This Friday, Kigali will host the first ever Snapchat party. The party is organised by Inkuba Ltd and it will be held at M.Peace Plaza roof top in Kigali City.

Snapchat is a social media platform like Twitter and Facebook, primarily used for creating multimedia messages referred to as "snaps”; snaps can consist of a photo or a short video, and can be edited to include filters and effects, text captions, and drawings. It’s a popular app, where one’s posts disappear within 24 hours.

In Rwanda, the platform is increasingly becoming popular as an interactive social platform for young people to share moments and personal experiences.

According to the organisers, the Snapchat party will be a showcase and a meet-up of different, people especially the youth who use the platform, and also those who do not use it to share experiences and learn how they can collaboratively showcase Rwanda to the world through the growing social media platform.

The party will feature DJ Toxxyk and Burundian DJ Trick Trick.

Organisers also believe that this is the right moment to inspire a positive change in the perception of nightlife in Rwanda.
