majority of the pics minus the KFC "katanga fried chiken" and center garden are from later years.

These seems to be old. There are a lot of new buildings and new roads currently under constructions. Not far from Luano (Airport) there is new development which include: modern shopping mall , office park and residential complex.

Thanks,

Mulopwe

There is already A LUBUMBASHI Photos thread.

Yes, but this is the original as far as I remember, I don't know of another gallery, if so, mods can merge them. :cheers:

Where else have you been?

Lubumbashi is M'bilia Bel's hometown, I haven't been yet to this part of Congo I always thought her hometown was in North Kivu, but was raised in Bukavu. She's Mongo and something else. This is news to me that her hometown is Lubumbashi:lol:

Which mall?? I don't know what kind of construction it is, I went in lubumbashi in september and I took this picture in the downtown... But it don't looks like a mall

not large mall but shopping complex was to be built right in downtown or is it the chinese cell company, my brother informed me that they had taken the postal building or are building next to it. I need to go home and take pictures everybody I ask back home to take pictures tell me they don't have the time to walk around. Are you from Lubumbashi?

Ah là là, Lubumbashi! J'y ai passé cinq mois super! Et c'était ma première expérience en Afrique subsaharienne!
Franchement la RDC me manque... J'y reviendrai sans doute un jour, et je ne manquerai pas de saluer les amis que j'ai laissés là-bas.

I didn't realise they honoured this guy, only in DRC!

Lubumbashi seems well kept, Moise keep up the good work

lumbumbashi look great . these roundabout seam popular in drc and the eac .

I didn't realise they honoured this guy, only in DRC!
The Lunda tribe does (Which is Moise mother's tribe). whereas he is despised by Lubakati.

But yea. only in this country. they even put a little monument of him there.

Lubumbashi has always been kept clean. this isn't just Moise's work. its the people. Even when you goo to Likasi, Kolwezi, these cities are cleaner than Lubumbashi. Even Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani, Butembo, Matadi, Mbuji-Mayi are all clean. just some missing asphalt one most roads.

It seems , Kinshasa is only very dirty city (due to the massive population that sells everything on the streets).

Street vendors are way too many and Kinshasa is over crowded. They need to stop people from selling on the streets. If everyone was in the markets . Kin will be clean like it used to. just a little order. take them street vendors of the streets.

How can those guys praise a snake, a traitor? I couldn't give a .... if the guy was my brother, you just cannot sell out and be honoured for it. Both Kongos' peoples have a long way to go to recover the pride and confidence that it will take to develop, have you seen the whole Brazza monument/museum in Brazzaville? :ohno:

Whilst Kinshasa's street vendors may add to the problem the underlying fact remains that none of the state utilities functions like a normal city, that is the root cause of it all. The street vendors are victims of a corrupt and incompetent system from the top down, we cannot blame them for trying to live when otherwise most of them would be in school.

Kinshasa is just a big disgrace but I don't want to derail this thread by going on and on about my birth city.

This year, the binmen of Amsterdam went on strike for just a little while and check out the pictures of how Holland's premier city was beginning to look, imagine this neglect over a much longer period of time and you have Kinshasa.

He is popular for being one of the pro independence leaders and 1st Black Governor of Katanga.

However; Lots of Lunda people (Moise Tshombe and Katumbi's Tribe) like him because of what he did for the country and the province during struggle for independence.

But the thing about independent Katanga , he was just a Belgian Super Puppet. Because after he had Katanga independent , LubaKati (led by Jason Sendwe) didn't want to stay part of Katanga, so they declared that their Seccession from Katanga and wanted to remain Part of greater Congo:lol:. In this group, (That where Mzee Kabila came out) .

Hence why You hear and see Jason Sendwe streets, Hospitals, schools after him.

The real hero here is Jason Sendwe who fought to preserve 1 Congo.

But let the Lunda people celebrate their here as well. Not that they have more impact than Lubakati who make up (70% of the province).




Thing is. Jason Sendwe (Though Lubakati) is a National here for keeping Kongo one nation.

Tshombe is just a here t Lunda people.

Thank god you here.:cheers:

Though cleaner than Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, too, needs a dose of urban regeneration. It must grow out of its appearance of a small colonial town.

Where did you take this picture from ? Are you a bird ?
Plz allow me to ask you that since there almost no tall towers in L'shi.

there's no need to build tall towers in l'shi because too much green spaces.

Lubumbashi needs to enter modern 21st century. Colony ended 50 years ago.

Just having Downdown Town filled with rotten colonial buildings isn't healthy for the city, country and people.


MODERNISM is the future. Green spaces would still exist. there is what they call Urban, Landscaping planning.

Rightly said Buddy, but how can they build if they're ignorant ? how can they change if Nobody has told them ? And How can they adjust if it seems fine to them ?
Sorry for the questionning, what I meant was just a dirty house will look clean to its inhabitant until he/she pays a little visit to his neighbour's and see how clean it is.

WE HAVE TO BE VERY AMBITIOUS IN LIFE OR ELSE NOTHING WILL EVER BE DONE.

NB: The old pre and post MOBUTU generation HAS TO GO GO GO... before we see a change in the CONGO.

PS: AND congo has to RECALL his Children...DRC has to Recall his genius children from all over the world to BUILD IT.

I wouldn't say ignorant, Lubumbashi Center will be upgraded soon after Luano City completion. I think we can keep Lubumbashi Center as it is, (Old Lubumbashi with colonial architecture, because, first it's not big and second ,we preserve the story of the city (Tourism).

Old Lubumbashi can be preserved. But a brand new Downtown, Modern should be built. In facts every city needs a brand new Downtown.

Sure! It will cost less to build a new city than to rebuild an old one

:bash: Hello Mate, I reply to your posting because you seem to be posting a lot of intersting stuff, especially pictures... thanks for that man.

I was in L'shi in year 2000 on a very brief stay, but I didn't like it as the city is too dusty. A simple walk down the street wearing a white T-shit can be very humiliating as you can end up with a brown one.

The only area I reckon is nice is the only near Gecamine.

There also a very nice little river (stream) by the "camp lido"...nice for a pick-nic
But I managed to pick up a couple of green stones as a souvenir.

Lubumbashi is an underrated city,a hidden gem.Hope i can visit one day-don't know if our two versions of swahili will mesh well or they might mistake me for a zambian.

It's lac Tshombe, they have started to clear out land next to the bar/hotel for residential housing, around that lush green. The owner currently resides overseas.

Nice update ecclesiaste!

Lors de ma dernière visite à Lubumbashi la tour à côté du complex Nkulu n'existait pas et l'Immeuble blanc n'était pas fini! De quand datent ces photos? La ville a l'air assez propre, tu t'y es rendu dernièrement ?

Merci mingi na maupdate ecclesiaste!

Non,LUBUM09,ces des photos d'un Mr qui travaille a kolwezi.ces photos ont ete postee il y a 13jours.Oui,la ville semble propre parceque Mr Oscar Sanguza Mutunda,l'ancien chef de la brigade d'assainissement est l'actuel maire de l'shi.

Je ne reconnais pas l'avenue avec l'immeuble en rénovation sur la dernière photo.

Y a combien d'habitants dans cette ville ?
C'est la deuxième ville la plus peuplée après Kin je pense non ?

At least 2.5 million people. Mbuji-Mayi is the second most populated, then Lubumbashi comes in third. But Lubumbashi is developed, very well urbanized/planned than Mbuji-Mayi.

l'immeuble sur la derniere photo est une nouvelle immeuble dont les travaux ont pris beaucoup plus du temps.construit par un homme d'affaire de la place (kabongo ngoy ).

At least 2.5 million people. Mbuji-Mayi is the second most populated, then Lubumbashi comes in third. But Lubumbashi is developed, very well urbanized/planned than Mbuji-Mayi.

Nah man, Lubumbashi comes second after Kin with 4 million people. It's what i heard from one of Moise interviews

Personne ne connait réellement la population totale de Lubumbashi faute de recensement, on estime la population entre 2 millions et 4 millions, 4 millions me semble un peu exagéré. Les chiffres donnés par Wikipedia sont donc totalement erronés!

Belles photos, l’ecclesiaste. De toute évidence, Lubumbashi a besoin d’une cure de jouvence. Cette ville stratégique qui est également la porte de la RDC sur l’Afrique australe, est restée figée dans le temps. Toute l’infrastructure urbaine rappelle le passé colonial. Bien que potentiellement l’une des plus riches, elle fait figure de parent pauvre des entités urbaines régionales. En matière de développement, Lusaka, Harare, Gaborone, Windhoek, Maputo, sans parler des villes sud-africaines, ont pris plus qu’une longueur d’avance sur Lubumbashi qui semble se résigner à vivre dans le passé. Le contraste avec une ville comme Goma, presque rayée de la carte par l’irruption volcanique de 2002 et qui est parvenue à renaître de ses cendres en un rien de temps, est saisissant. Les investisseurs locaux devraient faire montre de patriotisme et contribuer à la modernisation de la ville par la construction des bâtiments modernes dignes d’une ville du 21e siècle.

Quant à l’Etat, il devrait comprendre que sans l’accès au crédit, les investisseurs nationaux éprouveront des difficultés à participer à la reconstruction du pays. Or, la politique de crédit des banques opérant en RDC relève plus de la prédation que de l’exercice d’une activité commerciale honnête. Crédits à court terme avec des taux d’intérêt allant jusqu’à 25%...
L’Etat devrait profiter de sa nouvelle solvabilité acquise à la faveur de l’annulation de la dette extérieure du pays pour emprunter de l’argent qui servirait à la création d’une banque de crédit à long et moyen terme (dans les conditions du marché international) pour épauler les investisseurs nationaux. C’est à ce prix que la RDC connaîtra une renaissance économique et urbanistique. En attendant, rien n’empêche ceux qui engrangent des millions à la faveur du boom du secteur minier d’investir dans la pierre pour la modernisation du Lubumbashi.

Il est vrai que Lubumbashi a des besoins énormes, premièrement en infrastructure de base (eau routes électricité), mais également investissement immobilier ! Cependant je ne suis pas convaincu par l’idéologie selon laquelle il faudrait reconstruire Lubumbashi à partir de rien et ainsi négliger le centre historique de la ville. Lubumbashi a un patrimoine immobilier issu de la colonisation qui pourrait être réhabilité afin de moderniser ce centre. La réhabilitation de l’institut Kiwele est un exemple de taille de ce qui devrait se passer un peu partout dans cette ville ! Je suis convaincu qu’il y a énormément d’investisseurs de la place qui disposent de fonds nécessaires afin de mener des projets de réhabilitation à bien ! L’exemple de certaines villes Angolaises sont assez marquants car ces villes on su tirer profit de leur passé colonial ! (par exemple Lubango (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=598986))

Je suis partisan de projets tels que Luano City, mais faisons attention à ne pas éclater trop la ville ! Une ville dense est beaucoup plus facile à gérer qu’une ville éclatée !

L'architecture est immense, on peux toujours detruire le centre ville et y construire une architecture unique et original qui ressemble a cellle coloniale. Quand vous regardez le centre ville de Lubumbashi il n y a rien de beaux, les belges construisaient la ville juste parce qu'il fallait y construire une ville. Je pense que le centre ville de lubumbashi doit etre strictement commercial, on devra detruire certains building et y construire des centres commerciaux. Luano city peut etre utiliser pour les offices, les bureaux miniers etc... On conserve quoi avec les constructions colonialles? a mes yeux on conserve rien mais on a l'air d'une ville qui date du 17em siecle.

Raser la ville pour la reconstruire de nouveau serait un acte irresponsable voire criminel. Chaque ville a une histoire, une identité sui generis et les édifices érigés à différentes époques de son développement sont l’élément central de cette identité. La réhabilitation des anciens bâtiments s’impose donc ; cependant, elle ne saurait être suffisante pour développer la ville. Pour des raisons démographiques, économiques et autres, plusieurs édifices ont perdu leur fonctionnalité originelle. Par exemple, un bâtiment abritant la poste construit à une époque où la ville comptait une population de 50.000 habitants ne peut plus remplir la même fonctionnalité dans une ville de 4 millions d’habitants. Il faudrait donc construire un bâtiment moderne qui répond aux besoins contemporains.

Par ailleurs, Luano City est une bonne initiative mais elle ne saurait, en effet, remplacer le cœur de la ville. Cependant, le danger de voir la construction de Luano City conduire au dépérissement de la ville de Lubumbashi n’est pas à négliger. C’est le fléau qui ronge les grandes villes sud-africaines, à commencer par Johannesburg où l’expansion de Sandton City, une zone urbaine périphérique huppée, à provoqué la déliquescence du centre-ville qui est partiellement abandonné aux criminels et autres squatters étrangers. Connaissant l’incurie des autorités congolaises, le risque de dépérissement de Lubumbashi est bien réel.

Between two and four million.
How can they plan anything at city level with such a huge disparity between estimations ?? :ohno:

A quand date le dernier recensement en RDC ?

Thats impossible. to jumb from 1.9 million in 2009 to 4 million in 2011. I remember where he said that 4 million, and 2 1/2 years ago, he said L'shi was 1.9 million. ( Which was then approximately the correct).

If its much, it would be 3 million, not more.

But to jumb from 1.9 to 4 million in just 2 1/2 years? I don't buy that at all.

Let's look at this way, Lubumbashi offers a lot of opportunities in Katanga, Maniema and Kasai therefore MOST of the opportunists from Maniema, Kasai and other parts of Katanga can be found in Lubumbashi. Most of the people from Kin who have an ambition to go South Africa always go to Lubumbashi first then SA. Some of them end up going to South Africa and some of them end up staying in Lubumbashi. Kin has about 9 million people, those people are from different parts of the country and it can be the same with Lubumbashi.

With that we can reach about 4 million of people.

Yes i know there are people from all over the country. Thats not my point though.

My point is; I'm not going to be convinced that Lu'shi jumped from 1.9 million to 4 million in just 2 1/2 years. That doesn't even happen in China , let alone in Congo.

One million in Katuba? Dang have you been in Katuba?, I was there last year and I'm sure its a bit too much for Katuba

4 millions me paraît vraiment exagéré étant donné l'animation relativement "moyenne" qui règne en ville (comparé à Kinshasa), même en tenant compte du fait que beaucoup d'habitants des quartiers périphériques (la Kenya, Rwashi, Kamalondo, Katuba, etc, j'ai eu le temps de parcourir la ville en long et en large) ne se rendent que rarement en centre-ville.
Pour moi la ville ne dépasse pas les deux millions d'habitants.

I would make an estimation in december. If DRC has 65 million people it makes more sense for Lubumbashi to have at least 4 million people since its the second biggest city in the country and one of the 25 fast growing cities in Africa.

La hausse du nombre d'habitants d'un pays n'a aucun rapport avec le nombre d'habitants de ses principales villes! Du moins faut-il compter avec d'autres facteurs comme la rapidité de la croissance de l'urbanisation.

L'animation n'est pas aussi vive que celle de kin mais elle est access vivante a Lubumbashi. 4 million n'est pas impossible dans un pays de 65 million d'habitants.

Et il y a une grande croissance de l'urbanisation a Lubumbashi.

One million in Katuba? Dang have you been in Katuba?, I was there last year and I'm sure its a bit too much for Katuba

Katuba is huge, it has grown. But then maybe that is bit to much but to say less, alot of people reside in Katuba. Alot, I know a doctor building a hospital there he gave an estimate on how many people reside there. Plus Katuba is a huge commune. People were flooded this year. Still pisses me off how a stadium is priority over canals in neighborhoods that are prone to floods. Say it again the FUCK FACE that parted the red sea Chapwe needs to quit.

are you in lubumbashi? and can you please be a little low on the swearing. who is the doctor building the hospital and how big is it?

I don't remember how many rooms but it's more of a clinic for women.

Je ne doute pas que l'urbanisation soit galopante à Lubumbashi (comme dans la plupart des autres villes du Congo), mais dans quelle mesure? Suffisamment pour justifier d'un passage de 1 million d'habitants dans les années 90 à 4 millions aujourd'hui? Comme Butembo, je doute que cela soit possible.
Je me base aussi vraiment sur mes impressions personnelles. 4 millions, c'est presque autant que Johannesburg par exemple! Ce n'est pas comparable. Peut-être me trompé-je? Qui sait.

Et votre argument qui prétend que 4 millions n'est pas impossible dans un pays de 65 millions, je le conçois bien, mais cela ne prouve rien. A titre d'exemple, la France a 65 millions d'habitants elle aussi, avec une capitale à 11 millions d'habitants environ dans l'agglomération. Pourtant la deuxième ville du pays (Lyon) ne dépasse pas les 1,5 million d'habitants.

people forget Katuba is where alot of displaced people setteled during the war. How many kids do you expect those people to have by now.

Peut-etre 4 millions c'est un peu exagerE. Moi je prend du fait que Lubumbashi c'est le seul coin dans l'est, le centre et le sud le plus developper et dont il peut y avoir une grande population.

Oh! if you are in Lubumbashi can you hook up us with recent pictures of the city.

Dear Forum Members,

WOnder if someone will be able to assist me.

I am looking for current construction rates in Lubumbashi, to enable me to price a document, as I have no contacts in the relevant city, I have decided to logon here and ask for assistance.

Please could you either private me should you be able to assist or could you recommend a Quantity Surveyor or contractor that can help.

I look forward to your replies.

Thanks

Hello! I am not quite sure about your estimation but I think Mbujimayi (although not very much urbanised) is the second biggest city of DRC. Not less than 3 million people, to the best of my knowledge...

Lac Kippo it ain't called Lac Tshombe or Karavia anymore?

La statue de Moïse Tshombe est récente non? Je ne me souviens pas qu'elle était là l'année dernière.

Ouais, elle est recente.

C'est tout de même étrange que l'on ait autorisé l'édification d'une statue d'un sécessionniste. Y aurait-il encore des vélléités indépendentistes au Katanga?

You have to ask MBA-Congo, who is claiming to be a nationalist but the same time has plan “B”.

Ask him what is plan B, for a nationalist.

C'est une des grandes figures du Katanga au même titre que Sendwe ou Munongo. Peut être qu'il faudrait relire l'histoire du Katanga et pas seulement de la sécession pour comprendre quel homme il fût! Du moins son rôle dans la province.

Eriger un monument à la mémoire de Moїse Tshombe le sécessionniste peut sembler incongru, voire indécent, au premier abord. Cependant, en toute justice et au nom de la vérité historique, il faut reconnaître à Tshombe une conversion nationaliste réussie. Qui se souvient encore qu’après avoir renoncé à la démarche sécessionniste, Tshombé est devenu le Premier ministre du Congo qui a maté les rébellions et remis de l’ordre dans la gestion du pays, devenant ainsi l’homme politique le plus populaire du Congo ? Bien que ne parlant pas le lingala, Tshombe, Premier ministre du Congo, remplissait le stade tata Raphael (40.000 places), à Kinshasa, terre théoriquement hostile, lors de ses meetings populaires. A-t-on déjà oublié que Tshombe, leader de la coalition CONACO (Convention Nationale Congolaise), avait gagné les élections législatives de 1965 haut la main ? Devrait-on avoir une lecture partielle de l’histoire du Congo et ne retenir que ce qui a marqué la mémoire collective ?

Qui se souvient encore qu’après avoir renoncé à la démarche sécessionniste, Tshombé est devenu le Premier ministre du Congo qui a maté les rébellions et remis de l’ordre dans la gestion du pays, devenant ainsi l’homme politique le plus populaire du Congo

Thank you Puis to say those things many young people don’t know these things. M.Tshombe was the best PM Congo ever has.

The sad thing is people never say anything about dictatorship of Mr Kasavubu, for me Kasav did make too much mistake we are suffer from it now, he shouldn’t remove MT.

Indeed I did not know that bit of his history. Thanks for the lesson Pius.

Effectivement, je ne connaissais pas moi non plus cette partie de l'histoire. La seule image que j'avais de lui était celle du sécessionniste tortionnaire de Lumumba (comme le montre le bon téléfilm "Lumumba").

Ceci a été démenti par la commission Lumumba initié par le Parlement Belge, Moïse n'a pris part à l’assassinat.

Thats what Kinshasa needs to do with it historic buildings in Gombe and elsewhere. Just a renewal and the city will look clean as major Avenues and Boulevards are already getting facelift. In facts that what the whole country must do .

I cannot stand those disgustingly filthy downtowns.

Lido, only time down this streets is when malaria kicks my ass and I ends up at the hospital.

The only problem with Lushi roads is the lack of sidewalks. Pedestrians are forced to walk on mad or to share the road with cars... I never got why they don't think of that! I saw the same problem in Nairobi: nice roads with no sidewalks!!!
