The 12-year old has emerged the best performer student in 2017 primary school’s national examinations.

Mugisha was studying at Saint André- Ruhina in Shyogwe Sector of Muhanga District, Southern Province.

Speaking to IGIHE shortly after the results’ release, Mugisha said that heeding to teachers’ guidance and siding with God helped him perform excellently.

“Teacher’s guidance helped me to study with the ambition to outshine. Drawing confidence from our school’s performance in the previous years, I targeted to perform well too. I was good at Mathematics at first but I also invested many efforts in other subjects,” he said.

He said he liked Mathematics highly but one of his teachers urged him to concentrate on other subjects and seek help from parents in case he failed to understand anything.

Mugisha’s father Nsengiyumva is a businessman while her mother Providence Umutesi is a teacher. Both parents said that Mugisha has always studied hard and appeared among the best two students in class since he started primary school.

The Director of Education in Muhanga District, Claude Sebashi commended Saint André- Ruhina primary school’s teachers on their commitment to offering quality education which resulted in having the best performer at the national level.

In 2015, four students from Saint André- Ruhina primary school made it on the list of best 12 nationwide and one student from the school took the fourth position nationally in 2016.

The results released by the Ministry of Education on Tuesday, Frank Mugisha emerged the best in primary and was followed by Schadrack Sifayake from Morning Star Bright Academy in Gatsibo District.

In secondary school’s ordinary level, Josyln Karenzi Manzi from Kigali Parents School in Gasabo District emerged the best performer and was followed by Audrey Umurerwa from Mary Hills in Nyagatare District.

A total of 237,181 students sat for primary leaving examinations in 2017 while 98, 268 students sat for ordinary level examinations.

Primary schools’ results show the success rate stands at 86.3% while lower secondary schools (O’level) succeeded at 89.9%.

Kayiranga who has now spent three days in custody has been working for Volcano Express in Burundi.

She is detained at Muyinga based Police Commissariat in North-East of Burundi.

Chief Operations Officer at Volcano Express, Agaba Andrew Japhet said that Kayiranga was arrested by Burundi’s intelligence body accusing her of being a Rwandan intelligence.

He said that following her arrest, Volcano Express management through their employees in Burundi held talks with Burundi Police. It is expected that Kayiranga will be released and sent back to Rwanda by today (Tuesday).

“She was arrested because she is a Rwandan as it has often happened to Rwandans over there. We have discussed with Burundian officials through our employees working from there and we expect her today in the country but we are yet to know the border they will use,” he said.

The relations between Rwanda and Burundi strained in 2015 when Rwanda was accused of supporting a coup attempt against Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza. Rwanda rejected the accusations.

Phyllis Chikundura, the spokesperson for Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, confirmed there was an ongoing investigation.

“We confirm there is such a report and there is such a probe,” she said.

Mrs Mugabe reportedly got the PhD after months of study in 2014.

State-run The Herald newspaper reported at the time that Mrs Mugabe’s dissertation was on the theme of “changing social structure (and) the functions of the family”.

It reported she undertook research on Zimbabwean children’s homes.

Mrs Mugabe was personally capped by her husband and then-president Robert Mugabe, who was also the chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe.

She was praised at the time by other government officials who defended the controversial degree award.

Mrs Mugabe had hoped to replace her husband as leader, but antagonised a faction of the ruling Zanu-PF party which led to a fallout within the party.

The military then stepped in and forced President Mugabe to end his 37 year rule of the southern African country and installing his former deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, as president.

Unfortunately, a lot of people carry this perishable item in the form of negative energy, and they end up chasing away friends, family and loved ones.

{{You stop doing things you love}}

Negative energy only wants you to be sad, unhappy, moody and angry. If you give it a chance, it won’t only ruin your day, but your entire life.

When you act this way, you would stop loving the things that are dear to you, and all mind will be fixed on that thing that wants to ruin your mood.

{{You start acting irritable}}

When you start to snap at the slightest of things, get angry for no tangible reason, get offended at the slightest provocation and get into a fight or argument too often, it’s a sign that you have let the negative energy get the better of you.

{{You become too critical
}}

When you start judging and condemning others, and you find yourself abusing or using harsh tone on people, it could be a sign of bitterness, and bitterness is a strong evidence of negative energy.

Learn to sit back and relax, take off negative thoughts and consciously train your mind to see the good in every situation, because negative energy will only make life miserable for you.

Dr Dusabe, 40, was a specialist in Gynecologic oncology.

Ambassador of Rwanda in South Africa, Vincent Karega has confirmed the incident saying that Dusabe was found murdered on Monday morning in the house he was lodging in Cape Town city.

Dusabe started his job in King Faisal Hospital in April 2017 after completing Gynecologic Oncology studies in Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

Under the funding of the government of Rwanda, Dusabe entered Stellenbosch University in 2010 after completing medicine studies at former National University of Rwanda (NUR).

Dr Dusabe grew up in Burundi where his family lived in exile and returned to Rwanda in 1998 after completing secondary school.

The little unmanned aerial vehicles commonly known as drones delivered more than 5,000 blood packages last year. The delivery system was launched in October 2016 in in Muhanga District where the Zipline drones base is located.

President Paul Kagame who officially started the project said the drones had a great importance in reducing the loss of lives.

As Minisante welcomed a team of 19 health professionals from Tanzania’s Africa Society for Blood Transfusion on Monday, Permanent Secretary Dr. Jean Pierre Nyemazi said the drones supplied over 5,000 blood units to 12 hospitals across the country.

“As you surely would know, the drones take off from Muhanga to deliver blood units. So far, 12 hospitals have received more than 5000 blood units. It is a very reliable system which has significantly reduced the delivery time from three hours to half an hour,” he said.

The project was reached thanks to the partnership between Zipline, a Silicon Valley robotics company, and Minisante.

The team of 19 visiting Rwanda for a week comes from Tanzania, Cameroun, South-Africa, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Ghana. During their visit, they will deliberate on challenges they meet daily and find solutions that will help improve blood delivery in their hospitals.

​Tanzanian Health and Social Welfare Minister and leader of the team, Prof. Muhammad Bakari Kambi, said that Rwanda is a good example to emulate in blood units’ delivery.

“Rwanda is one of the few African countries meeting all the requirements by the Africa Society for Blood Transfusion. It has reached an admirable level […] this also shows the citizen participation and goodwill in donating blood to help the patients,” he said.

The vehicle RAD 256F, Dyna type was intercepted at a roadblock in Nyagahanga, Police said.

“The vehicle was headed to Gatsibo from Rwamagana, and it was intercepted along the way following information provided by the people. The vehicle was impounded to Gatsibo Police station while the illicit substances were disposed of,” Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Theobard Kanamugire, the Police spokesperson for the Eastern region, said.

This comes at the time when various entities are actively engaged in raising awareness against illicit drugs and the ongoing joint operations by Rwanda National Police and Rwanda Standards Bureau (RSB), specifically on illegal distilleries.

CIP Kanamugire warned of “continuous operations against illegal distilleries and dealers” but hastened to add that the “strong collaboration” with the public through information sharing is a major tool for successful response.

At least 45 illegal distilleries have been closed in the Eastern Province alone.

“There are some unlicensed distilleries some of them using deadly raw materials, operating in unhygienic places and packaging in dirty containers,” CIP Kanamugire said.

It is said that only 20 percent of 104 distilleries in the Eastern region, are licensed, according to Rwanda Standards Bureau (RSB).

Close to 80 illegal distillers had been closed by the end of last year across the country in an ongoing joint operation by Rwanda National Police (RNP) and RSB.

RSB specifies that “only food grade processing aids recognized as safe for human consumption shall be used during the manufacture.”

Other standard requirements include labeling is also a prerequisite; the name of the products, physical and postal address of manufacturer; net contents in milliliters or liters; ethyl alcohol content; date of manufacture and expiry date; storage instruction; statutory warnings; and list of ingredients in descending order.

However, some distillers allegedly use mixed sugarcane residues, bricks, sugar, tea, water and other substances said to be harmful to consumers.
