05 MAY 2024 EXPERIENCE WITH TATA GONDA RELIGION

It is always a great honor to be welcomed in the Tata Gonda Land for our Expeditions.

The Sect name comes after the late Tata Gonda who accepted in 1989 the God’s call to dress in “Sac” (a special type of packaging used for goods) that symbolize “humiliation”. The believers live in a so organized community with mandatory field work, praying all six hours, first for the world and then for themselves and their relatives. People dressed in sac always sleep outside and never wash with water. They wash their bodies with ashes from burned palm tree leaves. This religion is not only used as a treatment for sins but also as a medication. After praying for sick, foolish people and all kind of needy, people are immersed into a holy water from a lake “created by God” for the benefit of his people. Three rules guides this religion : Respect to God Tata Gonda, respect to the responsible of the religion, and respect to the state.
We started meeting the head of church, attended their prayer for the world which is an intimate time with the God Tata Gonda to have mercy for the whole world. During this prayer, expression of emotions are immensely visible as it appears on the following images. We also had several other activities to which we invite the lovers of authentic cultures and religions to discover during our next trips next year. Not only that we ended attending all their ceremonies, but also, we were honored by visiting the holy mausoleum where rest for eternity the God Tata Gonda.

Today, 2 June 2024, and as always, Congo Local Guides organized Kinshasa Voodoo Wrestlers fights. This popular Kinshasa event is still not well globally known. In this particular event, the wreslers use the voodoo wrestling style of catch fetiche that has grown to be arguably the most popular style of wrestling with fans in the Congo. More and more wrestlers have continued to employ catch fetiche tactics of magic and spiritual power, creating almost a split wrestling scene.
Travellers willing to experience the wrestling, are encouraged to reach us on ⁨0840 848 484⁩ or [email protected] for more details.

WAGENIA FISHERMEN, WHO ARE THEY?

These fishing people who live in part of Kisangani and who are today referred to as the indigenous people of this city, would have arrived from Nyangwe, a city located in the Kasongo Territory upstream of Kisangani, around the 1400s.
This May 31, 2024 after seeing the Gorillas in Kahuzi Biega Park, visiting artisanal cassiterite mine in remote hills of Maniema Province and nearly 40km trekking in the jungle, we were received by the customary chief who told us about the history of the Wagenia. Traditionally fishermen, the Wagenia would have experienced a difficult period of fishing in the 15th century, which would have motivated their migration to a region favorable to fishing. To reach Kisangani, they would have built a large wooden boat which allowed them to navigate to Kisangani (requires exploration because Kasongo-Kindu and Kindu-Ubundu are non-navigable reaches). Arrived in Kisangani, they were warmly welcomed in these terms "Karibu Wageni", words in Swahili which mean in English "Welcome Guests". And this is where the name “wagenia” comes from. They then built the first scaffolding around 1482 on the falls currently known as "wagenia falls".
The fishing practice is unique, original and constitutes a world reference for this people. These scaffoldings on which the traps are suspended resist strong water currents and can be built in different places depending on the water level of the Congo River. Apart from their prowess in defying the rapids in Kisangani, the Wagenia find themselves at the crossroads of a large fishing center where it is possible to catch a varied category of fish, including the Mbenga (Tiger Fish). As in the past, we had an extraordinary experience with these great fishermen in the turbulent water of the Congo River as these images show.
