The Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tony Mwaba Kazadi, has mistakenly impregnated his Deputy Minister, Aminata Namasia.
It was reported that Kazadi impregnated Namasia, and he allegedly confessed to the “unethical romance” with his subordinate.
While many understood that such an act could be seen as inappropriate, Kazadi has described the pregnancy as “accidental.”

Reports stated Kazadi and Namasia were married to other people. A journalist Lungila John revealed their affair on Twitter.
Aminata was appointed to her position on April 12, 2021, under Prime Minister Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde’s cabinet.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister has demanded that her privacy be respected in light of the rumours.
She said on Twitter:
“Beyond my official and public duties, I have a life that must be respected by all. A right guaranteed to all Congolese by our Constitution. Tarnishing my image should not be a tolerated habit.
“Indeed, it could harm not only my commitments, but also the image of my married male colleagues and their homes.
“On the eve of the electoral contests scheduled for December of this year, political detractors can attack my opinions and political actions rather than opting for practices tending to smear my person.
“It should be noted that a certain sensational press has hammered since last Tuesday on the fact that this ministerial authority would have had romantic relations with another personality who would be in conflict with another person who maintains the same type of relationship with the vice- minister.
“For a certain opinion, this is a strictly private life that must be respected at the risk of undermining human dignity.”
