The two chambers of the Congolese parliament propose recognising five figures from the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo as national heroes: the prophetess Kimpa Vita, the prophet Simon Kimbangu, Mgr Christophe Munzihirwa Mwene Ngabo, Dr Étienne Tshisekedi wa Mulumba and Mgr Emmanuel Kataliko, reports Le Potentiel.
The initiative is presented as a first in the history of the National Assembly under the presidency of Aimé Boji Sangara and the Senate under the presidency of Sama Lukonde. The Congolese parliament thus intends to contribute to recognising and promoting these five figures, who marked the political, spiritual and social history of the DR Congo at different periods, according to Le Potentiel.
