Timeline

1925

Godefroid Munongo Mwenda M'Siri (1925–1992) was a Congolese politician.

Munongo was born on 20 November 1925 in Bunkeya (now in Lualaba Province).

1947

He entered the major seminary in Baudouinville in 1947, where he would stay for two years.

In Kisantu, Munongo obtained his degree from the school of administrative sciences.

He became a court clerk, then a police judge at the court responsible for identity cards.

1958

Munongo was one of the founding members of the CONAKAT party, becoming its first president in October 1958.

The Belgian authorities have pointed at the incompatibility between his functions, and had to step down as CONAKAT president in favour of Moïse Tshombe.

1959

At the service of pensions, he became the head of the office, before becoming territorial agent in 1959.

1960

By 1960, he was the second man in the nationalist CONAKAT party, alongside Moise Tshombe.

It has been claimed he was involved in the ethnic cleansing of Kasaians from 1960 to 1962 in Katanga and tried to obtain Belgian support.

1961

He was a minister and briefly interim president, in 1961.

It has been claimed he was involved in ethnic cleansing and in the assassination of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, during the Congo Crisis.

Munongo was interim president of Katanga Province from 26 April to 22 June 1961.

It has been alleged that Munongo was involved in the death of Lumumba in 1961.

Before his death Munongo was quoted in a newspaper as saying that he would, if Lumumba came to Katanga, do what the Belgians could not do and kill him.

Lumumba and two other ministers were beaten on a plane journey to Katanga.

Near the airport at Luano in Lubumbashi, they were all tortured, and Lumumba was personally assaulted by Katangan leaders, including Munongo and Belgian officers.

After they were shot by a firing squad, their bodies were dissolved in acid.

In reports Munongo said, "I will speak frankly, If people accuse us of killing Lumumba, I will reply: 'Prove it'."

At the Conference Nationale Souveraine (CNS) shortly before his death, Mabika Kalanda asked him, "Godefroid, you are one of the survivors who participated in the end of Patrice Émery Lumumba. Why would you not take advantage of the CNS to tell us your truth?"

Munongo emotionally replied, "My dear Mabika, you put an important issue before me. What I can say at this stage is that I was not alone. We were numerous. We'll have to get all these people together. But anyway, I can say at that time, we were working, without realizing it, for the interests that were not ours. We were young".

He died without ever fully recounting his role in Lumumba's death.

1966

Munongo was Minister of Interior for the Congo in 1965 and then led the eastern Katanga province until 24 April 1966, when the province merged with the neighbouring province of Lualaba.

He was Governor of South Katanga until 5 November 1966.

1976

Munongo was recognised, by the Council of Notables, as the fifth Msiri, and he was enthroned on 12 September 1976.

1992

The family website records that Munongo was going to break his silence on the death of Lumumba, but on the day of the announcement, he suffered a heart attack and died on 28 May 1992.

Munongo's son is involved in politics.

2019

He was a descendant of King Msiri of the Nyamwezi, who founded the State of Garenganze in the latter half of the 19th century.
