SUBJECT: TANGANYIKA DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR SEEKS INVESTMENT 
 
 
1.  (SBU)  Summary:  In a June 17 meeting with Poloff, 
Tanganyika District Administrator Jean Rigobert Tshimanga 
decried the underdevelopment of the giant Katanga district, 
which is bigger than either South Kivu or North Kivu 
province.  He described the major challenges the district 
faces in improving its economic situation and outlined needed 
investments.  End summary. 
 
No power, no port 
----------------- 
2.  (SBU)  Tanganyika's first big problem is that the power 
plant in Bendera (100 km north of Kalemie), which should 
provide electricity to Lake Tanganyika communities and 
businesses, almost never runs.  Societe Interlac, a 
state-owned company, needs a new turbine to make it function. 
 The second major infrastructure problem for Kalemie, and 
Tanganyika province beyond, is the port, which the city 
depends on for everything -- transportation, community 
access, commerce.  According to Tshimanga, the port is silted 
to the point where boats can no longer land.  He said over 
1500 cubic meters of sand must be removed to improve the 
situation. 
 
Tanganyika the Province 
----------------------- 
3.  (SBU)  The new DRC constitution, envisions increasing the 
number of provinces from 11 to 26.  In this scheme, 
Tanganyika district would become a full province within three 
years.  Tshimanga, a member of President Kabila's PPRD party 
with aspirations to the future governorship of his district, 
favors this change and called it a "good idea economically" 
for Tanganyika.  He said that officials will no longer have 
to wait for budget and spending approval to come from 
Lubumbashi.  Allowing that north Katanga is predominantly 
agricultural while south Katanga is driven by minerals, he 
noted that "the north nourishes the south."  The north also 
has important mineral deposits of tin, coltan, and 
cassiterite, now exploited only by artisanal mining, near 
Manono.  Tshimanga said he hopes Tanganyika the province will 
attract new and better development once elevated from its 
current status. 
 
A poverty mind-set 
------------------- 
4.  (SBU)  Not only is infrastructure a problem, according to 
Tshimanga, so is the mind-set of the people.  He said that 
 
SIPDIS 
the population of Tanganyika lacks any sense of management or 
industry and believes the only means of production is 
artisanal.  The youth of the district think Lubumbashi is 
"the place to go" for money, so they leave Kalemie, and no 
one invests there.  Agriculture, he said, is seen as a 
familial task, not a productive enterprise.  Although large 
Belgian and Congolese companies owned commercial agricultural 
interests before the war, the people have always grown things 
(or fished) for themselves and worked for others.  Tshimanga 
believes that for Tanganyika to be successful, agriculture 
must be seen as a vital industry, and agricultural workers 
must be esteemed at the level of other professions. 
 
The solution: Fish, among other things 
-------------------------------------- 
5.  (SBU)  Tshimanga has three ideas for improving the 
economy of the district.  First, Tanganyika must solicit 
commercial investment in fisheries.  He said that there were 
Greek and multinational fisheries in Kalemie before the war, 
but the industry was destroyed.  Boats, cold rooms, and 
transport are desperately needed to resume operations.  He 
claims that Kalemie and Moba (150 km south of Kalemie) 
fisheries could feed the rest of Katanga and neighboring 
provinces and that the big fish in the deep waters of Lake 
Tanganyika are "dying of old age" without being caught. 
Second, Tshimanga would like to see an extension of 
Lubumbashi University to Kalemie, enabling the otherwise 
departing youth of the district to remain for their higher 
education.  Finally, he stressed the importance of the 
rehabilitation of infrastructure, particularly electricity 
and roads.  He explained that Kalemie, with its sandy beaches 
and oceanlike views, used to be a popular Congolese tourist 
destination.  Infrastructure and security must be restored, 
he acknowledged, to revive it. 
 
6.  (SBU)  Comment:  District Administrator Tshimanga's ideas 
for how Tanganyika province can be economically rehabilitated 
have promise.  However, only when the insecurity of the 
district (something he played down) is addressed, can any of 
these idea be implemented.  End comment.
