Flights to Lubumbashi were operated as a commercial agreement with Wimbi Dera, Wimbi Dera have in-turn done a deal with SA Express to get involved with their "Congo Express" operation. Since SA Express operate Wimbi Dera's other South African frequency Phoebus stopped operating after a month so as not to ruffle feathers. New designations to DRC have been opened up and will be heard sometime in January, SAA have requested more and so have Express, Phoebus requested 4 entries.
With Brazzaville, landing rights were only approved 3 months ago by the Congo authority, The plan was to link the 3 cities, Congo still needs to send inspectors to inspect the South African facilities.
West Africa is actually "Benin", direct competition to Interair but mainly operating out of Brazzaville with "Congo Airways"
Everybody knows that operating in africa takes time. The white man has the watch, but the congolese have all the time.
So to answer the question simple, No, Phoebus Apollo are not in trouble again.
