Haut-Katanga District (Upper Katanga District) is a district located in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The copper mining centers of Lubumbashi and Likasi are surrounded by the district but are administratively separate.
Historical province
From 1963 to 1966, the area was constituted as Katanga Oriental. In 1966, it was merged with the former Lualaba Province to create Sud-Katanga, and was then merged into the new Shaba Region. Presidents of Katanga Oriental were:
- 13 Aug 1963 - 20 Jul 1965 Édouard Bulundwe (b. 1932)
- 20 Jul 1965 - 24 Apr 1966 Godefroid Munongo (s.a.)
Proposed future province
Haut-Katanga district is part of a proposed Haut-Katanga Province to be established when the country's new constitution was implemented, originally slated for February 2009.[1] The new province was to include the current district and also the cities of Lubumbashi and Likasi, with Lubumbashi as its capital.[2] As of October 2010, the new province had not come into existence.[3]
