“Political Turmoil and Justice: Matata Ponyo’s Unyielding Spirit”


On Thursday, June 22, 2023, at 9 a.m., the Constitutional Court, led by its President, intends to release Matata Ponyo. This decision comes after a power struggle between Matata Ponyo and Modeste Mayati, the President of the Senate. Matata Ponyo has been consistently subjected to brutality and mistreatment by the Congolese government through the Congolese justice system. The current president is determined to eliminate any potential candidates for the 2023 elections, thus threatening the Congolese political landscape. As a result, many candidates are facing intimidation. Martin Fayulu has already withdrawn his candidacy for future elections, and now it is Matata Polo’s turn to face threats from the justice system. Despite these challenges, he refuses to back down. The current president is attempting to eliminate any potential candidates for the upcoming elections. However, Matata Ponyo remains resolute, despite immense pressure from the Congolese justice system. Matata Ponyo continues to emerge unscathed and fearlessly stands up to the judiciary’s actions.
