Nsele or N'Sele is a municipality (commune) in the Tshangu district of Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
It is situated in the east of Kinshasa, on the Pool Malebo. Nsele is a primarily rural commune, just like its eastern neighbor Maluku on the other bank of the Nsele River. The municipality is renowned for its natural beauty, featuring lush vegetation, forests, and a generally green landscape. The area is known for its ecological significance and serves as a habitat for various flora and fauna.
The municipality has undergone urban development over the past several years.[2] It is home to a growing population, and there have been efforts to improve infrastructure and amenities for the residents. Additionally, the commune benefits from its proximity to the capital, with some residents commuting to Kinshasa for work or education.[3] [4] [5]
