Granitoid bodies dated from the Late Mesoproterozoic intrude the Palaeoproterozoic cover of the northern edge of the Congo craton. They line up a north-south left-lateral shear zone related to the Late Kibaran tectonics. They originated from crustal melting, may be due to the thermal anomalies, that were responsible of the large basaltic production during the pre-Pan-African extension of the Central Africa rift system.
