Meet Sangwe, a 17-year-old hoops sensation

To basketball fanatics, he is the new kid on the block. 17-year-old Armel Sangwe sent shockwaves in the basketball league after posting a career high 35 points in Espoir’s 100-77 defeat of defending champions Rwanda Energy Group (REG) last weekend. The 17-year-old is a refugee who fled political unrest in Burundi with his family in 2015. Little did he know, three years later, he would be making headlines in a country in another country.
