Huge thank you to Bruce and the team for this amazing opportunity.

On this World Bicycle Day, we celebrate more than a sport. A cycling is a lifestyle, one that promotes health, sustainability, and connection. From grassroots cycling and the iconic @tour_du_Rwanda to the historic UCI Road World Championships 2025, every pedal stroke tells a story of growth, passion, and ambition.

🚴‍♂️ Happy World Bicycle Day!

From agribusiness to creative industries, from skills to sports, Africa’s growth story will be shaped by the sectors that can scale. This video gives a strong sense of that vision ahead of the @africaceoforum in Kigali next week.

[Historical Africa @historical_Afr]

Some people don't know that there were ancient African games that had enormous popularity and respect before even the advent of sports like football, baskëtball, volëyball and others in Africa, but unfortunately these sports have been abandoned and slowly forgotten.

Way before colonialism, high jump was a national sport that Rwandese 🇷🇼 excelled at. It was a tradition of great importance in Rwandan society, as men would frequently jump more than 1 foot 6 inches to show their physical abilities. During important celebrations, Rwandan kings would order a series of cultural activities to be held at the court. High jumping was one of the activities usually included in such events. It has also been played at important weddings and outside the courtroom at important local meetings.

Young and old were playing gusimbuka urukiramende. The children would plant two sticks, place another pole horizontally, and compete according to their age. The cattle carers used their breaks to play the game until the evening they brought their cattle home.

At the close of #ACF2026 I talked #Sports with @nmukazayire and @amadougallofall. The takeout: sports is the next frontier for scaling growth in Africa. Opportunity becomes truly investable when bankable rights, measurable audiences & year-round infrastructure are in place.
