The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education, Tony Mwaba Kazadi claimed that impregnating his deputy, Aminata Namasia was an accident at work.
Even though both government officials have their spouses, Namasia allegedly fell in love with the minister when she was appointed the deputy of the ministry in 2021.
According to a report by Punch, the deputy minister argued that damaging her reputation should not be a practice that was condoned because it could jeopardise not only her relationships but also the reputations of her married male coworkers and their houses.
She said: “On the eve of the electoral contests scheduled for December of this year, political detractors can attack my opinions and political actions rather than opting for practices tending to smear my person.”
Before now, she had taken to her Twitter handle to refute that outside of her official and public duties, she has a life that must be respected by all; a right, she claimed, that is guaranteed to all Congolese by their constitution.
Similarly, a reliable Congolese named Nugandu, who was quoted in The Street Journal claimed that it was all a part of the DRC’s political theatre.
