Today is publication day! My book 'White Mineworkers on Zambia's Copperbelt: In a Class of Their Own' is now available @BrillPublishing! It's a history about labour, race and migration on Zambia's copper mines.

It's like the scammer doesn't know that you can now simply defraud people online through cryptocurrency. You don't need to pretend to have lots of physical precious metals anymore.

@ewangibbs Worth noting that cobalt is mined about 1,100km away from where the conflict is taking place in Congo (about the distance from Glasgow to Berlin!).

@CebelihleM The previous time I had applied in Bloem in 2018. After 3 months with no response, I went to the police station, where the officers told me I could collect only once I got an SMS. I then asked if I could search through the piles of police clearances on their desk and found mine!
