Bandalungwa (often abbreviated "Bandal") is a municipality (commune) in the Funa district of Kinshasa in the western region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).[3]
Its northern portion is occupied by the military barracks of Kokolo, whose buildings prominently display traditional Flemish architecture. The barracks are separated from residential areas such as the "Block" by Kasavubu Avenue.
