The Democratic Republic of Congo has nothing to be proud of 60 years after independence, all thanks to the leadership that has had the opportunity to govern the country after it was decolonised from Belgium.
This was the message from Moise Katumbi, Chairman of the heroic African football club TP Mazembe.
Katumbi, who is also President of opposition party Esemble (Together), was delivering his message for the country's 60 Years Independence Day celebrations.
According to him, there was not a single sector in society where Congolese people can attest to and take pride in those who have ruled them over years.
He then highlighted almost all the failures that has basically turned the country into a collapsed state; from the lost of territorial sovereignty (as foreign forces continues to occupy certain parts of the country), dilapidated health system, endemic poverty and lack of infrastructural development.
Katumbi also took the opportunity to oppose any attempt to change the current judicial laws, as being proposed by members of the ruling majority in the National Assembly.
But despite providing a gloomy picture, Moise Katumbi proclaimed that he remains confident about the future of the country and called on the population to stay united.
Given his popularity, it's expected that the football Chairman and former Governor, will contest the 2023 Presidential Elections.
The Democratic Republic of Congo celebrated 60 years of independence on the 30th of June 2020.
