Why does a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman matter for Africa? Because the Strait of Hormuz carries about a fifth of the world's oil. Now Iran is threatening to "set fire" to any ship passing through it amid its war with the US and Israel. If that happens, BBC's Dingindaba Buyoya explains how the shock could ripple across African economies, from fuel prices to food costs. š¤ Presented by: Dingindaba Buyoya š„ š¬ Video Producer: Basma Elatti Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
