This was the era of the Bana Lunda who where Congolese peoples who left Zaire to settle in the dangerous Lunda Sul & Norte provinces, (who where under control of Unita) to find diamonds in the hope to become rich. This was due to the corrupt and bad management of Zaire by Mobutu's MPR-regime, who killed the economy and education of the country. Many Congolese peoples who tried to go to Lunda where killed or kidnapped by the Unita-soldiers. J.B. Mpiana even sung a song about it.
