  • KSTOREZ makes a difference in provision of technology services

    Director of Kstorez Group told IGIHE that Kstorez came to solve the problems and provide technology-related services.

    “Kstorez group has come to make it easier for those who want technology-related services and get them cheaper because it has been found that some provide expensively yet less efficient,” he said.

    Asked about the origin of the name Kstorez, the director said it contains two different meanings, where K, representing a thousand, means a thousand mountains that makeup Rwanda and Storez comes from the English word “store”.

    Those who need to shop for a variety of items including accessories, clothing, and more, KStorez has set up a website https://www.kstorez.com which offers a variety of affordable products.

  • Watch Emirates FA Cup on StarTimes – Top clubs chasing a Wembley date

    Classic, Smart, Unique, Super, and Max bouquet subscribers will be stuck on their chairs watching the battle of Wembley enjoying the best players FA CUP semi-finals can offer.

    If you are not subscribed pay StarTimes Classic Bouquet (8,000Rwf/month, 2700Rwf/week) or Smart Bouquet (8500/month, 2850Rwf/week).

    When four of the best clubs in English football take to the field at Wembley Stadium this weekend, they are all hoping for another date at the same venue two weeks later.

    Since the 2007/8 season both FA Cup semi-final matches are played at the iconic stadium, with the two winners appearing in the final of the world’s oldest domestic football competition a short while later.

    Despite Liverpool having been knocked out of the competition in the fifth round by Chelsea, the remaining clubs represent the remaining crème de la crème of English club football, with Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all still in line to win the coveted trophy.

    Arsenal take on Manchester City in the first game on Saturday, with form definitely favouring the Citizens. Since returning from the forced coronavirus break, the Gunners have won just three of the seven league matches they have played, losing three as well, including a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City at the City of Manchester Stadium.

    Pep Guardiola’s team, on the other hand, have been impressive, ensuring 5-0 victories against Newcastle, Brighton and Burnley, as well as a morale-boosting 4-0 win against newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool.

    The Spanish coach said even though they had lost the league title to Liverpool, they were still looking at a great season. “We have some incredible weeks ahead and making it to the final in Wembley would be terrific.”

    Their city rivals, United, are another in-form team and have played themselves back into contention for a place in the top four in the league, with Portuguese striker Bruno Fernandes (5), Anthony Martial (4) and Mason Greenwood (4) getting amongst the goals in the five matches the club has played.

    In Sunday’s semi-final the Reds are facing a Chelsea side, who have been blowing hot and cold since returning to the field. They beat Manchester City, but lost 3-0 at Sheffield United on the weekend.

    Between them, the two coaches – Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Frank Lampard – have appeared in eight FA Cup finals, with both being on the losing side once. Solskjær’s defeat came in 2007, when United lost against Chelsea, with Lampard winning the man of the match award in that game.

    England international Ross Barclay, who scored the winning goals for the Blues in the quarter-final against Leicester, believes Lampard having won the competition four times as a player, will help the current squad.

    “It’s the mentality of the club and the gaffer since he’s been back. He wants to win every game and it’s a trophy. Chelsea are a massive club, we win trophies every year and everyone’s motivated with every FA Cup game,” he said after the win against Leicester.

    With a place in the Europa League on offer for the winners of the competition, there is even more to play for, for all four sides.

    And football fans throughout Africa will be able to see which two teams emerge victorious this weekend, as the continent’s leading digital-TV operator, StarTimes, has secured the rights to broadcast the exciting competition.

    Both games will be shown live on the StarTimes World Football DTT 254, DTH: 245.

  • eMall brings online shopping solutions in Rwanda to beat COVID-19 lockdown challenges

    Goods delivery at any location in Kigali will only be Rwf 1000. One buyer can order goods from different retailers and still get them delivered at the same price.

    “One client can order from a liquor store and a grocery store at the same time and have all the goods delivered at Rwf 1000.”

    eMall is also SSL certified, which means that it allows secure connections from web servers to browsers.

    For sellers, fees for listing items on the platform have been reduced by a half which consequently allowed sellers to reduce items prices.

    Usually, a Rwf 50,000 fee was requested for opening an account on eMall but it has also been waived.

    eMall works with more than 40 retail outlets and shops around Kigali. Orders are delivered between 20 minutes and an hour depending on the location of the customer.

  • Cyber4Africa by Africans- ESSOKA Cybersecurity Division: Keeping cyber threats at bay

    It is against this background that ESSOKA Corporation has introduced the ESSOKA Cybersecurity Division (ECSD), with the purpose of promoting a more proactive and adaptive professional approach in the fight against cybercrimes, using a framework of education and services through International Standardized Cyber Security Training Programs.

    The ECSD operates under Cyber4Africa by African (C4A) Project, created to empower Africans with the ability to secure their own cyberspace through one of the leading technocratic virtuoso development programs that have over 29 International licenses in information technology, communication technology, and cybersecurity.

    Dr. Coach Achu Gustave, the ECSD Corporate/ Cyber Strategist, and Instructor says they want to squarely address cybersecurity issues despite the current education challenges in Africa. “The kind of education given in Africa is currently the main challenge to training; the academia education is not what Africa needs right now, because school-based and state-regulated provision cannot respond as rapidly and flexible as industry-standard education can, to technological changes as the in-company training that is strategically and well-integrated.

    He adds that expertise needs to be directed not by abstract and theoretical knowledge but by a more practice-based curriculum.

    Dr. Achu explains that the main purpose of the C4A project designed for Africa is to train the most advanced technocrats in cybersecurity using a work-based exhaustive certification framework that covers the fundamental core, advanced threats and industrial standards in information technology, communication technology, and cybersecurity.

    “We have put in place programs to train individuals in offering cyber services in Africa. These programs focus on training that will establish state, industry and cybersecurity experts to improve Africa’s capacity to prevent, defend and respond to cybercrime without any need to call on Chinese or Arabic countries for support. ”

    “At ECSD, we provide a comprehensive development path that delivers the most outstanding cybersecurity practices from Africa to the rest of the world, using international standardized cybersecurity training programs, partnerships, certification and services that address cybersecurity challenges and needs in partnership with EC-Council, Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and many more.”

    Dr. Achu encourages whoever is interested in IT programs and cybersecurity to join these programs, in order to secure Africa’s cyber services and having them secured by Africans. He says that the ultimate goal is to have a cyber-security system for Rwanda provided by Rwandans.
