Inyange donates to survivors

Genocide survivors in Kinyana, in Gasabo District received assorted items donated by employees of Inyange Industries. The items included over 30 boxes of soap, 30 bags of maize flour, cartons of milk, sanitary pads, fruit juice, brooms, clothes among others. The Inyange staff, led by the Human Resource Manager, Rose Karugu, were commemorating the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi which left thousands in the area dead. At the memorial site in Gasabo, a guide, Beata Uwitonze, narrated the brutal massacres that engulfed the area 21 years ago. Upto 15,000 people massacred from Kyinyana. But remains of other victims from different places such as Masaka, Mulindi, Gisozi, among others were also buried there. Remains of over 35,500 Genocide victims are interred here, Uwitonze told the mourners. ‘‘The militia used machetes, knives and rape to kill innocent Tutsi. Others were burnt alive, with roads strewn with bodies,’’ Uwitonze recalled. Stephanie Mukandanga, 70, a survivor, and Anthony Mudogo, the vice head of Ibuka in Rusororo sector, commended the Inyange staff for the donation which went to 20 families of Genocide survivors.
