“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline.
Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour.
The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement

L'Afrique fait son retour au calendrier de la F1 ➡️ l.lequipe.fr/vtN
Cette fois, c'est officiellement confirmé : la Formule 1 fera son retour sur le continent africain, au Rwanda. Un contrat de dix ans a été signé avec pour seule incertitude la date du premier Grand Prix, au début des années 2030 sur un circuit qui va être construit à proximité de Kigali, la capitale.

#Rwanda’s mining tunnels could get a new life as tourist attractions after mineral extraction ends.
• Mining operators are exploring ways to preserve the country’s mining heritage while creating new economic opportunities.
• GAMICO Managing Director Evode Imena said the company was exploring guided underground tours, recreational facilities and unique accommodation as potential uses for the tunnels.
• The company has issued a tender for consultants to assess how the tunnels could be repurposed over the next 25 to 50 years.
• #Rwanda’s proposal follows examples from countries including Australia, South Africa, Bolivia, the UK and Germany, where former mining sites have been turned into tourism and heritage attractions.

@GAMICO_LTD has unveiled a mineral processing plant, underground rail transport system, mine clinic and mining academy as it marks five years of operations at Bashyamba Mine in Nyarugenge District.
The processing plant has an initial capacity of 15 tonnes of ore per hour, with plans to increase it to 25 tonnes, while the company aims to double production through further mechanisation.
GAMICO, which employs about 1,500 people, has also trained more than 200 workers through its mining academy and opened a clinic expected to serve its workforce.
The company says the investments are aimed at increasing productivity, improving safety and worker welfare, and developing local skills as Rwanda transitions from artisanal to mechanised mining.

Today, the Ministry of Interior, in collaboration with partner institutions, convened a workshop bringing together companies that use commercial explosives to discuss findings from a nationwide joint inspection of mining and quarry sites, as well as commercial explosives storage facilities.
The workshop focuses on strengthening compliance with safety and security standards, addressing the safe disposal of expired explosives, and promoting responsible blasting practices to safeguard surrounding communities and protect the environment.
