“The DRC has a father and a mother”, Marcelo Tunasi

Congolese pastor Marcello Tunasi expressed his gratitude to those who showed him affection, notably the presidential couple after the tragic death of his wife.

After 40 days of mourning following the death of his wife, the man of God, in a message shared on his Facebook page on Monday, July 22, expressed his deep gratitude to the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi, and his wife, the First Lady, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, for their considerable support during his painful ordeal.

“After this profound bereavement, I would like to thank all the members of the government and particularly the presidential couple of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr Félix Antoine Tshisekedi and Mrs Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, for their unfailing support. My children and I were very touched by this great sign of love and affection. I can say that the DRC has not only a politician at its head, but a father and a mother. May God bless the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and may he grant us the strength to unite and lift up this great nation. By God’s grace, we are rising again,” reads the letter.
