The University of Kinshasa's Sports Department launched a sports day on August 1, 2024, entitled "Sports for All." The event aims to encourage staff, students, and residents of outlying neighborhoods to come together and participate in various sports activities.
The Rector, Professor Jean-Marie Kayembe Ntumba, expressed his joy at seeing young participants and adults come together to celebrate sport. His presence testifies to the importance attached to this day within the framework of the educational and social values advocated by the university.
Professor Betty MIANGINDULA MABENZA, Director of Sports, highlighted the multiple benefits of sports activities on physical and mental health. She also stated that the best athletes will have the honor of representing the eldest daughter of Congolese universities both nationally and internationally.
It is essential to note that this initiative also includes people with disabilities, thus demonstrating the University of Kinshasa's commitment to inclusion and diversity in sport.
