Educated Zim cruel pple cant do this, mostly under this evil regime, POSA/AIPA, they cant do anything, let alone gather. Quote::: Three months ago, I discovered this most curious Rwandan practice called “Umuganda”, which loosely translates as “working together”. According to Rwandapedia, “Close to 80 percent of Rwandans take part in monthly community work.” While the city council is largely responsible for the CLEAN Kigali streets, citizens are conscious about keeping their respective property and areas CLEAN. As a Kenyan who would walk past Nairobi’s dirty streets, I wonder if such a program would work back home Umuganda began in the ’90s and takes place every last Saturday of the month, between 8am and 11am. Citizens come together to clean and maintain their community. Some of the tasks include cutting grass in fields, repairing bridges, building homes for widows and even book drives in certain neighbourhoods. During the Umuganda hours, circulation of traffic is stopped for non-essential movements except for expatriates, medical and military personnel on duty or people seeking medical attention. Rwanda is a country that cares deeply about the environment, tidiness and the enforcement of rules. The thing that impressed me most about this program is that people actually turn up, and your plastic bags will be confiscated as I learned during a recent visit to the country. You see, as a Kenyan who would walk past Nairobi’s nauseatingly dirty streets, I wonder if such a program would work in Kenya where community service is not as prominent in the way it is in Rwanda.
