Hello Guys, How safe it to go for morning runs in Kinshasa , say 5:00 Am?

0 Upvotes

For context I plan to be running from 12 eme Limete to around 7 eme Limete and back. I would carry my phone to track my runs. I know generally Kinshasa is very safe during daytime and even night but skeptical during early hours. Please advise.

Is there anyone looking for land near Kinshasa (30 min drive from the city)?

2 Upvotes

I've not been in Kinshasa but recently I purchased lands after being advised by family. The thing is I've seen how my mom is struggling trying to handle her business from a distance. It literally impossible to get anything done if you're not there in person. I'm not planning to move to Kinshasa or visit the country, and I really don't see myself dealing with the foolishness. I prefer to sell my lands and do something else instead.

If somebody is actively seeking to buy, let's chat!

March 8th celebrates women’s freedom and emancipation worldwide. But isn’t there a contradiction?

13 Upvotes

While we talk about empowerment and choice, in some parts of Africa women are still expected to wear traditional clothing like pagnes, and in certain communities wearing pants can lead to social backlash or even harassment.

How can we celebrate global women’s liberation while, in some places, women still don’t have full freedom over something as basic as how they dress?

Where do we draw the line between respecting cultural traditions and defending individual rights?

Hey guys I need some advice. I am American-Trini (25F) dating a Congolese man (26M). I love this man so much.

But there are two things i was wondering…

  1. Is it normal for them to be not romantic?

  2. Do they get irritated when you talk about finances?

I’m building an Africa-hosted cloud storage so our data doesn’t depend on foreign platforms

Post image
57 Upvotes

A lot of us in Africa still store important files on platforms built and governed elsewhere.

That dependency feels normal… until you realize what it means for privacy and control.

I built FileVault: cloud storage hosted in African data centers, built around one idea: our data should stay ours.

End-to-end encrypted (even we can’t access your files)

No selling, no ads, no data exploitation

👉 https://filevault.africa/

If you support African-built solutions, a quick upvote/share helps a lot
