Have you ever re-gift someone? Occasionally, you may receive something that's just not you. You wrap it up and give it to someone who can really use it.
In Congo, re-gifting is not practiced. If you were a Congolese, you can use everything at some time. Therefore, it is a matter of saving it until you can use it.
Tons of broken stuff is another unique factor to Congo and many Africa countries. If you were a Congolese, you would keep everything because one day it may be repaired. So, it is a matter of saving it until you can find someone to repair it.
