The Mysterious Life Behind DR Congo’s Enigmatic ‘Living Statue’ Michel Nkuka Revealed
Lumumba served as the first Prime Minister of the First Congolese Republic, and had a statue erected in 2002 in Kinshasha.
The politician was assassinated in 1961, after serving as the leader of the Congolese National Movement for the three preceding years.

The living statue gained notoriety during 2025’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament, as DR Congo made it to the Round of 16.
Hilariously, or tragically, Nkuka fell in a similar fashion to when Woody hears Andy’s footsteps in Toy Story, as Algeria scored a 119th-minute winner.
