October 12, 2023 –
The Congolese head of state, Félix Tshisekedi, is preparing to make a notable visit to Nkamba, the stronghold of the Kimbanguiste church, in the territory of Mbanza-Ngungu, Kongo Central province. This visit has a double significance, since it aims to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the death of Prophet Simon Kimbangu, founder of the church, and to celebrate the birth anniversary of the current spiritual leader, Simon Kimbangu Kiangani.
One of the highlights of this presidential visit is the promise of the construction of the road called “Path of Passion”, which will connect the city of Nkamba to Mbanza-Ngungu. This road infrastructure is of capital importance, both socio-economically and symbolically. It will allow easier access to Nkamba and will thus promote the development of the region and surrounding localities.
The presence of President Tshisekedi in Nkamba leaves no doubt as to the government’s commitment to this road construction project. The construction of this infrastructure will facilitate trade, stimulate the economic development of the region and improve the quality of life of residents. It also testifies to the importance given to the memory of the prophet Simon Kimbangu, who played an essential role in the religious and cultural history of the country.
In addition to the construction of the road, President Tshisekedi’s visit to Nkamba will highlight other major issues, such as the preservation of the region’s historical and cultural heritage. As a stronghold of the Kimbanguiste church, Nkamba is an important place of pilgrimage for many faithful. It is therefore essential to guarantee its preservation and enhancement as a first-rate tourist and spiritual site.
This presidential visit to Nkamba marks a key stage in the socio-economic development of the region. By supporting the construction of the “Path of Passion” road and participating in the commemoration of the prophet Simon Kimbangu, President Félix Tshisekedi shows his determination to improve the living conditions of local populations and preserve the country’s cultural heritage. Let us hope that this visit is the start of a new surge of development and prosperity for Nkamba and its surroundings.
