Bobi Ladawa, the
wife of Mobutu Sese Seko who led Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo: RDC)
has confirmed that she is willing to return to her country, but first she will
be given a house because she does not want to live in a shelter.
Bobi Ladawa, who
has been living in Morocco since 1997 when her husband was overthrown, said
that as long as she is guaranteed a house in Congo, she will return.
He announced this
to the Prime Minister of that country, Judith Suminwa, who visited him on
Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
He said, “I told
the Prime Minister that when I return to Kinshasa, I want to stay in my house.
I don't want to stay with my family or in a hotel.”
Ladawa, 80, was
Mobutu's wife for 17 years until 1997 when Mobutu was ousted from power. They
then fled to Morocco, where her husband landed in September 1997, where he is
still buried.
Mobutu ruled
Zaire for 32 years.
