Fatshimetrie mourns the loss of an emblematic figure of education in the DRC: Emmanuel Mahenda, respected Technical Assistant at the INPP, passed away at the age of 78 following a long illness. His death leaves a poignant void in the field of professional preparation, where he dedicated 45 years of his life to training young Congolese.
This man with an exemplary career left an indelible mark on national education. His unwavering commitment and dedication to his profession made him a role model for many generations. His rigor, kindness and passion for teaching left their mark on those who were lucky enough to cross his path at the INPP.
Emmanuel Mahenda was able to pass on his knowledge and experience with generosity, thus helping to train dozens, even hundreds of young talents in various professional fields. His positive influence is still felt today in the daily lives of those he accompanied and guided throughout his career.
His nephew, Jean-Marie Talamaku Makazu, highlighted the importance of this remarkable man in the lives of his family and loved ones. His passing leaves a great void, but his legacy will endure for generations to come.
Emmanuel Mahenda’s funeral is an opportunity for the educational and professional community to pay him a final tribute. The wake organized in N’djili and the burial planned at the “La Miséricorde” necropolis demonstrate the attachment and respect that his colleagues, friends and students have for him.
Beyond his role as Technical Assistant at the INPP, Emmanuel Mahenda will be remembered as an exemplary man, devoted to his educational mission and always ready to pass on his knowledge. His contribution to education and vocational training in the DRC will remain a precious legacy for future generations.
In this time of mourning, Fatshimetrie extends its most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Emmanuel Mahenda. May they find comfort in the memories and legacy of this exceptional man. His memory will remain etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
