DR Congo: Leopards observe a minute of silence in memory of cyclist Miguel Masaisa

The DR Congo Leopards observed a one-minute silence on September 24, 2026, at Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa, in memory of Congolese cyclist Miguel Masaisai, who died in a traffic accident on September 18 in Ouesso, Republic of the Congo. Masaisai, from Goma, had launched the 'Pedals for Peace' project in May 2026, aiming to cover nearly 14,000 km across Africa. His journey took him through Kinshasa and the Republic of the Congo, where he died after a bike breakdown and a collision involving a taxi carrying two other passengers. His death prompted tributes, including from North Kivu governor Somô Kakule Evariste.
