40,000 megawatts, enough to 

power all of Africa and Western 

Europe when the project will be 

at its peak!

Malkia means queen. Among 

the inspiring queens of Africa, 

Ana Nzinga is known for her 

beauty and her political, military 

and diplomatic skills. The story 

goes that she was born with the 

umbilical cord wrapped around 

her neck, predestining a noble life 

and that her father, an important 

king, authorized her to assist him 

in ruling the kingdom. In line with 

its historical elements, note the

overlapping bias strips.

Ebonga also means chair on which 

the chief sits, and is a symbol 

of dignity and strength.The two 

vertical lines at the front and rear 

of the throne like those of the dress 

inspired by it represent the four 

areas of concern for the human 

being: family, social, professional 

relationships, career and the secret 

garden. Zympala was inspired by 

this noble and everyday ancestral 

object.The round neckline of the 

dress recalls the graceful and 

sophisticated elegant design of this 

stool used by dignitaries.
