Background: THE NEW GOVERNOR OF THE CENTRAL CONGO, M. BRUNO NDALA, HAS VISITED THYSVILLE, IN CONGO-KINSHASA.

GOVERNOR NDALA WAS GIVEN A BIG RECEPTION BY THE PEOPLE OF THYSVILLE. HE ARRIVED WITH THE STATE INSPECTOR, M. LWAKABWANGA. CHEERING CROWDS LINED THE ROUTE TO THE GOVERNOR'S NEW RESIDENCE.

INSPECTOR LWAKABWANGA, WHO WAS THE PREVIOUS GOVERNOR, INTRODUCED GOVERNOR NDALA TO THE THYSVILLE OFFICIALS. AS A GOOD LUCK TRIBUTE, THE NEW GOVERNOR ACCEPTED A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS FROM A YOUNG GIRL. GOVERNOR NDALA WAS APPOINTED LAST MONTH AFTER A REORGANISATION OF CONGO-KINSHASA'S PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION.
