IT’S A DEMOCRATIC THING TO MOVE ON, SAYS CHIEF MOB OF RNC JOBURG BRANCH, MR HESRON MUKIZA.

Johannesburg – Speaking to Chief Mob of RNC  Johannesburg branch Mr Hesron Mukiza, for him seeing members of political parties choosing to opt out,  sees it as a democratic thing to move on rather than dragging your feet trying to save something that is not working.

Talking about his role in the RNC as Joburg Chief of mobilization, he shared some of the challenges he faced during the initial phase of RNC Africa Chapter. “The challenges that we faced in the start, people were not prepared, most of them were skeptical. Just the thought of hearing that RNC as a party for all ethnic groups, was something that Rwandese didn't see coming. ” Said Mukiza.

“We are advocating for unity. Where people (Hutu, Tutsi and Twas) share ideas, speak freely. Unlike in Rwanda where people are accused of saying what’s on their mind and later are accused of Genocide Ideology”. Added Mukiza.

For him solidarity is a way of life. As party of bringing together Rwandese living in exile, he gave an example of how people continue to unite. “during the first court appearance of Lt Gen Kayumaba Nyamwasa at the Westgate Magistrate Court, in Johannesburg, South Africa people came in numbers and showed their support”.

“As a way of mobilizing people, we did a lot of work. People continue to show their support to our activities as well as to our fellow comrade Kayumba Nyamwasa in his court case appearance. This shows you how people no longer have issues with regards to ethnicity. People are just tired of killing regimes”.

Asked how far RNC has gone in mobilizing people. He said in Kinyarwanda “ijya kurisha ihera murugo” meaning “you first start at you house, before going out“.  “In the first year we made sure we mobilized people around us, those living in South Africa.  I can only speak for my Branch. I think on a broader scale, my superiors are the ones to give you a better picture”.

He warned those that still have a question of whether RNC is a one man party. “Objectives and Values of RNC are well defined/ known and they are readily available. RNC is for you and me, we don’t like people imposing things on us. Members of the branches are the ones to propose or give an idea to what is to be done by the top leadership. That is why we spent time forming structures.”

When asked his views on the resignation of Maitre Evod Uwizeyimana and Alain Patrick Ndengera from RDI Rwanda Nziza, a political party led by Faustin Twagiramungu, he said “ to resign in a political party shows that you are politically matured. You don’t have to sit idle in things you don’t see advancing the cause. Also dragging yourself from things that you see will not materialize, it is always better to seek alternatives.”

“When you see that can no longer fulfill your duties based on certain situations, you rather quite. To me that is freedom of choice. So, Maitre Evode and his colleague, I think they made the right choices.”   

In concluding our conversation, Mukiza said that “Rwandese hold the  secretes with in their hearts. Signs of change are seen every where. That time will come when they will vote democratically their chosen leaders”.

THE SIX ACCUSED IN THE ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE OF LT GEN KAYUMBA NYAMWASA TECHNOLOGICALLY SPEAKING WILL FACE A LONG TIME BEHIND BARS.

Johannesburg – The court case involving the six men accused of attempted assassination of Lt Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa resumed today in Jeppestown, magistrate court. 

On a witness stand stood Erica N Nienwenhuis, a Forensic Analyst from SAPS, Pretoria Central. What is more shocking from the defense team is that, prior to adjoining the proceedings during the last court appearance, the defense team argued on the basis of not having enough time to cross examine the witness.

Today it was a different case. The defense team, loosing touch with base, only managed to ask two questions, which Erica N Nienwenhuis firmly answered and they had no alternative but to cut short their cross examination with her.

Hilda Du Plessis, Senior Analyst Agent at MTN took a witness stand right after Erica, to testify on the database obtained from MTN’s database system detailing/ mapping the records of mobile phone calls, sms and voice mails made between the six accused men.  

The information provided by the service provider, MTN, not only well compiled  before the court, but accurately and point by point maps the modus operand of those involved in the attempted assassination, used. The prosecutor, Shaun  Abrahams, read to the public how the accused men exchanged mobile handsets in order to conceal their activities, while calling each other repeatedly in different locations, exchanging smses with one another, but the failure to catch-up with the technology is slowly catching up with them.

As an example given before the court, state prosecutor, Shaun Abrahams said that: three different SIM (Subscriber Identity Model) card numbers were used on one Phone. The IMEI number (International Mobile Equal pin Identity) of the same phone reflected on the database, being used frequently. The same phone belonged to accused number 5 the man who shot Lt Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, also  known as Amed Seif before the court.

Shuan Abrahams also told the court that " prior to the attempted murder, 447 calls were made between the accused Richard Bachisa (the then chauffeur of Let Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa) know as accused number 2 before the court and Vincent Ngendo”. 

As the data was read out, two numbers from Rwanda emerged. One of which (+250782276419) belonged to the former Chief of National Intelligence Security Service, Col Emmanuel Ndahiro, who was reshuffled by the president and given a post in the defense ministry. As report by AFP.

The database before the court, clearly implicates all the accused from the date their sim-cards were inserted into their handset to the date that they were placed in custody. From the look of things, they are to remain behind the bars for a long time. The case will resume on the 5^th to the 6^th September 2012.

A CONVERSATION WITH NSENGIMANA DANIEL. RNC JOBURG YOUTH LEADER.

Johannesburg – Saturday the 25th August, I had a conversation with RNC Youth Leader for Joburg Branch in South Africa. The will and courage to tell it like it is, is what drives this ambitious young man, Nsengimana Daniel.  The discussion started on a lighter note but as we progressed, the heat was on. The following are thoughts and suggestions from what he shared with us.

“If you go through the history of Rwanda, youth have always been used by selfish leaders for their own benefits and that’s exactly what’s happening in the North Kivu”. Said Nsengimana Daniel.  

“The strength of our nation (which is the youth) is wasted in Congo, in wars that they too don’t understand the root-causes”. He Added.

When asked how he feels about the recent developments in Rwanda regarding young men arrested over allegations of misconducts and various charges, he told us that “those  young men are being harassed. Those involved in capturing them, fabricates false charges so that they can carry on with their militias activities. Those young men are treated like a herd of cattle. You just drag them left and right and they follow you".

He goes further to advice them that “ Rwandan youth are the ones to take up the first step in fighting for their rights and the sovereignty of their country”. Here, he gave us an example of how the two governments starting with the ousted one and the current government, the two government have always involved the youth in wrong doings.

“during the Gen Habyarimana reign, youth were used to do bad things. The same mentality migrated to the current regime where we see, president Paul Kagame also use the youth to do more harm than good. So the youth need to be aware of all these things and rise up. The time is now”.

“ for example when there is instability, they call upon the youth to intervene. But when all is well, they forget them. So here we need to think twice and asks ourselves whether we are their tools to be used around or part of the solution”.

He also stressed on the issue of the recent attempt assassination to end the life of his fellow comrade and chairman of RNC in Africa region, Frank Ntwali,  by saying that “ it is a shameful act and we condemn it very strongly. We are aware that our lives are in danger, but yet again we know that we won’t live forever. So we will continue to voice against the bad regime however we can”.

Asked his opinion regarding the current regime, he stressed out that “the regime is in its last stage. They will do whatever they can to empty coffers of the people. Here I can give you so many examples of funds they established for the sole purpose of enriching themselves; 1 Agaciro Development Fund 2. Mutual Fund, 3. Education Fund, 4. FARG all these are mind-game type of businesses that are meant to bankrupt ordinary citizen.

He concluded by saying that “as youth, especial those still living in Rwanda, there is need to free themselves and start being vocal. There is a need for us as youth to break those chains and free ourselves from the oppressor, using whatever means we have at our disposal”.

LETA YA PAUL KAGAME NGO; INZEREREZI 110 ZAFASHWE MU MUKWABU.

Johannesburg – Amakuru dukesha Kigalitoday.com aravugako “ Umukwabo wafashe abantu 110 biganjemo inzererez”. Andi akagira a ti “Muhanga: Hafashwe abantu babiri bamaze gutema abantu babiri”.

Nyuma yaho ibinyamakuru bikorana na leta ya Paul Kagame bitangarije y’uko hari ubugizi bwa nabi bukomeje kubera mu gihugu, bika bisa nkaho byatesheje agaciro nyiragaciro, abasore batavugarumwe na leta, bakomeje guhohoterwa.

Nkuko umwe mu banyamakuru (Musabwa Ephrem) watangaje iyi nkuru abivuga, agira ati “Ikindi n’uguca burundu imbura mukoro ziganjemo abana binzererezi n’indaya bakigaragara muri uyu mujyi bakabangamira umutekano, nk’uko bitangazwa n’inzego z’umutekano”. Ibi rero bikaba byatumye twibaza ukuntu umuntu aba “Inzererezi mugihugu cye kandi afite ubureganzi kamere bwo kuba no gukora icyo ashaka”.

Mu amaranga mutima ye menshi akomeza agira ati “Mu kubasuzuma hagaragayemo 40 bakora ubujura bwo mu mifuka n’abakora umwuga w’uburaya umunani. Abo bose bafungiwe mu murenge wa Giheke, ari naho bazakorerwa dosiye”. Gusa ukuntu bapimye uburaya bwabo ako kamwanya nibisobanuye. Nibihugu biteye imbere, nibishora gukora ayo masuzumwa (DNA) ako kamwanya. Ngo bafungiye aho bazakorerwa dosiye, bivuze yuko nta nkete yari yakorwa kugirango ba bashe kuba batangarizwa ibyaha baregwa. Ariko uyu munyamakuru yababoneye déjà ibyaha baregwa.

Undi we (Gerard GITOLI Mbabazi) aragira ati; “Muhanga- Hafashwe abantu babiri bamaze gutema abantu babiri”. “Babwiye uyu mugabo ko nadafungura bamwica, ati: “bakimara kumbwira ko banyica nahise mfungura, nsanga babanguye imipanga ityaye, umwe ashaka kuntema mu mutwe nkinga akiganza aba aricyo atema”. Birashoboka ko yatemwe, ariko icyanagaje ni ukuntu uyu mwanditsi akomeza atubeshya muriyi propaganda.

Akomeza yandika agira ati “Uyu mugabo akimara gutemwa no guterwa ubwoba asabwa gutanga ibyo afite byose yahise avuza indura bituma aba basore biruka, nibwo uyu mugabo yahise ahamagara abashinzwe umutekano ngo bafate aba basore”. Umuntu watemwe akabo, ububabare afite bwatuma yayura n’umunwa mwabantumwe?

Ikigaraga muribi byose ni uko leta ya Paul Kagame yadukiruye abasore badafite kivugira. Izi nkuru zigamije kwerekana ko leta irimo gukora, cyeretse ko imaze guta agaciro mubyo ikora, biteye agahinda. Abo basore bafatwa nk’inzererezi kandi bari mugihugu cyabo bafitemo uburengazira ijana kw’ijana bwo gukora no kujya aho bashaka, urubategereje n’inzira ya Congo kujya kurwana inambara batazi imva n’imvano.

Amakuru nkaya mugomba kuyitondera. Abo bavuga ko bagize uruhare mu bikorwa bibi bibitirirwa, kuki n’amazina yabo badutagarije? Mwitondere inkuru nkizi kandi mube maso mushishoza.

FRANKLY SPEAKING I WAS SAVED BY GOD. CONFESSES FRANK NTWALI AFTER AN ATTEMPT TO END HIS LIFE.

Johannesburg – This morning we spoke to Frank Ntwali the chairman of RNC Africa Region, who is recovering well from the wounds obtained from an attempt assassination on his life, yesterday the 22^nd August 2012 while on his way for a meeting in Kempton Park near Johannesburg International Airport. He was stabbed nine times in different areas.

“ A car came from behind us, flashing lights. The occupants posing as police officers pulled us off. Once we pulled off, they started asking me my wallet and whether I had a gun”.  Said Frank Ntwali.

“ Three guys, one entered inside the car from behind, while his other partners, one standing on my door side and another one on the driver’ side started searching us. They guy behind me started stabbing me. From there, I started wrestling the guy on my door, who was busy pushing me back inside the car. Eventual, I forced myself out”. Added  Frank.

Asked weather this was a robbery gone wrong, he said that he has no doubt that it was a planed hit. The driver was left unharmed and no valuables were taken. This is an obvious sign that the intention was to kill Frank Ntwali and delay medical care.

“no doubt in my mind that it is Paul Kagame, behind the attack. Anyone who speaks against him and his dictatorship regime is considered as a threat”. Added Frank

Although the damage has been done, the courage and the spirit do defeat the enemy with the help of God is what motivated Frank Ntwali to speak to us this morning.

“Our battle in defeating the enemy has only began. It shows that God is on our side and justice shall prevail. The only way out is that people need to realize that  enough is enough. Paul Kagame and his gangs need to be brought to book”. Said Frank.
