Africa and Wagner: What happens now Prigozhin is assumed dead? BBC Africa

Wagner has a decentralised command on the continent where it provides security for some African leaders in exchange for mineral and other strategic economic and military concessions.
But given Prigozhin's death, how does this affect Wagner going forward? And does this impact Russia and Africa's relationship?
The BBC's Beverly Ochieng explains.
