They also lost table leaders SC Kiyovu 1-0. Efforts by Times Sport to talk to Ruremesha proved futile as his known mobile phone was switched off by press time.Keza will be assisted by former Amavubi defender and Mukura skipper Canisius Nshimiyimana, who was part of the team that played at the 2004 Africa Cup of National in Tunisia.Meanwhile, the league has been called off to allow the national team to prepare for next week’s international friendly match against Namibia
