Yevgeny Prigozhin is dead. Allegedly. He was on the passenger list of a private jet that was shot down by Russian defence forces and there were no survivors. Who was he and why was he important? I was in the process of creating a commentary about him and his work as it pertains to Africa but this turn of events has superseded that. As such this article will give you context to who he was, why he matters and what his death might mean to the world and us in Africa.
