Marie-Clémentine Anuarite Nengapeta was a Congolese nun of the Sisters of the Holy Family who lived from 1939 to 1964. Born in Wamba, she entered religious life in 1959, serving her community as a teacher, cook, and sacristan. During the Simba revolt, a civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she was targeted by rebels who suspected religious orders of cooperating with foreigners. She was killed in Isiro after resisting sexual advances from a military officer, making her a martyr for her faith and her integrity.
