Two suspicious deaths attributed to possible food poisoning occurred on Friday, August 9, 2025, in the village of Busawa, located in Mwenga Centre in South Kivu province.
These deaths concern two members of the same family, according to local civil society, which is calling for a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of death.
Mukamba Milenge, interim coordinator of this civic structure, points out that this is the third similar case recorded in this village in a few months, with other families including Masumbuko Atongoka, Machozi, and Maman Sabuwa, also affected by suspected deaths from food poisoning.
He calls for solidarity from the population and respect for the right to life, while warning of the need to act to identify the potential perpetrator of these acts, suspected of operating in the region.
This situation fuels strong mistrust among the local population, who fear voluntary contamination or a series of disguised crimes.
In this context, civil society urges provincial and judicial authorities to conduct an investigation in order to put an end to this cycle of worrying human losses.
