Graham Crumbs How Long Does It Keep

Removals, robbery and rape: The municipality of Mont Ngafula is dying for lack of electricity


(Groupelavenir March 30, 2010)
monster load shedding is not as some think. It is rather the total absence of electricity is worse hell heard to say recently in Mont Ngafula.

The large municipality of the city of Kinshasa province is currently experiencing many problems related to lack of electricity. Disputes between tenants and landlords, cases of rape, armed robbery will resurface every day without worrying about anyone, it seems. And the worst will soon, certainly not.

If this term used technique became the prerogative of every inhabitant of Kinshasa,''shedding'', we learned to make do. This is more worrying as it is the total absence of electricity. Cabin No. 19 B feeding areas formerly Mama Yemo and Mazamba, flew recently to smoke at Mont Ngafula. So far, there is no sign promising in the direction of restoration of electricity, according to some agency officials to Snell, located across the road from the town hall, not for tomorrow.

A colleague was recently reported that a petition residents of this county have addressed the current Minister of Energy. Similarly, your newspaper echoed at least once a week until the situation is catastrophic, and that, until light returns. But when will the wait be long? Conflicts are beginning to report.

Some tenants are resigned to continue pay the lease on the agreed terms, as the lack of electricity in contrast to their income generating activities. But beyond discussions of rape cases are reported. An informed source informs that two girls were assaulted last Saturday while they were trying to reach the hill from the University of Kinshasa Mont Ngafula, passing by the monastery.

Similarly, the cables are exposed without charge, to thank you thugs. Last night, the few dogs still living on King Avenue, Mama Yemo district, some 500 meters from the town hall, have succeeded to discourage miscreants.

Although the list is not exhaustive, women have managed to defy the rapists, around three o'clock in the morning as they were in search of water. Fortunately Regideso soon regained the water service since the weekend. And as for finding a lasting solution, some locals prefer to move to other municipalities. In Mont Ngafula, electronics and appliances are more than trompe l'oeil.

Fridges become cabinets, sound and broadcast images of the past. While this situation persists inconsistent, hum of generators here and there. While their owners play music to split eardrums neighbors, unresponsive fighters disturbance at night. It was probably a carefully well-off found for the churches first. However, there will he one day someone will fly to the rescue of Mont Ngafula dying for lack of electricity?

The answer to this question can only come from the National Electricity Company (SNEL). In an era where the DRC is in the DRC is in the fever of the activities marking the fiftieth anniversary of its independence, a few days before launch The Caravan loop Kinshasa by the Commissariat général au anniversary, how is it that some people like to see black bags full without capital and not bother to fill in faster? Friends and foes of the initiator of the site energy, including electricity, do not fail to react promptly certainly face this disaster.
