President Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame, on Sunday, January, joined residents of Kigali City for the car-free day mass sports activity.

The popular sporting activity takes place at least twice a month and aims to promote a healthier lifestyle and a green city.

Kigali car-free zone has, over the years, seen an emergence of new activities beyond group calisthenics, currently, activities like group tennis and ping pong, children’s mobile entertainment facilities, and blood donations have been added to the list of activities.

It is also a way to contribute, to some extent, to the reduction of gas emissions as well as an opportunity to have a great cheer and socialization for City residents.
