Abstract:

Abstract:Temporality in contemporary Kinshasa is of a very specific eschatological kind and takes its point of departure in the Bible, and more particularly in the Book of Revelation, which has become an omnipresent point of reference in Kinshasa's collective imagination. The lived-in time of everyday life in Kinshasa is projected against the canvas of the completion of everything, a completion which will be brought about by God. As such, the Book of Revelation is not only about doom and destruction, it is essentially also a book of hope. Yet the popular understanding of the Apocalypse very much centers on the omnipotent presence of evil. This article focuses on the impact of millennialism on the Congolese experience, in which daily reality is constantly translated into mythical and prophetic terms as apocalyptic interlude.

Abstract:

Résumé. Cette thèse aborde un problème préoccupant, celui de l'avenir des espaces industriels de Kinshasa. Jadis ils constituaient des concentrations d'emplois pour cette grande métropole subsaharienne. La faillite des entreprises et le phénomène des friches, éléments consécutifs aux multiples conflits sociopolitiques et économiques postcoloniaux (zaïrianisation, crise économique, pillages, mondialisation…) ainsi que la mauvaise gouvernance urbaine et la mauvaise politique de gestion foncière à Kinshasa ont plongé l'économie de la métropole dans une régression profonde. Les espaces industriels ont été grignotés au profil de l'habitat et des activités informelles. Pour expliquer ce phénomène, nous défendons l'hypothèse selon laquelle les espaces industriels de Kinshasa ont connu dans leurs trajectoires des dynamiques à différents destins (des sites se sont maintenus, se sont reconvertis, en friche, en dynamique urbaine, d'autres sont exploités de manière opportuniste ou en arrêt d'activité industrielle). Abstract. This thesis addresses a worrying problem, that of the future of Kinshasa's industrial spaces. In the past, they were concentrations of employment for this large sub-Saharan metropolis. The bankruptcy of companies and the phenomenon of wastelands, elements following upon the multiple post-colonial socio-political and economic conflicts (Zairianization, economic crisis, looting, globalization...), as well as poor urban governance and the misguided policy of land management in Kinshasa, have plunged the economy of the metropolis into a deep regression. Industrial spaces have been nibbled away in favor of housing and informal activities. To explain this phenomenon, we defend the hypothesis according to which the industrial spaces of Kinshasa have experienced, along their trajectories, a variety of different dynamics (sites that are maintained, that have been reconverted, are disused, in the course of development, under informal or opportunistic occupation, in commercial collapse...).

Abstract:

AbstractCongolese commerçantes, or transnational women traders, travel abroad to cities such as Guangzhou in search of affordable products to import to Kinshasa. Without any support from local banks, women must search for the means to finance their trips and navigate a complex bureaucracy governed by unpredictable customs tariffs. Just as men rely on their social networks to ensure the success of their business activities, women traders must also forge relationships with people in positions of power. However, a woman's social network, linked to her business activities, invites assumptions about her sexual morality. Men working within the country's unstable economic landscape are celebrated for their ingenuity and ability to ‘work the system’, while a woman's sexual morality is perceived as being affected by, and bound up in, Kinshasa's corrupt business matrices. Transnational commerçantes are thus not only an important part of the economic milieu, largely governed by patron–client relationships; but are also representative of changing gender dynamics in Kinshasa. Based on multi-site fieldwork in Kinshasa and Guangzhou, this article explores the moral anxieties associated with women's transnational trade, anxieties that relate to broader issues about the politics of social networks within local bureaucratic infrastructures.

Abstract:

Background and aim: Oral cancer remains a public health problem with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of Kinshasa dentists on oral cancer. Patients and Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in public and private hospitals in the provincial city of Kinshasa between October 2019 and June 2020. A total of 143 dentists responded to the survey. The questionnaires included knowledge of risk factors, attitude and practice of Kinshasa dentists. Results: The average age of the participants was 34.05 ± 7.31 years, the male gender was the most represented (69.2%), and the level of knowledge of the dentists about the risk factors was low despite the fact that the majority of the participants in the study had recognized alcohol (77.5%) and tobacco (77.6%) as the main risk factors for oral cancer. The majority of the participants referred the patient to a specialist upon discovery of a cancerous lesion, only a minority of dentists performed biopsy and counselling. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of Kinshasa’s dentists about oral cancer is low. Refresher training is necessary to enable them to raise their level of knowledge. Thus, the reinforcement of cancer courses in the dental sector is important for a better management of cancer patient.

Abstract:

Understanding the distribution of Anopheles species is essential for planning and implementing malaria control programmes. This study assessed the composition and distribution of cryptic species of the main malaria vector, the Anopheles gambiae complex, in different districts of Kinshasa. Anopheles were sampled using CDC light traps in the four Kinshasa districts between July 2021 and June 2022, and then morphologically identified. Equal proportions of Anopheles gambiae s.l. per site were subjected to polymerase chain reaction to identify the cryptic species of the Anopheles gambiae complex. Anopheles gambiae complex specimens were identified throughout Kinshasa. The average density significantly differed inside and outside households. Two species of this complex circulate in Kinshasa: Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii. In all the study sites, Anopheles gambiae was the most widespread species. Our results provide an important basis for future studies on the ecology and dynamics of cryptic species of the Anopheles gambiae complex in Kinshasa.

Abstract:

This paper discusses injustice in solid waste management (SWM) and its impact on poor communities in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is argued that poor communities in Kinshasa tend to be the most affected by irregularities in solid waste collection and management. A divide between the rich and poor neighbourhoods is experienced in solid waste management engendering injustice in the city of Kinshasa. Using a qualitative and quantitative research methodology, it is suggested that the current governance systems for SWM in Kinshasa, is unfair by all the different ideas of fairness. In view of this, a cultural theory and systems approach are introduced to determine how actors (fatalist, hierarchist, individualist and egalitarian) influence the management of solid waste and how they are engagement can create environmental justice in SWM in Kinshasa. The paper provides that if the ideal form of urban SWM could be realised in Kinshasa, it should be called participatory resource recovery governance. An environmental policy tailored to very local circumstances-together with some financial support from the government public sector and private companies, and the deployment of social awareness campaigns designed to reduce the generation of “waste” at source (and to emphasise the economic resource value of the misnomer of “wastes”)-could succeed in shifting things towards participatory resource recovery governance. In it, all stakeholders would share equitably the responsibility of resource recovery and environmental protection, if not restoration.

Abstract:

Background: Congenital syphilis is associated with perinatal deaths, preterm births and congenital malformations. Low rates of syphilis screening during pregnancy and treatment of those found seropositive have been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia. We report the rates on antenatal syphilis screening, the seroprevalence of syphilis infection, and the frequency of antibiotic treatment in pregnant women screened positive for syphilis during their attendance at antenatal care (ANC) clinics in Kinshasa, DRC and Lusaka, Zambia. Methods: Women attending their first ANC were enrolled consecutively during a 9-month period in 16 and 13 ANC clinics in Kinshasa and Lusaka respectively, in the context of the baseline period of a cluster trial. Study personnel collected data on women’s characteristics, the syphilis screening practices, the test results, and the frequency of treatment, that were done under routine ANC conditions and registered in the clinic records. Results: 4,153 women in Kinshasa and 18,097 women in Lusaka were enrolled. The frequency of screening at the first visit was 59.7% (n= 2,479) in Kinshasa, and 27.8% (n=5,025) in Lusaka. Screening test availability varied. In the periods in which tests were available the screening rates were 92.8% in Kinshasa and 52.0% in Lusaka. The frequency of women screened seropositive was 0.4% (n=10) in Kinshasa and 2.2% (n=109) in Lusaka. Respectively, 10% (n=1) and 11.9% (n= 13) among seropositive women received treatment at the first visit. Conclusions: The results of the study show that screening for syphilis in pregnancy is not universal even when supplies are available. Our ongoing trial will evaluate the impact of a behavioral intervention on changing health providers’ practices to increase screening and treatment rates when supplies are available.

Abstract:

Description du sujet: La prévision du démarrage de la saison de pluies est une question cruciale en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) en général et dans l’hinterland de la ville de Kinshasa en particulier ; étant donné que l’agriculture y est pluviale. Ainsi, plusieurs producteurs s’en préoccupent. C’est dans ce contexte qu’une étude sur la variation de la saison de pluies de 1961 à 2010 est menée. Objectif: L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser la variabilité interannuelle et décennale de la saison de pluies à partir de deux séries chronologiques de Kinshasa. Méthodes: Une enquête qualitative et quantitative a été conduite auprès de 200 agriculteurs dont 60 % de femmes et 40 % des hommes de l’hinterland de Kinshasa. Les indices de pluies ont été utilisés pour l’analyse des événements extrêmes des pluies journalières ≥ 1 mm. La longueur de la saison de pluies est la différence en jours entre les dates de fin et de début des pluies. Les observations ont porté sur les impacts d’un éventuel changementclimatique sur les activités agricoles. Résultats: Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les dates de démarrage, de fin et la durée de la saison de pluies sont en variation à Kinshasa. La saison de pluies arrive soit de façon tardive en octobre, soit de façon hâtive en septembre. Cette instabilité de démarrage de la saison de pluies perturbe la planification agricole et le développement des cultures dans la région. Sur le plan spatial, les indices de pluies montrent une faible augmentation à l’Ouest et une nette augmentation à l’Est par rapport à la normale pluviométrique calculée de 1961 à 1990. L’évolution de jour de pluies est oscillatoire comme celle des quantités mais la tendance générale montre une diminution de la fréquence de pluies. Conclusion: Aucun des indices pluviométriques analysés n’a montré une tendance évolutive qui soit statistiquement significative au point d’induire des changements sur la pluviosité de la région ; le début annuel des pluies à Kinshasa est variable. Recent changes and determination of the rainy season at Kinshasa region (DRC) from 1961 to 2010 Description of the subject: Forecasting the start of the rainy season is a crucial issue in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRCongo) in general and in the hinterland of the city of Kinshasa in particular; since agriculture is rainfed. Thus, many producers are concerned about it. It is in this context that a study on the variation of the rainy season from 1961 to 2010 is carried out. Objective: The objective of this research is to analyze the interannual and decadal variability of the rainy season from two chronological series of Kinshasa. Methods: A qualitative and quantitative survey was conducted among 200 farmers, 60% of whom were women and 40% of men in the Kinshasa hinterland. The rainfall indices were used for the analysis of extreme events for daily rainfall ≥ 1 mm. The length of the rainy season is the difference in days between the end and start dates of the rains. The observations focused on the impacts of a possible climate change on agricultural activities. Results: The results obtained showed that the start and end dates and the duration of the rainy season vary in Kinshasa. The rainy season comes either late in October or early in September. This unstable start to the rainy season disrupts agricultural planning and crop development in the region. On the spatial level, the rain indices show a slight increase in the West and a clear increase in the East compared to the rainfall normal calculated from 1961 to 1990. The evolution of rainy days is oscillatory like that of the quantities but the general trend shows a decrease in the frequency of rains. Conclusion: None of the rainfall indices analyzed has shown an evolutionary trend that is statistically significant to the point of inducing changes in the rainfall of the region; the annual onset of rains in Kinshasa is variable

With its vast and diverse geography, the Congolese capital offers itself to being read like an open book. In her study, using the theoretical lens of Bertrand Westphal’s geocriticism, Urs explores Bofane’s fictional representation of the Congolese capital, in which she identifies three spaces of refuge. Acquiring both critical and political overtones, these spaces serve as a mise en abyme that can illustrate the functioning of literature.

Aim. To assess the self-medication against malaria infection in population of Congolese students in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in University of Kinshasa, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Medical records of all students with malaria admitted to Centre de Santé Universitaire of University of Kinshasa from January 1, 2008, to April 30, 2008, were reviewed retrospectively.Results. The median age of the patients was 25.4 years (range: from 18 to 36 years). The majority of them were male (67.9%). Artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACTs) was the most used self-prescribed antimalarial drugs. However, self-medication was associated with the ingestion of quinine in 19.9% of cases. No case of ingestion of artesunate/artemether in monotherapy was found. All the medicines taken were registered in DRC. In this series, self-prescribed antimalarial was very irrational in terms of dose and duration of treatment.Conclusion. This paper highlights self-medication by a group who should be aware of malaria treatment protocols. The level of self-prescribing quinine is relatively high among students and is disturbing for a molecule reserved for severe disease in Congolese health care policy in management of malaria.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to obtain information on the perception of Université de Kinshasa students of the quality of the education provided at their institution. The study was based on two hypotheses: (1) Université de Kinshasa students would have a positive appreciation of the quality of the education they receive; (2) socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, promotion and department would influence students' assessment of the quality of the education they receive. To test this hypothesis, a scale was designed and administered to 114 students from the University of Kinshasa, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. The scale assessed four dimensions of teaching quality: the quality of teaching planning, teachers' performance, learning assessment and teachers' mastery of the subject. The results show that students at the University of Kinshasa have a positive assessment of the teaching provided at their institution. In other words, they affirm that the quality of teaching at their university is good. This quality is reflected in four indicators: (1) good planning of teaching by teachers, (2) good performance by teachers, (3) good assessment of learning and (4) mastery of the subject by teachers.

Abstract:

Abstract. Soil erosion has detrimental impacts on socio economic life, thus increasing poverty. This situation is aggravated by poor planning and lack of infrastructure especially in developing countries. In these countries, efforts to planning are challenged by lack of data. Alternative approaches that use remote sensing and geographical information systems are therefore needed to provide decision makers with the so much needed information for planning purposes. This helps to curb the detrimental impacts of soil erosion, mostly emanating from varied land use conditions. This study was carried out in the city of Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo with the aim of using alternative sources of data, based on earth observation resources, to determine the spatial distribution of soil loss and erosion hazard in the city of Kinshasa. A combined approach based on remote sensing skills and rational equation of soil erosion estimation was used. Soil erosion factors, including rainfall-runoff erosivity R), soil erodibility (K), slope steepness and length (SL), crop/vegetation and management (C) were calculated for the city of Kinshasa. Results show that soil loss in Kinshasa ranges from 0 to 20 t ha−1 yr−1. Most of the south part of the urban area were prone to erosion. From the total area of Kinshasa (996 500 ha), 25 013 ha (2.3 %) is of very high ( > 15 t ha−1 yr−1) risk of soil erosion. Urban areas consist of 4.3 % of the area with very high ( > 15 t ha−1 yr−1) risk of soil erosion compared to a very high risk of 2.3 % ( > 15 t ha−1 yr−1) in the rural area. The study shows that the soil loss in the study area is mostly driven by slope, elevation, and informal settlements.

Abstract:

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among traditional healers and herbalists in eastern Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) to identify medicinal plant species traditionally used to treat diabetes mellitus. Fifty traditional healers and herbalists selected through the snowball sampling method were interviewed about plant species used in indigenous medicine to treat diabetes mellitus in Kinshasa city. Cited plant taxa were collected and identified at the Herbarium of the Faculty of Science & Technology, University of Kinshasa. Their ecological status was determined. Most respondents were male (58%), with a sex ratio 1.38. According to the marital status of respondents, single persons represent 42%, followed by married (32%), divorced (20%), and widowed (06%), respectively. Out of 50 persons interviewed, the most represented age group comprises individuals of ˃50 years. Most informants have a secondary school educational background (46%). In Kinshasa city, medicinal plants for treating diabetes mellitus are divided into 19 families, 25 genera, and 27 species. The culture/crop and forest plant species represent the most (37.04% each). The ecological and phytogeographical spectra revealed a predominance of trees (33.33%), microphanerophytes (48.15%), mesophytes (85.19%), sarcochores (66.67%), and pantropical species (40.74%). 68% of the population of Tshangu district in Kinshasa city uses Traditional Medicine, against 32% who are interested in modern medicine. 63% of them believe that medicinal plants can cure diabetes, 31.5% believe that plants improve their health, and 15% of the population surveyed believe that medicinal plants have side effects. The leaves are the most used part (40.74%), followed by the roots (25.93), fruits (18.52%), grains (7.41%), flowers, and stems (3.7% each). Promoting ex-situ conservation of some of these useful medicinal plants through in vitro cell culture will permit the preservation of these phyto-resources. Keywords: Indigenous knowledge, medicinal plants, ex-situ conservation, metabolic diseases, diabetes mellitus.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThis study examined the prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnant women in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Between April and July 2004, antenatal attendees at two of the largest maternity clinics in Kinshasa were tested to identify HIV status, syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). HIV seroprevalence was 1·9% in 2082 women. With PCR techniques, CT and NG infections were also uncommon in the first 529 women (1·7% and 0·4%, respectively). No active syphilis infection case was identified by Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA) and rapid plasma reagin test (RPR). A woman's risk of HIV infection was significantly associated with her reporting a male partner having had other female sexual partners (OR 2·7, 95% CI 1·2–6·2). The continuing low seroprevalence of HIV in pregnant women from Kinshasa was confirmed. Understanding factors associated with this phenomenon could help prevent a future HIV epidemic in low HIV transmission areas in Africa.

Contexte et objectif. L’épidémie à virus Chikungunya est émergente, invalidante et mortelle qui sévi partout. Le virus Chikungunya est transmis à l’homme par la piqûre des insectes infectés du genre Aedes. A Kinshasa, le recent épisode de l’épidémie remonte à 4 années. L’objectif de la présente étude a été d’évaluer les risques de réémergence de l’épidémie du virus Chikungunya à Kinshasa Mont Ngafula. Méthodes. Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale menée à Mont Ngafula, dans laquelle 4 sites ont été sélectionnés à l'aide d'un plan d'échantillonnage à plusieurs degrés du 1er juin au 30 août 2021. Les larves et les nymphes des insectes ont constitué le matériel biologique de l'étude. Des variables environnementales (Température, pH, turbidité, Conductivité et Saturation en oxygène) ont été recueillies dans les gîtes larvaires. Une analyse de régression logistique multivariée a été effectuée pour identifier les prédicteurs de la densité des gîtes larvaires. Résultats. 400 ménages et 738 gîtes larvaires ont été explorés. Les indices entomologiques, indice recipient (IR), indice maison (IM) et indice de Breteau (IB) évalués étaient supérieurs aux critères et normes de l'OMS. La saturation en oxygène, la turbidité et la conductivité se sont avérées significativement associées à la densité des gîtes larvaires. Conclusion. Les risques de réémergence de l'épidémie de Chikungunya à Kinshasa sont réels. Une surveillance entomologique est nécessaire pour mettre en place des mesures de prévention et de contrôle de santé publique. English title: Assessment of the risks of re-emergence of the Chikungunya dans la vallée du Monastère de Mont Ngafula, RD Congo Context and objective. The Chikungunya virus epidemic is emerging, disabling and deadly everywhere. Chikungunya virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. In Kinshasa, the recent episode of the epidemic dates back to 4 years ago. The objective of this study was to assess the risks of reemergence of the Chikungunya virus epidemic in Kinshasa. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Mont Ngafula from June 1st to August 30th, 2021, in which 4 sites were selected using a multistage sampling design. The insect larvae and pupae constituted the biological material for the study. Environmental variables (Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Conductivity, and Oxygen saturation) were collected at the larval sites. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of larval site density. Results. Four hundred households and 738 larval sites were explored. The stegomyia indices, Container index (CI), House index (HI) and Breteau index (BI) assessed were above WHO criteria and standards. Oxygen saturation, turbidity and conductivity were found to be significantly associated with larval site density. Conclusion. The risk of re-emergence of the Chikungunya epidemic in Kinshasa is real. An entomological surveillance is needed to implement public health prevention measures and control. Keywords: Chikungunya, Kinshasa, Reemergence, Risk, DR Congo

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) constitutes now 52% of all strokes. Despite of its deadly pattern, locally there is no clinical grading scale for ICH-related mortality prediction. The first objective of this study was to develop a risk stratification scale (Kinshasa ICH score) by assessing the strength of independent predictors and their association with in-hospital 30-day mortality. The second objective of the study was to create a specific local and African model for ICH prognosis. Materials and Methods: Age, sex, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), smoking, alcohol intake, and neuroimaging data from CT scan (ICH volume, Midline shift) of patients admitted with primary ICH and follow-upped in 33 hospitals of Kinshasa, DR Congo, from 2005 to 2008, were analyzed using logistic regression models. Results: A total of 185 adults and known hypertensive patients (140 men and 45 women) were examined. 30-day mortality rate was 35% (n=65). ICH volume>25 mL (OR=8 95% CI: 3.1-20.2; P<0.0001), presence of coma (OR=6.8 95% CI 2.6-17.4; P<0.0001) and left hemispheric site of ICH (OR 2.6 95% CI: 1.1-6; P=0.027) were identified as significant and independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Midline shift > 7 mm, a consequence of ICH volume, was also a significant predictor of mortality. The Kinshasa ICH score was the sum of individual points assigned as follows: Presence of coma coded 2 (2 × 2 = 4), absence of coma coded 1 (1 × 2 = 2), ICH volume>25 mL coded 2 (2 × 2=4), ICH volume of ≤25 mL coded 1(1 × 2=2), left hemispheric site of ICH coded 2 (2 × 1=2), and right hemispheric site of hemorrhage coded 1(1 × 1 = 1). All patients with Kinshasa ICH score ≤7 survived and the patients with a score >7 died. In considering sex influence (Model 3), points were allowed as follows: Presence of coma (2 × 3 = 6), absence of coma (1 × 3 = 3), men (2 × 2 = 4), women (1 × 2 = 2), midline shift ≤7 mm (1 × 3 = 3), and midline shift >7 mm (2 × 3 = 6). Patients who died had the Kinshasa ICH score ≥16. Conclusion: In this study, the Kinshasa ICH score seems to be an accurate method for distinguishing those ICH patients who need continuous and special management. It needs to be validated among large African hypertensive populations with a high rate of 30-day in–hospital mortality.

Abstract:

Le Lotoko est l’une des boissons les plus populaires consommées à Kinshasa et dans plusieurs autres provinces de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). C’est une boisson spiritueuse produite d’une manière artisanale et clandestine à partir de la purée fermentée de manioc et de maïs dans certains quartiers populaires de la ville-province de Kinshasa. L’étude a consisté à diagnostiquer le niveau d’application de bonnes pratiques d'hygiène (BPH) lors de la préparation de cette boisson dans 36 unités de production identifiées par effet boule de neige dans quatre communes de Kinshasa. Durant le processus d’élaboration de Lotoko, les observations effectuées et les réponses obtenues au questionnaire d’enquête ont montré que les opérateurproducteurs accusent de sérieuses lacunes dans la mise en application des BPH dans leurs installations de production de cette boisson. En effet, leurs équipements n’ont pas été destinés à l’origine aux produits alimentaires et ils ne disposent pas des outils pour le contrôle de la qualité sanitaire de produit fini. Les producteurs de Lotoko doivent faire beaucoup d’efforts pour améliorer leur hygiène corporelle et vestimentaire ainsi que de leur outil de travail. Une implication du pouvoir public, notamment des Ministères de la Recherche scientifique, de l’Industrie et de Petites et Moyennes entreprises peut aider ces producteurs à améliorer la qualité sanitaire et technologique de leurs productions de Lotoko. English title: Analysis of the level of application of hygiene rules in traditional distilleries producing Lotoko in the city of KinshasaLotoko is one of the most popular drinks consumed in Kinshasa and several other Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) provinces. It is a spirit drink produced in an artisanal and clandestine way from fermented mashed cassava and corn in certain popular districts of the city- province of Kinshasa. The study consisted in diagnosing the level of application of good hygiene practices (GHP) during the preparation of this drink in 36 production units identified by snowball effect in four communes of Kinshasa. During the Lotoko development process, the observations made and the answers obtained to the survey form showed that the operator producers have serious shortcomings in the application of GHP in their production facilities for this drink. In fact, their equipment was not originally intended for food products and they do not have the tools to control the finished product. Lotoko producer must make a lot of effort to improve their personal hygiene, clothing and their work tools. Involvement of the public authorities, in particular the Ministries of Scientific research, Industry and Small and Medium sized enterprises can help these producers to improve the sanitary and technological quality of their lotoko productions.

La majeure partie de la population de Kinshasa est en continuel mouvement à travers des Églises, se déplaçant d’une communauté à une autre et même appartenant à plusieurs Églises à la fois. Cette étude présente les résultats de l’enquête réalisée à Kinshasa en 2019-2021 auprès de 101 personnes appartenant à l’Église catholique et aux Églises de réveil sur la question de la transhumance religieuse afin d’en comprendre les causes et les avantages. Les résultats obtenus présentent la transhumance religieuse comme une réalité complexe, mais la raison fondamentale est le sentiment de manque qui s’exprime à différents niveaux : spirituel, social, et matériel.
