Item Baswahili and Bato ya Mangala: Regionalism and Congolese diasporic identity in cape town, 1997-2017(University of the Western Cape, 2022) Vuninga, Rosette Sifa; Israel, PaoloMy research is on regionalism among Congolese migrants of South Africa with the focus on the tensions between Baswahili (Kivu inhabitants) and Bato ya mangala (Kinshasa inhabitants) in the city of Cape Town. The two groups incarnate the geopolitical East and West of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), respectively. I locate the tensions between these two regional groups in Cape Town in the DRC�s politics as well as that of the host country, South Africa. In the DRC, the tensions between Baswahili and Bato ya mangala are rooted in the identity politics and discourse of the post-Mobutu era, mainly that which emerged from the major events that have shaped the dynamics of the DRC�s crisis since the late 1990s.Item Th��tres and mikilistes: Congolese films and Congolese diasporic identity in the post-Mobutu period (1998-2011)(University of the Western Cape, 2012) Vuninga, Rosette Sifa; Israel, Paolo
