The prize of not one but two brand-new Mitsubishi cars could not have gone to a more deserving or committed NSRI supporter.
“Her reaction to winning was a sight to behold,” Wendy told the NSRI. “It started off with a loud yell, and her hands shot up to her face in disbelief, which soon gave way to total joy and amazement. We are still pinching ourselves to make sure it’s not a dream. ”
“Mom has been a supporter of the NSRI for many, many years,” said Wendy. “It all started with her second husband, Paul, who served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. He was the commander of the ship, HMS Goodall. Later, General Smuts recalled the South African personnel on board the ship back to South Africa, and it later sank during the war near Russia. This meant Paul’s life was spared, and he lived for many years thereafter.
“In her younger days, she played bowls as a sport and participated in league games,” said Wendy. “She also served as chair lady in her bowling club.”

The Solution to Rwanda's Capital City's Public Transport IssuesThe best way that Kigali can deal with its public transport challenges is by implementing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), according to Chris Kost, a public transport expert working with the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), a global organisation that has worked with over 100 cities to design and implement transport and urban development systems. The BRT is a high-capacity public transport service that generally runs on dedicated lanes and corridors to avoid delays that typically slow regular bus services. Although the characteristics of each system may vary, most BRT buses operate on dedicated lanes, allowing them to zoom past traffic and offer fast and predictable journey times. Buses only stop at designated stations where passengers typically prepay the fare before boarding, which helps streamline and speed up operations. Services run frequently and are operated by large vehicles--often articulated or even bi-articulated buses, meaning they can carry large amounts of people quickly and efficiently. Building a BRT is much cheaper than many advanced public transport technologies such as metro or light rail, and partly due to this, the system is enjoying growing popularity in Africa, where six systems are already operational and another 10 are under development, reports Hudson Kuteesa for The New Times.
