The Congolese fan known as “Kuka Mboladinga” attracted strong attention during the current African Cup of Nations competitions, after he became one of the most prominent faces in the stands due to his strange way of cheering.
Since the start of the tournament, Mboladinga has appeared in all of his country’s national team’s matches, standing in the same position, without applause, cheering, or even movement, content with complete silence, which raised questions from fans and followers about the secret of this unusual behavior.
The secret of the famous Congolese fan’s silent pose
According to circulating accounts, Kuka Mboladinga was inspired by his method of encouragement from the character of the late Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Congo, who was immortalized with a famous statue depicting him in the same position, in a symbolic sign of steadfastness and steadfastness.
A shocking moment in time killer
During the Algerian national team’s confrontation with the Congo national team, the Congolese fan maintained his silent stance, in a match in which the goalless draw continued until the final moments of extra time.
In the 118th minute, Adel Boulbena succeeded in scoring the winning goal for the Algerian national team, and the moment turned into a strong shock for Mboladinga, who could not control himself and collapsed among the crowd with great emotion, in a scene that received widespread interaction on social networking sites.
Kuka Mboladinga became the talk of the masses, after he embodied in his own way a mixture of historical symbolism and human emotion, adding another exceptional shot to the scenes of the African Cup of Nations.
