[00:03:22] It is thus that less than a month after the vibrant
[00:03:25] celebration, the recipient was kind enough to
[00:03:28] respond to our invitation. to talk about two essential
[00:03:32] things, namely his career as a
[00:03:38] the audiovisual director general of journalist working for the national channel for over forty consecutive years and
[00:03:41] his approval of the decoration of which he is
[00:03:45] a beneficiary, exactly 40 years that I have been working as
[00:03:48] a journalist, for it was in
[00:03:51] 1986 that I started working in
[00:03:54] February 1986 and today in
[00:03:57] 2026, exactly 40 years. That said, ladies and gentlemen,
[00:04:01] good evening everyone and welcome to the Esplanade des
[00:04:04] étoiles.
[00:04:09] Ladies and gentlemen, dear agricultural producers, Michel Ducine
[00:04:13] Pombou worked as a state agent for
[00:04:16] national television since February
[00:04:19] 1986, practically until the day
[00:04:22] he revealed himself to the public as a lover
[00:04:26] of rural
[00:04:28] praised, he had the splendor of reporting, sanctifying
[00:04:30] activities of the Minister of Agriculture and the... aspiration of agricultural producers for better tomorrows, 40 years
[00:04:34] of experience, it's a whole story, a whole professional
[00:04:38] life, of
[00:04:40] it goes beyond the limits of communication professionals, I mean tell us about your
[00:04:43] beginnings, so why did
[00:04:46] you choose journalism, let's go back a long
[00:04:49] way, things were
[00:04:52] inspired by destiny, it must be said, because
[00:04:55] I was still in 5th grade at
[00:04:59] college. when I had written a show that was broadcast on
[00:05:02] Radio Congo, which at that time was already called
[00:05:06] La Braza, hosted by Monique Koami, a famous
[00:05:09] host who is no longer
[00:05:13] with us today, she passed away about fifteen
[00:05:15] years ago, she went to the other side of the world,
[00:05:19] so I had written to her to tell her that the
[00:05:23] pleasure I felt in following you and the pleasure you
[00:05:26] would share with me when you received me as a colleague during one of your
[00:05:30] shows because I want to become a journalist like you, I love this profession,
[00:05:34] I adore it and you inspire me, and she
[00:05:36] carefully kept that letter until I received it at
[00:05:40] Escala at Braza at Radio Congo. Uh, and she
[00:05:43] read me the entire letter I had sent, she said that this was
[00:05:47] destiny that inspired you, so that goes back a long
[00:05:51] way in the past, I was still in 5th grade when I decided
[00:05:54] to become a journalist, moreover when I continued my
[00:05:58] studies, I admitted myself to PC and well, I went
[00:06:02] to Pointe Noire to Lycée Victor O'Gagneur and I even started in
[00:06:05] second grade to host shows on Radio Pointe
[00:06:09] Noire and then after that, well, in...
[00:06:12] terminal, we were asked to go to the department of communication sciences and
[00:06:16] techniques, it's like today where there are hundreds and hundreds in
[00:06:19] first year, in our first year there were 19 of us in first
[00:06:23] year, 19 students in first year and in 2nd year
[00:06:26] there were 27 students and in 3rd year there
[00:06:30] were 33 students, that's what we were, in any case, at
[00:06:34] the university level, so we took our time to
[00:06:37] become good, well-trained journalists in the field of general production, given the
[00:06:41] very small number. that responded
[00:06:44] uh, really to the ratio, on the way, well
[00:06:48] uh we obtained a bachelor's degree in
[00:06:50] journalism and automatically uh we were
[00:06:54] integrated into the civil service, let's go back a little
[00:06:57] uh on the academic
[00:07:00] path, how did the orientation happen so that you found
[00:07:04] yourself in
[00:07:07] orientation and scholarships that campaigned among high school
[00:07:11] students in high schools and raise awareness among students who
[00:07:15] are candidates for the baccalaureate to tell them, here are the fields that await you at
[00:07:18] the university depending on whether you are in series A, series D or series C, and we
[00:07:22] as from series A, well there were girls like the
[00:07:26] history and geography department, the foreign languages
[00:07:30] French literature and so on and so forth in this communication technique and I,
[00:07:33] since my choice was on journalism, I had
[00:07:36] inevitably chosen
[00:07:39] to practice as, well, to choose
[00:07:42] the branch that would lead me to STC and that's what happened,
[00:07:46] the orientation done, I was sent uh to STC in
[00:07:50] first year, there you go, it's clear and precise, okay, and
[00:07:52] so and after that you obtained your bachelor's degree in
[00:07:56] journalism, yes it was to become
[00:07:59] level 3 journalists, level 3,
[00:08:02] yes, and level 3 journalists directly integrated
[00:08:06] into the civil service, and so here you are
[00:08:09] landed uh at the national
[00:08:13] Télé Congo and we were put at the disposal of the press for
[00:08:16] information and who organized
[00:08:20] a rotating internship
[00:08:23] in the different fields, there was
[00:08:27] the written press and then there was the press and the
[00:08:30] audiovisual press so we had 1
[00:08:34] month, one month, one month of internship at the end of which they
[00:08:37] decided to send us to either the written press or the
[00:08:41] radio or... to television and it happened that at the end I was put at the
[00:08:45] disposal of audiovisual and the
[00:08:50] was Mr. Firmin Ayessa, DG
[00:08:54] Firmin Ayessa and it was he who took the initiative to
[00:08:58] assign me, he had pleaded his own cause,
[00:09:02] he had said, "Moricus, I only
[00:09:05] dedicate one direction to him, it is to Congolese television because he has an
[00:09:09] oratorical verb that will serve the public and... that's how I
[00:09:13] pleasantly found myself in 1986 assigned to Congolese
[00:09:16] television.
[00:09:21] what happened in 2008 when
[00:09:24] Minister Rigobert Mabout, the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and
[00:09:27] Fisheries, he was looking for
[00:09:29] me to tell me that tomorrow I would be his press attaché, I
[00:09:33] owe this this entire
[00:09:37] gratitude to Minister Boundou who had
[00:09:39] introduced me to the
[00:09:43] Livestock, okay, and with him you worked
[00:09:46] for 8 years, for 8 years and from there was born
[00:09:50] uh the show Étoile des champs, yes, yes Étoile des champs since 2008,
[00:09:54] 2008, Étoile des champs was born, today
[00:09:57] 2000 uh 26, that makes
[00:10:00] uh 18 years that the show
[00:10:03] exists and we broadcast without interruption and the show is well
[00:10:06] accepted, in 2 years we will celebrate in 2028 the 20th
[00:10:10] anniversary of the show then. It's
[00:10:13] Minister Henri Ndombo, yes and well with Minister Henri
[00:10:17] Ndombo, well we will give an international
[00:10:21] dimension, of course, to our
[00:10:23] cooperatives because... I made the request to Minister Jombou
[00:10:27] to say I would like to go with some representatives of
[00:10:30] women's cooperatives to Côte d'Ivoire to learn from the experience of Ivorian
[00:10:34] women because these women produce much more,
[00:10:37] a great number are very advanced in processing while
[00:10:40] ours barely manifest production, the next day he calls
[00:10:44] the Ambassador of Côte d'Ivoire in Brazzaville to tell her
[00:10:47] her, "Here, you will receive my journalist who arrives with a project" and
[00:10:51] the process is engaged and we left with a group of...
[00:10:55] of women representing 12 cooperatives, we went for a
[00:10:59] good fortnight to Côte d'Ivoire, we went around Côte d'Ivoire, we
[00:11:03] went, we arrived in Abidjan, the economic
[00:11:08] next day we went to Musoukro, we went
[00:11:11] to Yamusoro, we went to several
[00:11:14] localities and the memories are
[00:11:17] great.
[00:11:39] but my greatest memory with those mothers is when they
[00:11:43] came to spend the night with me,
[00:11:46] including the Yamoussoukro festival where there were
[00:11:49] Congolese children who were
[00:11:53] there, we had organized a competition uh to recruit
[00:11:57] these young Congolese, we brought them
[00:12:00] there and the leaders of the Ivorian
[00:12:04] educational system told their people that you will receive the
[00:12:07] glued children, they said they are brilliant, but a man at home is a stone,
[00:12:11] make sure you are the best in the results,
[00:12:13] okay, okay and they announce
[00:12:17] the results, first Congolese from Brazzaville, second Congolese from
[00:12:20] Brazzaville, third Congolese from Brazzaville, fourth, fifth, up to the
[00:12:24] 11th.
[00:13:07] arrival under the reign of
[00:13:10] Minister Paulobo, well, he has
[00:13:13] something to say, every day is a great story with Minister Ngobo, Paul
[00:13:17] Valentin Ngobo, the professor, let's get to the point then,
[00:13:21] he is a man who succeeded in...
[00:13:25] giving body and life to the great idea that
[00:13:29] State who complains about the small
[00:13:33] agriculture that is practiced with the small
[00:13:36] wheel there just for a small area of 400 m2, a plot like
[00:13:40] that, it's not this agriculture that should feed the Congolese
[00:13:43] today and Minister Paul Valentin Gobo is
[00:13:47] the one who understood well, apprehended well
[00:13:50] the thought of President
[00:13:53] Denis Sasu Ngesso in favor
[00:13:56] of large-scale production of food for
[00:13:59] Congolese to eat well, to nourish themselves well,
[00:14:02] there you go, and that's what we can say in
[00:14:06] a word and that's what happens in the zones,
[00:14:10] there you go, protected school, people must be accustomed to working in vast
[00:14:13] silos like this where several cooperatives are involved,
[00:14:17] uh when it's when it's few it's 10,
[00:14:21] when it's many it's 20, 25 cooperatives and it works well,
[00:14:25] it works, at least the populations adhere, yes, the populations adhere to
[00:14:28] the initiative, yes, because the production is there but you can't imagine
[00:14:31] what it represents today and a village like in the northern
[00:14:35] part of the country, a village like Oyenze,
[00:14:39] but it's hundreds of millions that are sleeping there, the populations are distributed at
[00:14:43] the end of the sale of the harvested corn and well
[00:14:47] we say you have 105 million but it sleeps there, the village there is the village's
[00:14:50] money, they have but it's
[00:14:53] crazy, huh, in the in the pool at Mini
[00:14:57] there at Luila when they obtained uh
[00:15:00] 18 or 20 million like that, but it's
[00:15:05] understanding at Mayoumina
[00:15:08] when Mayoumina is his number 1 there, but you have to live
[00:15:11] the event to convince yourself, so it's an
[00:15:15] agricultural revolution, we can say that's the appropriate term, it's the
[00:15:19] agricultural revolution, that's the battle of President materialized
[00:15:22] by Paul Valentin Gobo.
[00:15:25] On this day, the show Étoile des champs
[00:15:28] is today 18 years
[00:15:31] old and reigns unchallenged in
[00:15:35] Télé Congo's program schedule.
[00:15:41] Ladies and gentlemen, dear agricultural producers, the
[00:15:43] decoration of Michel Dulcine Pombou, which took
[00:15:47] place on September 4th last, marks a point
[00:15:50] of honor in the life of the laureate. Dulcine
[00:15:53] Pombou decorated on September 4th
[00:15:56] 2026 in
[00:16:00] Livestock, it's more than an honor, it's the
[00:16:03] recognition of a service rendered
[00:16:07] honorably to the nation, I am
[00:16:10] proud and I am happy, fulfilled,
[00:16:13] uh I wouldn't have more than that to say to
[00:16:17] express all my great satisfaction, then
[00:16:20] uh elevated to the title, besides that the
[00:16:24] Minister uh Ngobo uh no
[00:16:27] no it's not the same title hm uh he is Commander
[00:16:31] in the Order of Congolese Merit and I am
[00:16:35] Commander in the Order of... Congolese
[00:16:38] Devotion, these are two different things, so let's come to
[00:16:41] your rank, Commander in
[00:16:44] the Order of Congolese Devotion, what does that mean? It
[00:16:48] means that it is facing
[00:16:51] uh the homeland, yes
[00:16:53] facing the homeland, what commitment can every citizen
[00:16:57] make to serve their homeland, with dignity in
[00:17:00] recognition of the fact that it is the homeland that gave life, it is the homeland that
[00:17:04] raised him, it is the homeland that formulated him, which... for
[00:17:08] his education, watched over his health and in return
[00:17:12] what the homeland expects from
[00:17:16] honorably received it, has the homeland
[00:17:19] honorably received him? That is it, it is therefore
[00:17:22] a dignity towards the
[00:17:26] homeland, it is to take oneself as
[00:17:29] an example at the level of the homeland, that is what
[00:17:32] devotion is, it is to set a good example before
[00:17:36] the homeland, it is a...
[00:17:47] State himself, and so you are there decorated by
[00:17:51] the Chancellor of National Orders, yes, your
[00:17:54] feelings, but this link
[00:18:01] the executive itself, you
[00:18:05] the Federal Republic of Germany.
[00:18:09] the Republic of Austria, Austria, yes,
[00:18:12] Austria and or in Germany, the
[00:18:16] Chancellor is the Prime Minister, he is the head of
[00:18:20] the government, the Chancellor, and in some
[00:18:23] Latin American countries, the Chancellor is
[00:18:27] ipso facto, no, he is directly Minister of
[00:18:30] Foreign Affairs of his country, yes, so you see
[00:18:33] that it's not a paltry person who was decorated, it's...
[00:18:37] him who
[00:18:40] elevates to honorary
[00:18:44] State, it's not just anyone, he is the only one and until
[00:18:47] now he has never been replaced, he is still there, there you go.
[00:18:51] So it's nobility,
[00:18:55] noblesse,
[00:18:59] during the ceremony during the speeches,
[00:19:03] we clearly saw Minister Ngobo, as far as you
[00:19:07] are concerned, emphasize your values for years
[00:19:10] through the emblematic show Étoile des
[00:19:13] champs, to explore our tracks, cross the mud pits and
[00:19:17] face the isolation of villages to give a voice
[00:19:19] to those whom the capital did not see. He
[00:19:23] looked at the Congolese peasant with respect,
[00:19:27] rigor and admiration. Today, while illness is sapping his physical
[00:19:31] strength, we solemnly tell him,
[00:19:34] "No, Dulcine, you are not alone
[00:19:37] in this fight, the entire agricultural family stands by your
[00:19:41] side, your voice, your highly expressive
[00:19:43] gestures, and this unique way of transmitting your
[00:19:47] passion that viewers admire year
[00:19:50] after year remain engraved in our memories, he highlighted
[00:19:54] your values of citizenship, I mean, so what inspired
[00:19:58] him according to you, in a celebration to
[00:20:01] give it splendor and he also
[00:20:05] the event and the...
[00:20:08] the joy of the laureate, he praised and it was the minister who praised
[00:20:12] the laureate that I am, even though he himself is also a laureate, yes, but he
[00:20:16] doesn't appreciate it, he plays his role as Minister of Agriculture
[00:20:19] to appreciate it because he worked with him for 6 consecutive
[00:20:23] years, yes, that's it, he worked with the laureate and so he
[00:20:26] appreciates me rightly so, okay,
[00:20:30] he did well, he found the right striking words, very
[00:20:33] powerful, in fact, even going so far as to your
[00:20:36] recognition. that uh Mr. Ducine, bravo, your dream is
[00:20:40] ensured by Miss Victoire
[00:20:44] Pombou and there you go, your work continues,
[00:20:47] seeing your daughter Dulcine Victoire Pambou,
[00:20:51] take up the torch with determination, shows that the
[00:20:54] seeds you have sown have given rise to a strong and
[00:20:58] proud succession, that's good, and it means that today,
[00:21:01] yes, it means that today you are here being interviewed
[00:21:05] by your offspring, very good, dear colleague, and yes, dear
[00:21:09] colleague, the value awaits for the number of years, huh,
[00:21:12] okay, there you go, thank you very much, what is the moment
[00:21:16] that moved you that day? No, it's
[00:21:20] responsibility, that is to say it's it's an
[00:21:24] elevation to the dignity of
[00:21:26] commander, that's what is very striking and
[00:21:30] I don't believe that the Congolese have fully understood
[00:21:34] this role, now young
[00:21:37] journalists can allow themselves to say, "Well, I want to create a
[00:21:41] show in such a field, a bit the commander's point of view,
[00:21:44] what does he think of what I'm going to
[00:21:47] do, what can he
[00:21:51] advise me? What can be his contribution? What is his
[00:21:54] reflection on my concern?" But
[00:21:57] yes, so you become a reference, a reference,
[00:22:01] solicited, so a consultant,
[00:22:04] perhaps not a consultant, but we are solicited, we are
[00:22:08] it's that he has in society what are called
[00:22:11] safeguards that prevent you from going astray
[00:22:14] on the path to
[00:22:17] advance in an un reassuring way.
[00:22:29] to avoid extravagance, to avoid
[00:22:32] extrapolation, to avoid uh laziness
[00:22:35] and lethargy, observe the
[00:22:39] dynamism required, there you go, in daily
[00:22:42] action, ah that's good, yes, okay, it's a noble
[00:22:45] role, noble, it's nobility, okay,
[00:22:48] and after this... ceremony there, the participants paid
[00:22:52] tribute to you and there
[00:22:55] were some members of your families, some
[00:22:59] collaborators in the service and so there were
[00:23:02] many of them, yeah, and starting with the
[00:23:05] first speaker, I am Ltima, director of the national
[00:23:09] center for agricultural extension
[00:23:14] Cevar, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, a big thank you to the colleagues who have
[00:23:17] been decorated and... to
[00:23:20] our doyen who uh uh has
[00:23:23] been deservedly decorated, it must be said, due
[00:23:27] to the fact that he has been a major actor in
[00:23:31] agricultural extension, so he has made known
[00:23:33] the agricultural profession to those
[00:23:36] who still ignored this profession, so he has given
[00:23:39] a value, a certain nobility to
[00:23:43] this profession, he is a young executive of
[00:23:47] Livestock, he is brilliant, he is very enthusiastic. and breathtaking
[00:23:50] too, huh, uh it's not a way for me to return the favor
[00:23:54] but because he was able to speak truly and justly
[00:23:57] about the fight I led to make known the profession of
[00:24:02] agriculture to those who had no idea and
[00:24:08] agriculture to those but these are young people who are
[00:24:11] in the cities who must return to the land,
[00:24:15] go back to the countryside like this young lady from
[00:24:19] Motamba. uh who says that she came back, she was in the city
[00:24:22] there, but as soon as they heard that there are trees that are
[00:24:26] launched, they came back to cultivate the land, Mrs. Buanga Chanka
[00:24:30] uh I was born in 2006, Bungi,
[00:24:33] uh I grew up here but I went to Pointe
[00:24:37] Noire, I spent 29 years in the city, our group is called
[00:24:40] Bungi Développement, so I am with my brothers and
[00:24:43] sisters, there are 15 of us, but most
[00:24:47] of the people in the group come back from the city,
[00:24:50] so we were in Pointe Noire precisely, we worked
[00:24:54] there, but since the agricultural zone came, we are really proud to
[00:24:58] come back home to the village to come back because it's an opportunity for us, President
[00:25:01] Denisso, thank you for sending
[00:25:05] us the minister who comes to open up work for us,
[00:25:08] we work with feeling, it's really something we
[00:25:11] love because when the president said "return to the land", we didn't
[00:25:15] understand but now we understand that to succeed, to work well,
[00:25:18] you have to work with the land.
[00:25:44] but you have to give them the desire to settle there and work, they must now know
[00:25:47] that it's not in air-conditioned offices
[00:25:50] they should work, it's
[00:25:53] not uh, but it's the body exposed to the
[00:25:57] sun, to the heat, to ant bites, to
[00:26:00] insect bites of all kinds, huh, and... sometimes dusty hands, but these are
[00:26:04] working conditions, but that by doing that they must
[00:26:08] regain the honorability
[00:26:11] of serving their neighbors because they must produce the food that others must
[00:26:15] eat to nourish themselves, and it is in that they are like true heroes of
[00:26:18] the sacred work of the earth, okay, and Étoile de champ
[00:26:22] becomes a cry even to the tutelage it's their slot
[00:26:25] dedicated to talking about showing the
[00:26:29] joys and sorrows of agricultural
[00:26:32] producers on the ground, showing their performance and
[00:26:36] their failures in the field of production, we hide nothing,
[00:26:39] we act in transparency. Justin
[00:26:42] Pombou, who is
[00:26:45] the show, has always been a
[00:26:48] reference for us, it's a show that we
[00:26:51] follow every, every
[00:26:54] week we are hooked to our TV
[00:26:57] screen to watch this show, we
[00:27:01] feel honored because Mr.
[00:27:05] Duzi Pombou had many missions that he organized on our site
[00:27:08] and he promoted our site, in
[00:27:12] addition to that he gave us one of his
[00:27:15] sons who is our general secretary and who animates
[00:27:18] well, so today we are celebrating, we are
[00:27:21] celebrating, we are very happy this
[00:27:24] gentleman whom we call Mr. Tiendo
[00:27:27] Emmanuel is the younger brother of Mr.
[00:27:30] Elota who is the
[00:27:33] the NGO Eden, yes, uh,
[00:27:36] commitment for sustainable
[00:27:39] development, sustainable development and environment,
[00:27:43] that's right, which is operational in Makabandilou where he has his headquarters and where he
[00:27:47] practices agriculture, 10 hectares
[00:27:50] of dedicated land, which is bad,
[00:27:53] by the way I pay him a deserved tribute because uh in
[00:27:57] December of last year 2025, they
[00:28:01] the French embassy to the tune of 25 million to train
[00:28:05] young Congolese people, about a hundred men and women in production
[00:28:08] techniques uh of
[00:28:12] organic fruits and vegetables so ecological,
[00:28:15] that's, that's, that's, that's magnificent, that's it, so I
[00:28:18] encourage them for that yes
[00:28:22] and he knows how to say that in return and...
