Yet again, the US is convulsed with protest after the shooting of another unarmed black man by police. Jason Blake was shot seven times in the back on 23 August.
At the height of the first round of the coronavirus pandemic in May, another virus that has never gone dormant took over: racism.
It reared its ugly head following the death of African-American George Floyd.
Floyd’s death by the hands of police officers, has once again reignited the on-going fight across the United States for equality and the end of racism against the African-American community.
It has also shone a spotlight on police brutality, particularly rampant against persons of colour.
Are those topics relevant today across Africa? How are Africans seeing this global movement and what importance does it play?
To answer those questions, we spoke to Nana-Ama Danquah, Zukisa Wanner, and Veronique Tadjo, in this episode that originally aired on 8 June 2020.

Understand Africa's tomorrow... today
We believe that Africa is poorly represented, and badly under-estimated. Beyond the vast opportunity manifest in African markets, we highlight people who make a difference; leaders turning the tide, youth driving change, and an indefatigable business community. That is what we believe will change the continent, and that is what we report on. With hard-hitting investigations, innovative analysis and deep dives into countries and sectors, The Africa Report delivers the insight you need.
