discovery of cobalt and every other mineral in Africa, we found a list of famous people from the DRC to keep us entertained. Oh, and going back to the subject of bumping into famous Africans on the beach, we discovered a video of Akon doing cartwheels on a gorgeous sandy beach. Enjoy!
