Mohamed "Mémé" Gasana Tchité (born 31 January 1984) is a footballer who plays for Belgian club R.W.S. Bruxelles as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career in Belgium, with Standard Liége, Anderlecht, Club Brugge and Sint-Truiden, and in Spain with Racing de Santander.
Tchité was born and brought up in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, but his parents hailed from neighbouring Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He started his footballing career with local AS Rangers FC – later named Dragon Super Rangers FC Nyakabiga. He joined Prince Louis FC in 2001, winning the Burundi Premier League and the Revelation Footballer of the Year award, and also being the finalist in the Kagame Inter-Club Cup; in 2002 he left for Mukura Victory Sports FC in Rwanda, where he would be noticed by scouts from Belgium's Standard Liège.
In 2003, Tchité arrived in Liège, where he became a regular member of the first team, scoring 21 goals in 58 matches during his three years with the club. In 2005–06 season, he netted 16 times in the Belgian First Division to help his team finish as runners-up to R.S.C. Anderlecht, and that tally put him second in the goalscoring list behind only Tosin Dosunmu of K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot; at the end of the following campaign, he was named Belgium's Professional Footballer of the Year, also being the recipient of the Belgian Ebony Shoe.
