by Keri Leicher, Consultancy Africa Intelligence, South Africa - One of Africa’s largest and wealthiest nations in terms of natural resources, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is currently gearing itself to host multi-party elections on 27 November 2011, only the second of its kind since the country gained independence some fifty years ago. Whilst high expectations surround the event, calls of foul play have already been heard as many claim that the elections have become a one-man game, as current President Joseph Kabila seeks to entrench his power.
