Pale Peko BantuWherever There Are People There Is Never a Shortage of Problems
Issac Mbuyi, a 21-year-old Congolese man from Katanga, works as a digger: he digs for cobalt with his bare hands or using a shovel in the abandoned mines at Kolwezi, a once prosperous city. Isaac’s dream is to go to university. By digging, he hopes to earn enough money to pay for registration, but things are not all that simple. The work is arduous, highly dangerous and the diggers are easy prey to dishonest dealers and profiteers. Isaac’s motto is, "He who never tries never wins", but he has no inkling that he’s in for a bitter disappointment.
