Kody, Mourade Zeguendi, Pierre Kompany, Soufiane Bencok, Pierre Migisha… are Belgian artists, sportsmen or politicians of Congolese or Moroccan origin. La DHin collaboration with PPP Communication, has decided to bring them together – capsules to follow on the social networks of La DH – to carry out the match before the match between the DRC and Morocco. The first leg takes place this Friday in Kinshasa and the return next Tuesday in Casablanca as part of the play-offs for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. “No major Belgian channel broadcasts this crucial match, although they are the two largest communities in Belgium.deplores Pierre Kazadi, event organizer. So I see this initiative as a solution. Because we have to stop focusing on our communities only when things are going badly.”

Of Congolese origin and from a family of diplomats, Pierre Kazadi knows what he is talking regarding and highlights two sadly famous events that had stigmatized the two communities. Namely, a Morocco match that caused a lot of damage in downtown Brussels a few years ago and the Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. “Our ties do not need to be tightened, we are two communities that respect and appreciate each other. And these personalities are living proof that there are not only thugs. They are even examples to which the youth identifies itself.” Through his action, Pierre Kazadi hopes tFind a concrete way to change the way we are represented. Football has this ability to bring us all together and show that diversity is an enrichment.nt .
