Mama Sifa Mahanya and her son Joseph Kabila — karisimbi online news

Mama Sifa Mahanya

She was the wife of the former leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo Laurent Désiré Kabila before her son assumed power in 2001 after the assassination of his father. Her son, Joseph Kabila was supposed to leave office in December 2016 when his second and last term ended, but the electoral commission postponed the presidential election citing the lack of resources to conduct a free, fair and credible poll. The postponement of the election to December 2018 has sparked deadly violence in the central African nation, with several people already reported dead in different parts of the country.
