Rwanda: Makwaza Hill to Be Turned Into a Tourist Attraction

AUTHORITIES in Gisagara district of the Southern Province are planning to develop Makwaza hill and transform it into a touristic site, the district mayor Leandre Karekezi has said.

Makwaza, a small hill of a few hundred metres encircled by eucalyptus, pine trees and herbages, sits a few metres from the Rwanda-Burundi border in the rural Mukindo sector. The hill is believed to have saved the life of King Ruganzu Ndoli, who was being pursued after he launched an attack against local chief Nyaruzi rwa Haramanga, overpowering him and eventually killing him, according to a legend from local residents.
