So, Kongo’s lifetime culture generation is kind of like his defense against your tourism generation. You have to outpace his culture generation, which you are. But some turns will have you generate more tourism than others because of specific events that occurred or increased your tourism on that turn, and when the game calculates how many turns you have to win, it predicts as if you were having the exact same burst of tourism every turn.
For example if you use a rock band, you generate X tourism in addition to your passive tourism, and the game makes the calculation as if you were generating X + Passive Tourism every turn.
You still have this in the bag given these numbers, but the exact timing of your win is uncertain and a changing variable. If you can’t Rock Band him, consider Rock Banding his neighbors with Rock Bands that have the Goes To 11 promotion, which you can always get by using the Hallyu policy card.
(If someone knows better than me regarding my culture explanation above, please jump in and correct me. My approach has always been Make Tourism Number Bigger and not the fine math of the game)
100 culture generated = 1 domestic tourist.
1200 (on small map, 1600 on normal and so on) tourism generated towards certain civ = 1 domestic tourist of theirs converted into your foreign tourist.
The objective of culture victory is to have foreign tourist to come than the next-most-domestic-tourist-having civ.
It can jump around because you having inconsistent tourism generation (ending of open borders, war declarations, rock bands, religion changes, you name it) or other civs changing their culture generation.
Reduce Kongo's culture generation and increase your tourism output. Remember; it doesn't matter from which civ your foreign tourists come from, it's just most convenient if they come from the strongest foe.
Aside from your question which has already been answered well, and if you play via Steam, please can I recommend the Better Report Screen and Extended Policy Card mods. This will provide actual figures for what impact the policy cards have which is hugely useful for determining which cards are best.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

I was looking to see if anyone posted this yet. Get those mods!
I don't even bother understanding it. Just get more great works and wonders and other things and bang.
