Tshangu is an area of the capital city of Kinshasa, Democratic [Republic of the Congo], comprising five of the city-province's twenty-four administrative divisions—the communes of Kimbanseke, Maluku, Masina, Ndjili and Nsele. It is one of the four so-called districts of Kinshasa. These were the administrative divisions of Kinshasa during much of the Mobutu [Sese Seko|Mobutu] years and around which a number of government systems and services are still organized. For instance, Tshangu makes up an eighteen-member National Assembly of the [Democratic Republic of the Congo|National Assembly] constituency designated as Kinshasa IV. However, these districts are not part of Congo's Subdivisions of the [Democratic Republic of the Congo#Territorial organization|territorial organization].
