Unfortunately there is aren't any footage of his interviews when he used to work for Tele Zaire and Antenne A, only a short extract of him interviewing Adolphe Dominguez and Bill Clinton Kalonji after their show at l'Esplanade de Palais du Peuple and a short interview with late Marie Misamu. There are a few videos on youtube of his interviews at he made the last 10 years in Europe. Ilunga Mwana Mbute went back recently to work for president Felix Tshisekedi. He surely got poised like the many collaborations who passed away the last 4 years.

I remember Congolese artists used to chant his name all the time. I mean during the 1990s and 2000s era.

Sad. It’s truly sad that we hardly hear of these individuals these days. Congolese music needs to wake up.

This really hit me today RIP. He was so intelligent and humble to hear and read from growing up. So the last of the great journalist is Manda Tchebwa now..Lukunku Sampu, Bolowa Bozakwa, Lukezo Luansi, Michel Lady Luya, Ngimba Lelo, etc atiki bisso now

Journalism in the genre is now a mockery

You are right but there are few exceptions. One of them is Marcel Landu. He is actually a good journalist. His Sekele tv show is more informative than other journalists.
