A canopy overhanging a stage built for Pope Francis in a Kinshasa stadium collapsed overnight during a heavy storm days before he is due to appear there for a public event.

Francis is scheduled to arrive in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday afternoon and address young people and catechists in the Martyrs’ Stadium in Kinshasa, the capital, on Thursday morning.“It’s the structure and the gyproc decoration that collapsed but the podium is still in place and work is underway to get everything back in order,” he said.Pictures posted on social media showed one side of the canopy resting on the stage while the other side was still aloft.

Reporters were not allowed into the stadium on Monday. Troops from the Garde Republicaine, an elite military unit in charge of protecting the Congolese president and state institutions, were guarding it during the repairs. Interior minister Daniel Aselo Okito visited the stadium on Monday as part of a tour of venues that will host the Pope and said in a statement he expected the repairs to be finished in time for Thursday’s event.
