Joseph Mobutu, the former military leader who became president of Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, changed his name in a quest to “Africanize” himself and his state. He became Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Waza Banga, meaning The Warrior who Goes from Conquest to Conquest Leaving Fire in his Wake.
