Politics

The traditional title for a local ruler was kiamfu or kyambvu. During the colonization of Congo in the 1940s, the Kiamfu's represented the political opposition and resistance against Europeans. The heads of the political hierarchy and apparatus of the Kasongo-Lunda have been often forced to flee the area, mainly to the territories of today's Angola.

The territory is divided into Chiefdoms and Sectors:{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401040116/http://rgc.cd/doctech/UNDP-GIS-25_RDC_administratif.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-04-01
