De Beers and others mining Africa

Africa is a treasury full of precious resources. From uranium to lithium, diamonds to gold – it’s all out there in the red soils of the Mother Continent. But the ones benefiting from the exploitation of those resources are not Africans. Instead, it’s the global corporations owned and operated by the Western elites. Who are these groups? Why are they given the right to mine Africa and pay pennies to the inhabitants of the continent, and what should be done about this? Professor PLO Lumumba explains.

De Beers and others mining Africa
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O.
