Kasaï is one of the 21 new provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Kasaï and Kasaï-Central provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Kasaï-Occidental province.[2] Kasaï was formed from the Kasaï district and the independently administered city of Tshikapa which became the capital of the new province.
