There is speculation that the owner of one of Africa's top football clubs Moise Katumbi could run for president in the Democratic Republic of Congo in polls due in November. The BBC's Maud Jullien went to meet him in his base of Lubumbashi.
"I know the hope people have in me - I know what is their expectation.
"The problem is we need to sit around a table as big guys to have at least one [opposition] candidate," Moise Katumbi says, as we drive around Lubumbashi, DR Congo's second city.
Mr Katumbi is calling on the country's opposition to unite behind a single candidate, though he hasn't said yet whether that means him.
He has asked me to join him on a tour of the capital of Katanga, DR Congo's wealthiest region, with its vast reserves of copper and cobalt.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
