Like other corrupt African dictators, Tshisekedi has presided over a corrupt, repressive and economically impotent regime which has tried every dirty trick in the book, including violence and electoral corruption, to rig the election!

Lusaka, Dec. 21 – According to local and international media reports my guy and my former boss, popular opposition presidential candidate Moise Katumbi (right), is headed for a landslide victory in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after taking an early massively comfortable lead following voting that went into the night Wednesday. The crybaby incumbent President, Felix Tshisekedi, is gasping for political life.

Like other corrupt African dictators, Tshisekedi has presided over a corrupt, repressive and economically impotent regime which has tried every dirty trick in the book, including violence and electoral corruption, to rig the election.
But the people of DRC seem to have already made up their minds that their country has a rare opportunity to regain control of their natural wealth; to chart a new political and economic course towards functional democracy and socio-economic prosperity for all.

The affable mining multimillionaire, Katumbi, who is popular and loved in Zambia’s Luapula and Copperbelt Provinces, is reported to be leading in all the provinces after demolishing Tshisekedi’s stronghold of Kasai Province where he hails from.
By the way, I briefly served as one of Katumbi’s armed body guards as a side hustle to make some extra cash at his house in Zebra Street in Nkana East, Kitwe, near the Copperbelt University (CBU) and Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC).
According to the DRC News Today and other local media outlets, desperate Tshisekedi’s Members of Parliament went to his home province, Kasai, with trunkfuls and sackfuls of dirty money to bribe voters, but were unceremoniously chased by local people who rejected the money believed to have been supplied by predatory western campaign funders eyeing the DRC’s vast mineral deposits and timber resources.
Should Moise Katumbi win, and he will win, his victory will not only be celebrated in DRC but in Zambia’s Luapula and Copperbelt Provinces as well where he has left a huge footprint.
As things look, it’s safe to shout “Bye bye Felix!” Yes, his time and that of his corrupt and unpatriotic ilk is up. Africans are not joking any more. Their eyes are now wide open!
