Thank you, Rwanda! What a journey. We celebrate a season that shattered records across every major metric, from attendance and viewership to engagement and impact.The future of basketball in Africa has never been brighter and we’re just getting started. #BAL6
Iconic weekend for Rwanda & sports. Sport is talent, joy, jobs, tourism, investment and global visibility. Rwanda is proud to be part of building that future for Rwandans and for Africa. Africans shine in global sport and should definitely share in its business.
Warm regards from the finals. #Twaje.
Let’s go RSSB tigers!

Kigali didn’t just discuss growth.
Two days at the @africaceoforum focused on deals, partnerships, and ideas around scaling across Africa.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making #ACF2026 impactful.
“We really need to pay attention to what has been done here (in Rwanda) because it’s a real template that we just want to take and put it in Kenya, Nigeria, Accra, Abuja, Johannesburg and we will move in Africa.”

Africa’s sports economy is projected to reach $20B by 2035 — and investors should be paying attention.
I just wrapped an incredible conversation with @EleniGiokos and Masai Ujiri, co-founder of @GiantsOfAfrica, on why arenas, courts, and concert venues are as vital to Africa’s future as roads and power infrastructure.
Securing broadcast and merchandising rights, building transparent sponsorship markets, leveraging audience data, and developing multi-use arenas that generate year-round revenue will be critical to unlocking #Africa’s sports and entertainment potential.
The sports value chain can become a true game-changer for the continent.
Let’s build it.

🎭 The creative industries are not entertainment. They are an economy. From the main stage of the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, Hon. @XandrineUmutoni, Rwanda's Minister of State for Youth and Arts, reframed an industry too often relegated to the margins of African economic strategy.
📜 Her playbook rests on four pillars Rwanda has been actively building. First, the enabling policy environment, with intellectual property protection at its core, without ownership of what creatives produce, the same capital keeps circulating to the same gatekeepers, and wealth never compounds for the artists themselves.
🎓 Second, human capital development across the entire value chain. Not just the talent on stage, but the managers who can read a contract beyond their 10%, the lawyers fluent in IP law, the educators shaping curricula aligned with the labour market, and the technicians whose invisible work makes any cultural product professional.
🏛️ Third, infrastructure that is both physical and digital, and that carries cultural identity by design. Her question to the room was direct. Are African office buildings, conference centres and public venues being built so that the moment you walk in, you know you are in Rwanda, Kenya or Nigeria? Cultural identity, embedded in the architecture itself, is now part of how the continent should think infrastructure.
🌍 Underpinning the entire ambition is one persistent continental obstacle she named without hesitation. Visa frictions for African creatives moving across African borders to showcase their work. The single most concrete blocker to a pan-African creative economy.

A profound and truth- revealing masterpiece by @FirstLadyRwanda :
“Our nation called for restorative justice to deliver accountability, albeit imperfect, in the hope that we could once more rebuild together.
Survivors offered an invaluable, redeeming gift: forgiveness.
They did it for themselves. For future generations. For the country.
We shall forever be grateful.
Somewhere down the line Rwandans rewrote a future for ourselves as a nation that did not align with the one that was scripted for us. Much that we do to attain this future will challenge, will offend, will, and already does, bring discomfort to some.
So be it. We march forward, and we will not turn back” Read: : https://t.co/GKBXHPIiQv
A new chapter begins.

“We find these powers who want to impress upon us that we really don’t have much, we don’t mean much, we can only survive because of them. This notion has to be challenged, and has to be challenged by all of us.” President Kagame #WPC2026
