He is not here, He has Risen Indeed!
He is not here, He has Risen Indeed!
Ephesians 1: 19 - 22 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
What do you think about when you think about Easter. Of course, we know Easter is completely a man-made teaching. It is purely religion. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. The word, Easter, does not appear in the Bible in the original text. It appears once in the King James Version and it does not mean the Easter that we talk about today. But we can think about it because the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ is a reality.
1/ This morning I want you, every time you think of Easter, to think of two things.
#1 Salvation from sin,
#2 Power in your Christian life.
2/ Jesus Christ did not die and rise from the dead just so that one day we may dwell in Heaven. Christianity is far more than that. He, through His death, burial and resurrection has provided for us power for every-day living. Many Christians use the excuse—I’m only just a sinner saved by grace, and what can I do about everyday life? I still have these appetites, I’m still just a normal person—I want you to recognize something. Someone who is saved is not a normal person. God has given to that believer something that the rest of the world knows nothing about, nothing that religion can ever provide for anyone.

Les conséquences de la hausse du taux de dollars sur le panier de la ménagère
Différents marchés de la ville de Bukavu

Marché de Nyawera Bukavu
Il s’observe ce dernier temps la hausse du prix des produits de première nécessité sur différents marchés de la ville de Bukavu, suite à la hausse du taux de dollars américains qui ne cesse de monter du jour au lendemain.
Selon le constat fait par votre reporter dans le marché de Nyawera Bukavu ce Mercredi 21 Juin 2023, 1dollars Américain qui se négociait à 2100 Francs Congolais depuis décembre 2022 se négocie actuellement à 2400 Franc congolais. Cette situation affecte bon nombre de la population de Bukavu, le panier de la ménagère et crée une insécurité alimentaire dans plusieurs ménages qui est un problème sérieux qui nécessite solution urgente.
Plusieurs produits de première nécessité à Bukavu sont revus à la hausse par des opérateurs économiques en province du Sud-Kivu, voir même depuis le déclanchement de la guerre du M23 au Nord Kivu, Goma n’approvisionne plus Bukavu en produits de première nécessité.
Par exemple, 25 kg de haricot sont passés de 18 à 28 dollars ; 25 Kg du riz de 18 à 35 dollars (riz de la Tanzanie),1 litre d’essence est passé de 1 à 2.7 dollars américains.
Contacté à ce sujet, le professeur d’économie Augustin Mutabazi, précise que cela est dû à l’instabilité des import-export au pays occasionnant l’inflation des prix des produits de première nécessité sur le marché.
A cela il invite les autorités nationales de la RDC ayant l’économie dans leurs attributions de définir des mesures nécessaires afin de stabiliser l’économie nationale du Pays.
"La République Démocratique du Congo a fini l’année 2022 avec une inflation de 9%, mais en ce cinq premiers mois de l’année 2023, l’inflation est estimée à 30%, donc quelque chose qui coutait 100 Franc Congolais coute actuellement 130 Franc Congolais, c’est une hausse exagérée qui est expliqué" par la dépendance en terme des produits importés de l’étranger, spécialement le carburant et plusieurs produits alimentaires qui impacter naturellement la RDC. Nous appelons nos autorités à redynamiser les politiques économiques du Pays qui passent par l’amélioration des produits en vue de renforcer les exportations afin de lutter contre cette crise", a-t-il dit le Professeur Augustin Mutabazi.

"Cash Power" is a prepaid electricity system, which was installed at Radio Kahuzi Studio about a year ago. It is appreciated by many customers as it does not require the cutting of power lines, followed by needless hours of pleading for the reattachment of the lines days later.

Danny shared, "In order to arrive on time for the Prime Minister's speech, we had to rent a mini bus, but found the road totally impossible to navigate. We had to take a five-hour detour to Kalehe before arriving at the site of the news conference. Given the state of the road, we had to get out and push the vehicle through the bog."

South Kivu Cholera Outbreak
May 24, 2023
Reported by Danny Magadju
Photojournalist / Staff of Radio Kahuzi / BESI
Bukavu, D R Congo
The Province of South Kivu is currently facing an outbreak of Cholera. It is a severe and potentially fatal diarrheal disease caused by a lack of clean drinking water or food contaminated by Vibrio Choleric bacteria. Over the past few weeks, the Province has recorded more than two hundred (200) cases of deadly Cholera, including eight (8) deaths. This is alarming.
According to the Provincial Division of Health (DPS), the commune of Kadutu in Bukavu is the most affected, with more than seventy (70) cases.
This cholera outbreak is likely due to the sewage contaminated water that many of the households used during the REGIDESO water shortage, contaminated by human waste. The region often lacks an adequate sanitation system.
Faced with this situation, the health authorities of the province have taken measures to contain the spread of the disease. Medical teams have been mobilized to provide care to people with cholera and educate communities on the importance of hygiene practices such as hand washing and drinking safe drinking water.
Emergency measures must be strengthened to provide medical assistance and health education so that people have knowledge to prevent the spread of cholera. This cholera outbreak is an urgent reminder of the importance of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.
It is crucial that the government, through REGIDESO and other organizations, invest in the the provision of safe drinking water and good sanitary conditions to prevent epidemics and protect public health.
