Welcome to the first episode of our 12-part series, "Disinformation, Fossil Fuels, and Development in Africa," on the Sustain267 Podcast. In this episode, we are in Medie, Botswana looking to shed light on agreements between Minergy Coal and Medie village.  to bring Masama Coal Mine to life in their community. We are in conversation with community leaders, as they take us right to the beginning of how Masama Coal Mine mine came to exist.
