Biography
Agathe Pembellot, from Republic of Congo, was born on 21 May 1942 in Pointe-Noire, capital of Moyen-Congo, by then. She is the second youngest of nine children, founded by Anaclet Pembellot (1908, Tandou Mboulou - 2003, Pointe-Noire), attendant to the national telephone company; member of the clan Princely House of the Boulolo of Vista.[1] (Loango) and by Anna Bouiti (1920, Brazzaville - 2004, Pointe-Noire), farmer of clan Tchiali[2] and eldest daughter of six children Bouiti.
Agathe Pembellot's maternal grandparents are Jacques Bouiti I (1895, Diosso - 1958, Pointe-Noire), master-tailor and, dedicated dresser of the staff of CFCO (Chemin de Fer du Congo Océan) - the national railway company - and Eugénie Soungou Makaya (1901, Diosso - 1985, Diosso). Her paternal grandparents are Thomas Pembellot (1883, Sao Tome - ?), a translator and a master-tailor and Lélo Koutana (? - ?).
The Boulolos and Tchialis, are part of the twenty-seven primordial clans of the former Kingdom of Loango.[3][4] Nowadays, one of the very populous neighborhoods of the district n°4 Loandjili of Pointe-Noire, the economic capital of Republic of Congo, still bears the name of Tchiali, because they were former landowners.
Agathe Pembellot has been married to Auguste Mambou (1941, Pointe-Noire - 2015, Pointe-Noire), former national deputy director and former regional director of customs and excises, with whom she had five children.
