Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The Congolese Isaac Mbuyi, from Katanga, is 21 years old and lives in a region where most people earn a living working in the mines. This means that he digs up cobalt using his bare hands or just a spade, in the abandoned mines in the once flourishing town of Kolwezi. Isaac's dream is to go to university and by digging he hopes to earn the money he needs to achieve this. But he can only earn enough if he smuggles the cobalt to buyers who are willing to pay a reasonable price, thus becoming part of the chain of corruption and illegal trading.
