He was part of the soccer team that became 3th in the African Cup of Nations in 1998. Djuna Mumbafu then dedicated an animation to him and Jean Mukulu in the La Rumba-generique which was about the match DRC - Burkina Faso. I remember also Manda Chante who's a huge AS Vita-fan dedicate an animation about Mamale and Mukulu in the song Tchatcho Mbala.

Unfortunately yes

He was quite young to die 43 years old. Sometimes I wish if the living condition of Congolese people will ever change. If even a famous footballer die like this what about the everyday people? I don't know how politicians can sleep well at night knowing these things.
