Albert-Joseph Kasongo Wa Kapinga

He then continued his education in the Kongo Central (Bas-Congo) at the Colonie Scolaire run by a Catholic congregation,[6] the De La Salle Brothers, or the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Latin: Fratres Scholarum Christianarum; French: Frères des Écoles Chrétiennes).

He later left the congregation to live in Boma (Kongo Central) where he worked and owned a house for several years.

It also hosts major financial institutions, business centers, and the best hotels and hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Additionally, it's important to note that Albert-Joseph Kasongo Wa Kapinga received one of the highest commendations from the president of the Republic,[16] Commander[17][18] of the National Order of the Leopard,[19] for his endless work in education and creating jobs in the community.

As a teacher, he taught notable figures such as Joseph Diangienda,[21] son of Simon Kimbangu, founder and spiritual leader of the Kimbangiust Church.
