Authenticité, sometimes Zairianisation in English, was an official state ideology of the Mobutu regime that originated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in what was first the Republic of Congo-Léopoldville, later renamed Zaire.

In addition, Western style attire was banned and replaced with the Mao-style tunic labeled the "abacost" and
