Cobalt and conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo

And why has it led to calls to boycott tech companies? This is the episode for you. The Democratic Republic of Congo has been home to war and conflict for decades. This year there’s been an increase in violence in the east, with more than 100 armed groups fighting over territory and natural resources. Anne Soy, the BBC senior Africa correspondent, kicks off the episode by dipping into the history of the long-running conflict. Anneke Van Woudenburg - from RAID, a human rights NGO - also fills us in on the country’s controversial mining industry.

A conversation with Tupac’s godfather, Jamal Joseph

Despite his death 27 years ago, Tupac Shakur is still making headlines. He’s also widely considered to be one of the most successful rappers of all time. So, why is he so iconic? What was he like as a person, and why has it taken so long to arrest someone for his murder? De-Graft gets a rare look into Tupac’s life from someone who was close to him, his godfather, Jamal Joseph. Jamal is also the audiobook narrator of the newly released ‘Tupac Shakur: The Authorised Biography’. And if you don’t know that much about Tupac, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! De-Graft also sits down with culture and music journalist Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, who explains why the rapper was so influential and why a man by the name of Duane Davis has been charged with his murder.
