Article: Building under construction collapsing in the Gombe Congo Armed Forces district
The urban landscape of the commune of Gombe in Kinshasa was marked by a disturbing event this Monday, March 18. Indeed, passers-by and residents of the former Avenue Malemba Nkulu, currently called Avenue Kilolo, witnessed the gradual collapse of a 5-storey building under construction. This striking scene has sowed concern among the general public, because the consequences of this collapse could well be dramatic for neighboring buildings.
The alert was given by national deputy Guy Mafuta, a resident of the neighborhood, who expressed his concern about this dangerous situation. In a poignant message, he pointed out possible shortcomings in terms of the quality of training and the issuance of construction authorizations. He also highlighted gaps in civil security, stressing that it is imperative to intervene quickly to avoid a major disaster.
The situation is all the more worrying as the building in question is located near the Safricas roundabout, causing palpable anxiety among residents of the neighborhood. Urgency is therefore essential to prevent the building under construction from completely collapsing and causing irreparable damage.
It is essential to closely monitor the development of this complex issue, in order to learn the necessary lessons to prevent such situations in the future. The safety of residents and the quality of construction must be absolute priorities, in order to ensure a safe and harmonious urban environment for all.
Thus, this event highlights the crucial issues linked to town planning and construction in the city of Kinshasa, inviting in-depth reflection on the standards and practices in force. Only concerted action and collective awareness can guarantee a healthy and secure living environment for all city dwellers in the Congolese capital.
