Democratic Republic of Congo president, Joseph
Kabila today Tuesday, February 9, presented the
country's African Nations Championship (CHAN)
winners with a fleet of high-end Toyota Prado.
Kabila handed over the keys to the cars to DR
Congo captain Joel Kimwaki and coach Florent
Ibenge at a ceremony in Kinshasa witnessed by
an AFP journalist.
Kimwali led his team to a one-sided 3-0 defeat
of Mali in Sunday's final in Kigali, Rwanda.
The players and officials were decorated with
Sporting Merit medals at a reception held at the
presidential palace.
"May this trophy serve to forge peace and
stability in our country," Kabila said.
DR Congo became the first country to win the
CHAN, which is reserved for players who play in
the national leagues, twice after success in the
inaugural competition in 2009.
