Synopsis:

The wealthy Congolese businessman, Moïse Katumbi, is not only governor of the African province of Katanga, rich in precious minerals, but is also president of the famous football team «Le Tout puissant Mazembe». The media, football, politics and business are the ingredients of the cocktail concocted by this new African messiah named Moïse. He is the symbol of this new leadership that gains power through ballot boxes and elections, as well as being a symbol of a democracy based on business and populism. A rival of the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila, will Moïse one day be elected president?

Moise Katumbi Chapwe is an Italian Sephardic Jew on his father's side and a Congolese on his mother's side. He is the Congolese personality who most strongly symbolizes African revival. He is a businessman controlling many compagnies and, since the first democratic elections of the RDC Congo, he is the gouvernor of Katanga, a region as big as France and a veritable treasure house of raw materials essential. For many Africans, he represents the new providential politician, capable of raising the Katangans out of their poverty, in the manner of the biblical Moses, whences he draws inspiration. Moise Katumbi is rich enough not to have to pillage his province, he regularly uses football and television to reinforce his popularity.
