Living Statue Arrives at World Cup After Ebola Delay
24 Jun
Summary
- Famous living statue made World Cup debut Tuesday.
- He posed as Patrice Lumumba at Africa Cup of Nations.
- Ebola quarantine delayed his arrival at the World Cup.
Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, famously known as Congo's living statue, made his much-anticipated World Cup debut on Tuesday. Mboladinga gained widespread recognition during the Africa Cup of Nations for his continuous portrayal of Congo's assassinated independence leader, Patrice Lumumba. He remained in character as a statue for the entire duration of Congo's games during that tournament.
His appearance at the World Cup, specifically for Congo's match against Colombia, occurred after a delay. Mboladinga was unable to attend Congo's opening match against Portugal. This absence was a direct result of mandatory Ebola quarantine protocols, which he had to adhere to.
