Marie-Claire Mboyo Moseka, known as Mbilia Bel, recently announced her membership in the political party Alliance des forces democratiques du Congo (AFDC) of Modeste Bahati Lukwebo. This decision follows that of other musical artists such as Werrason, Koffi Olomide and Adolphe Dominguez, who also joined this party.
The membership ceremony took place in the presence of Placide Mutabunga, national vice-president of the AFDC, and Guy Richard Malonga, general secretary of the party. Prominent members of the AFDC, such as Malikidogo Kavuko Bertin, Federal President of Lukunga II, and Federal President of Tshangu II, also attended the event.
In her speech, Mbilia Bel called on all Congolese mothers to join her in this process, in order to defend the voice of Congolese women together. It is important to emphasize that this political membership of the musical artist does not only make her a member of the party, but also a strong voice for the concerns and rights of women in the country.
The involvement of artists in the political sphere is not new in the DRC. These influential figures can play a vital role in raising awareness and mobilizing citizens. Their voice can contribute to the promotion of social and political change, and to the defense of the interests of their fellow citizens.
However, it is important to note that this involvement must be motivated by a real conviction and an understanding of the political and social issues. Artists must also be aware of the impact of their words and actions on society, and act responsibly and ethically.
By joining the AFDC, Mbilia Bel affirms her commitment to the ideals and objectives of this political party. It remains to be seen how this collaboration will develop and what contribution the artist can make to the promotion of democracy and the well-being of the Congolese population.
In conclusion, Mbilia Bel’s membership of the AFDC marks a new stage in the involvement of Congolese artists in the political sphere. This underlines the importance of the role of artists as spokespersons and defenders of the rights of women and the population in general. It remains to be seen what concrete actions Mbilia Bel will undertake as a member of the AFDC and how this could influence the political and social life of the country
