The immortality of the Lega ancestor - Amani Mupenda Mubigalo - Bog

The immortality of the Lega ancestor is justified by the cultural values embodied by his notability, of which Mzee Kalimu Lukundji Venant is one of the typical characters of this class, which reflects the presence of the latter in our time.The immortality of the Lega ancestor is a revealing tool of the ancestral leadership choices in the Lega family, a people who had been able to develop such subtle balances, within themselves, and with nature, could have disappeared into the dustbin of history. However, to see again a whole exhibition on the Balega, their art, their civilization and their political organization of a people without king nor policeman has therefore something miraculous and nostalgic. The biography of Kalimu Lukundji Venant reveals not only the presence of the Lega ancestor in the midst of this new generation, but above all the mystery of the choice of notability among the Lega people and the intelligence of the balance of adaptation of the ancestral culture to that of the contemporary.
