South Africa is the largest economy and Rwanda is also a growing economy and investment hub, which has made reforms to attract investors with tangible results. And partnership between Rwanda and South Africa will enable business communities of the two countries to thrive, to engage, to find markets for their products. “ | Minister @onduhungirehe in an interview with @RoyalFMRwanda this morning.

NIGERIA IMPLEMENTS 30-DAY VISA EXEMPTION FOR RWANDAN NATIONALS
Following the announcement by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, granting Rwandan Nationals a 30-day visa exemption, reciprocating similar gesture from Rwandan Government to Nigerian citizens, the Nigeria Immigration Service has completed all arrangements for the directive’s implementation.
📆 While the world's cameras are turned to the inaugural #AfricaForward Summit in Nairobi on 11-12 May, the continent's economic boardroom convenes just 48 hours later. From 14-15 May, six sitting Heads of State gather in Kigali for the Africa CEO Forum 2026, the largest pan-African meeting of presidents, CEOs and investors, where the continent's political leadership and its private sector write the next chapter of African prosperity together.
��� H.E. @PaulKagame, President of Rwanda and host of the summit, welcomes H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT (Nigeria), H.E. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema (Gabon), H.E. Daniel Chapo (Mozambique), H.E. Mohamed Cheikh Ould El Ghazouani (Mauritania) and H.E. Mamadi Doumbouya (Guinea).
🌍 Six leaders who represent some of the most strategic economies on the continent, all aligned on a single conviction: the future of Africa will be financed, built and owned by Africans, with the private sector as the central engine.
💡 This is what sets ACF apart. Where most international forums frame the continent through the prism of bilateral relations, the Africa CEO Forum convenes 2,000 African and global decision-makers around the issues that will define the next decade: megaprojects and infrastructure, pan-African capitalism, productivity, industrial sovereignty and the acceleration of the AfCFTA. The conversations in Kigali set Africa's own agenda, on Africa's own terms.
📍 Kigali, 14-15 May 2026. The continent's economic centre of gravity.

President Kagame has arrived in Botswana for a two-day State Visit.
The visit aims to strengthen cooperation between Rwanda and Botswana across various sectors. #RBANews
“What Africa wants is simple: To take care of ourselves, and work productively with others. With the fragmentation we are seeing around the world, more isolation is not the solution. It will breed rivalry and division.
Viewing development as a positive-sum game rather than a competition, can bring the predictability and coherence that our global system desperately needs. The question is not whether we can build a perfectly balanced world. It’s whether we can co-exist, even with our differences, and still prosper together.” President Kagame | @WorldPolicyConf #WPC2026
This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received a delegation led by HRH Prince Oheneba Yaw Otchere, Royal Ambassador of His Majesty the Asantehene of the Asante Kingdom, Ghana. Discussions centered on strengthening ties between Rwanda and the Ashanti Kingdom, with a particular focus on expanding opportunities in trade, investment and mineral trading.
Let us not forget: even Dag Hammarskjöld, the first UN Secretary-General to die in office, lost his life in 1961 while on a mission to help bring peace to the DRC.
The issue is not a lack of knowledge, it is that those imposing sanctions often act to protect interests, not truth.
Thank you @FaraiMuvuti for speaking with clarity.
