La sape, which won huge acclaim in the 1970 1980s in Congo (ex Zaire) is gaining more and more followers thus forming not only their vestimentary preferences, but also certain mentality and outlook on life. This trend is most evidently demonstrated in the literary works of African writers, whose readership is currently expanding.
