The Kusu are a Bantu ethnic group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are concentrated between Kibombo and Lubao. They once belonged to the Tetela but the Kusu came under the influence of Arab traders while the Tetela resisted Arab cultural domination. Today most Kusu wear Arab dress, speak Swahili and pledge allergiance to Islam. Belgian authorities in the early twenty century placed the Kusu in the Kivu Province and the Tetelas in Kasai Province.
