Life

Christophe Munzihirwa Mwene Ngabo was a Democratic Republic of the Congo prelate who served as the Archbishop of Bukavu and was a professed member of the Jesuits. Munzihirwa served as the coadjutor and later as the Bishop of Kasongo and he was a vocal supporter of human rights in the face of the conflict that claimed his own life. He studied social sciences and economics abroad before returning to his native land where he served as a parochial vicar and spiritual director all prior to his episcopal appointment.
