Albert Delvaux

Albert Delvaux Mafuta Kizola (8 May 1918 – 1985) was a Congolese politician who served as Resident Minister of the Republic of the Congo in Belgium.

According to the Loi fondamentale (Fundamental Law) and based on Belgian constitutional practice, every decision by the President has to be countersigned by a minister.

Together with Minister of Foreign Affairs Justin Bomboko, Delvaux signed the presidential ordinance dismissing the Lumumba government.

After the second coup d'état of Joseph-Désiré Mobutu in 1965, Delvaux held several offices like a People's Commissioner (Member of Parliament) from 1977, and member of the Political Bureau of the state party Mouvement Populaire de la Révolution, where he was the dean of the Bureau.

Through the renaming campaign in the framework of Authenticité, Albert Delvaux changed his name to Mafuta Kizola.
