Interesting! There were several DRC companies operating on those routes when I was last in the DRC. Flights seemed to be fairly frequent and they seemed to be doing a good job. What has happened to them? How come a South African company can offer a domestic scheduled air service in the DRC?

In short, it is not a code share operation - It is SAX in all but name.
