The 77 Percent — The Magazine for Africa's Youth

This week on The 77 Percent, we journey to the heart of DR Congo, where a new generation is determined to reclaim its future. We investigate who is exploiting mineral resources in the country and how it connects to the global electric car boom. We also meet a student of the legendary boxer Kobimango, who tragically lost his life during clashes with M23 rebels.
