{Rwandans were frustrated by the Tanzanian artist because he was wearing a sun-hat during his tour inside the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre.}
Abdul Juma aka Diamond Platnumz who is to shake Kigali at The New Year Festivity, yesterday visited Gisozi Genocide Memorial centre wearing the sun-hat and that was seen by many as lack of respect to such place where over 250, 000 victims of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsis are buried.
It is not known whether Diamond did this willingly or it is the people in charge of protocol who have not reminded him to undress his black hat.
Those who were not satisfied by Diamond’s hat wearing have shown that according to cultural values of Rwandans it is forbidden to enter the Genocide Memorial Centre wearing hat.
Meanwhile they criticize the centre’s protocol staff for failure to remind him to undress the sun hat.
Diamond is in Rwanda where he will perform at the New Year Party which takes place on 31st December 2014 and 1st January 2015 at The Expo Ground/Gikondo and Amahoro Stadium respectively.
