The incident that shook DR Congo

The incident in question took place during a press conference during which the Minister Kazadi was supposed to to address a serious subject: the arrest of two army officials following the repression of a demonstration which had unfortunately caused some fifty deaths.

Unfortunately for him, finding the right words to express his thoughts wasn’t his easiest task that day. As he attempted to speak, he was visibly taken aback by the military terms and began to hesitate. It was then that his colleague from the Defense, who was at his side, discreetly whispered the appropriate words.

The reactions of Internet users continued to the minister’s fiasco

On social networks, the video of this unusual scene sparked a wave of reactions. Some Internet users have pointed the finger at the press, suggesting that it would have been wiser to give the microphone to the Minister of Defense. Hilarious comments and memes poured in, fueling the video’s virality.

This undesirable situation of Mr Kazadi stresses the importance of preparation during official speeches, even for the most experienced politicians. The web will undoubtedly continue to have fun with this unexpected interview which made an impression.
