The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi has appointed the country’s Former Regional Integration and Francophonie Minister Didier Mazenga Mukanzu as the new Tourism Minister in a sweeping government reshuffle
His appointment was part of an overhaul of the 57 member-cabinet, which the president’s spokesperson said was “urgent and necessary”, in an announcement on national television late on Thursday 23rd March 2023.
Didier Mazenga Mukanzu takes over from Modero Nsimba who spent a little under two years at the portfolio.
Mr. Mukanzu was also Minister of Transport and Communication in the government of Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba and is regarded as an influential member of the current administration.
