  African Studies Quarterly Book Review -- Practicing History in Central Tanzania
Kongola’s work can be understood as both hegemonic, in that its’ Swahili language discourse legitimizes the authority of the nation, and counter hegemonic, in that it preserves the distinctly local and intimate.
Kongola’s autobiography is told as a moral exhortation for discipline and perseverance.
Kongola’s writings are based on a genre of clan histories that he performs orally at funerals and which he prepares through his own research.

Ernest M. Kongola, a retired educator in living in Dodoma, Tanzania, has devoted much of the last twenty years to preserving the history of his people, the Gogo.
Maddox demonstrates how the past is constructed by critical actors like Ernest Kongola as part of an ongoing process of constructing the present.
Kongola seeks to place his community, which he defines as family and "tribe," within the context of the Tanzanian nation, within the moral and spiritual order of Christianity, and within a global society.

 Bandits Attack Vehicle in Caprivi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A reliable source on Sunday said the incident took place between Omega and Kongola when a vehicle on which some Namibian Defence Force (NDF) members were passengers arrived late at the checkpoint and tried to catch up with the military escort that left a few minutes earlier.
The NDF conducts two escorts on a daily basis, one at nine o’clock in the morning and another at three o’clock in the afternoon between Divundu and Kongola with a view to prevent Union for the Total Liberation of Angola (Unita) banditry attacks along the Trans-Caprivi Highway.

Chatta wanted to know whether it was true that the police barracks at Kongola are used as a sub-police station, where suspects are detained for days before being transferred to Katima Mulilo.
“Since Kongola is still in the process of being renovated, facilities would not be expected to be in a perfect state,” she said.
The Kongola and Divundu checkpoints are used as a means to control the movement of goods and people between Namibia and Angola to detect illegal activities including suspected stolen goods and illegal immigration.

 BMW Motorrad South Africa
It was strange to think that along some stretches of the road we were less than ten kilometres from either the Angola border or the Botswana border and the region saw intense fighting during the South African occupation of the region.
There was one incident on the road through to Kongola which was very dangerous and quite disturbing as we thought the locals were friendly people; as we rounded a long sweeping bend to the right we saw a row of obstructions across the entire left hand side of the road.
They were resurfacing the road, which was a good thing as I had just driven around a pothole that could have swallowed both my bike and me. The detour was about ten kilometres long but it had been raining earlier in the afternoon and the surface was very slippery with a clay-like surface.
