In its time, our organ had alerted the public to the heartfelt cry launched by Marie Branser, double African judo champion. We pointed out that the gloomy situation that Congolese judo is going through was not favorable for the future of Marie Branser. The crisis situation within the Congolese National Judo Federation has serious repercussions on the careers of judokas such as Marie Branser. All the activities of Fénacoju are at half mast. The judokas no longer know which saint to devote themselves to. They do not participate in international competitions. Marie Branser was eager to resume competition and defend the colors of the DRC after her participation in the Tokyo 2022 Olympic Games. However, she wanted to be entered in the competitions. But all his letters addressed to Fénacoju, COC and Ministry of Sports remained unanswered. Faced with this impasse, Marie Branser wanted to be clear. She arrived in Kinshasa on Tuesday March 29, 2022. Her coach Petru is accompanying her.
A small delegation of DRC masters led by Me José Mbuyulu, 1is V/P was at the airport to greet them. On the spot in the country, she will meet the officials of the Congolese National Judo Federation, those of the Congolese Olympic Committee ”COC” and of the ministry in order to plead her case. On Wednesday she saw Me Alain Badiashile from the COC. She wants to be reassured that the DRC no longer wants her or simply tell her to change countries. She will train this Thursday, March 31, 2022 with the masters at the Congo / Japan Dojo located within the ISP / Gombe compound. The press release signed by the 1is Vice-president of the masters specifies that the wearing of clean judogi is required of all participants. A certificate of merit will be awarded to Marie Branser.
