Matata's lawyer told Reuters news agency that the ruling was unfair and politically motivated.

Matata, who campaigned against DRC President Felix Tshisekedi in the 2023 vote before dropping out, has consistently denied the charges.

Matata finished third, while the Willie Mullins-trained El Fabiolo fell on the second circuit.

This ‘Lion King’ prequel from ‘Moonlight’ director Barry Jenkins doesn’t have a ‘Hakuna Matata’ ear worm, but Lin-Manuel Miranda’s songs are pretty terrific.

They aren’t built for bombast, and none are as in-the-moment ear-wormy as “Hakuna Matata,” although there’s a slithery villain’s ditty by Mads Mikkelson that became my favorite once I came around to the lyrics: “Cause I’m gonna be / the last thing you see / before you go / bye-bye.”
