Legend
Daniël Monguya Mbenge had a similar career as Vital Moanda. He became second vice-governor of Bandundu and was even appointed governor of Shaba in February 1972. Several months later, in July 1972, his name was stricken off the list of the "Commandeurs de l'Ordre du Léopard" and he was dismissed as governor. He was even convicted of grave shortcomings in the pursuance of his office in September 1972. After the first Shaba War, March-May 1977, he was sentenced to death by default. He founded the "Mouvement pour la Résurrection du Congo" (MARC) and published a "Histoire secrète du Zaïre: L'autopsie de la barbarie au service du monde”.
