Karibu!

Welcome to Episode 2 of African Mirror, a show where our DJ Host ORIKoL talks about issues through the African eye.

This week ORIKoL reflects on how love can be a powerful currency. Our communities have the power to enable us to live a good life outside of personal wealth, if we let it. Why then are we seeing the exploitation of resources and labour in DRC? Greed left over from colonisation, has left a frighting cobalt mining industry in the Congo. They are an objectively rich in resource country, so why are we seeing a culture of perverse child labour? It's difficult to accept the role consumer culture, that so many of us participate in, is playing in this part of Africa. It's also simply not good enough to blame the people of DR Congo. Maybe that new phone wasn't worth it after all...

"It makes no sense for us to keep on enjoying life without us opening each others eyes." - ORIKoL
