Speaking to The New Times, Bruce Intore, founder of Intore Ent, said that Chop Life Kigali is here to introduce a different party lifestyle in Rwanda with a long line up of headliners from in and outside the country. “The line up says it all. We are going to have only the best of Africa plus currently hitmakers in Rwanda on the stage. This is something new and we wish to have a minimum of a Chop Life event every quarter,” Intore said. Intore who is also behind the famous Intore Sunday’s further noted that Chop Life’s stage and lighting will have a club atmosphere to create the perfect ambience for revellers. According to him, this event also aims to introduce Rwanda to different artistes and partygoers which is in line with the Visit Rwanda campaign to showcase Rwanda’s breathtaking tourism attractions, iconic sporting and events facilities. The event will take place during the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) that kicked off in Kigali on Sunday but it’s not part of CHOGM activities, organisers said.
