Editor,

What value do we really gain from watching all these matches of foreign leagues that do not even feature a Rwandan player in them?

Wouldn’t all that money StarTimes is dishing out be better utilised developing our local game for the long haul, including, for instance, the sponsoring of annual televised national schools tournaments?

Our problem seems to be centered on the hunger for immediate gratification rather than build up things slowly but for their sustainability. Americans are wrongly called the "fast food” society; they are nowhere close to us Africans!
