Mwadingusha is a community in the Kambove Territory of Haut Katanga District in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[1] The Cornet Falls on the Lufira River had a drop of 113 metres (371 ft) at Mwadingusha.

The river was dammed at the falls in 1925 with an 8 metres (26 ft) dyke to form Lake Tshangalele, a reservoir for a hydroelectric generator supplying power for copper smelting in Likasi.

[2] The newly formed Société Générale des Forces Hydro-électriques du Katanga (SOGEFOR) undertook construction over a four-year period, with most of the work done by large crews of laborers.

The resultant shallow lake has an area of over 410 square kilometres (160 sq mi) and supports up to 2,000 fishermen.
