The visit, which took place at the Gisozi memorial site, provided the employees with an in-depth understanding of the history of the Genocide against the Tutsi from its planning and execution to its cessation and the nation’s journey of recovery and rebuilding.
Andy, the General Manager of Hunan Road & Bridge, expressed his admiration for the resilience and strength of the Rwandan people, noting that the experience at the memorial was deeply moving.
“As we work in Rwanda, we are part of this memory. Understanding the country’s history is essential. What we witnessed here demonstrates the strength and love Rwandans have for their nation. They were the ones who stood by each other during the most difficult times,” he stated.
Wang Jing, the Human Resources Manager at Hunan Road & Bridge, emphasised the importance of advocating for peace and ensuring that such tragic events are never repeated. He called on those who deny or downplay the genocide to visit the memorial and witness the reality of what happened.
“Denying what you haven’t seen is not the right approach. Those who question or deny the events of the past should come and see the truth, as we have. People, including children and women, lost their lives. Let them see the reality of what occurred,” Wang Jing remarked.
Hunan Road & Bridge is currently involved in the construction of the Prince House Masaka Road, a key infrastructure project that began in February 2026. The 10.3-kilometre road will consist of four lanes, expanding from the previous two-lane design to accommodate increased traffic and improve flow.
To ease congestion, an overhead section will be constructed, covering a distance of 1.3 kilometres. This section will connect the Prince House area in Remera to the Mutzig intersection in the Gasabo District. It will provide direct access to roads leading to Kigali International Airport and the Masaka region.
The new road design will include four lanes, two on the ground and two overhead, each with two directional lanes.
Additionally, the project includes a nine-kilometre stretch of road with four lanes, two in each direction, extending from Mutzig to Masaka Hospital.
The overall cost of expanding this road is projected to exceed 86 billion Rwandan francs upon completion.
