This song in 1980 caused ripples in the Catholic Church to the extent that the Vatican asked the Bishops in DRC to intervene. Mobutu also stepped in to curb the spread of the song. Most of us black Africans who don’t speak Lingala did not know what the song was about until now that it is subtitled in English. This is a rendition of the original song, but the lyrics and music are unchanged. Happy Sunday Bazalwane

IDAC is shameful! Johnson is a vile human being! She labels her a token, arrests her, & humiliates her… only to say she apologises? Hell no! She should have resigned with immediate effect from IDAC. Her apology means NOTHING! It must be REJECTED WITH CONTEMPT! They must all pay for this inhumanity! Ngxa!
