‘The soul of the city’: can #Kinshasa’s last remaining baobab tree be saved?
"The baobab stands on a plot of land next to the main ferry port, ... Until last year, a popular fabric market was centred on the old tree. But the site is now closed off and the first signs of building work are visible...
In August, diggers arrived at the site, prompting Mangalibi and other activists to turn up and block the construction work, saving the tree just in time"
