Fizi Territory

Fizi Territory is a territory located in the southern part of South Kivu Province, in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It spans an area of approximately 15,864 square kilometers and shares borders with Uvira Territory to the north, Mwenga and Shabunda territories to the west, Kalemie Territory of Tanganyika Province to the south, and Lake Tanganyika to the east, beyond the Ubwari Peninsula.

The territory is predominantly inhabited by the Bembe people, although it is characterized by considerable ethnocultural diversity. Smaller ethnic communities such as the Babuyu, Babwari, and Bazoba also reside in various villages throughout the territory. Administratively, Fizi Territory is subdivided into four sectors: Lulenge, Mutambala, Ngandja, and Tanganyika. Its economy is primarily driven by agriculture, fishing, livestock farming, and artisanal mineral extraction.
