The local table tennis federation has received equipment worth $30,000 (about Rwf27.5million) from the Chinese Embassy in Rwanda. The development was confirmed to Times Sport by Innocent Bahati, the secretary general of Rwanda Table Tennis Federation. The equipment include tables, rackets and balls. “We have also signed an agreement with the embassy in the areas of training and capacity building as well as the construction project of a table tennis centre,” said Bahati. This publication understands that the federation will look for the land plot, while the embassy has pledged to fund the construction. This year’s national table tennis league starts early November. editor@newtimesrwanda.com
