GVA Rwanda, a subsidiary of Group Vivendi Africa, on November 8 launched its special "NI IYAWE MU BAWE" promotion for new customers of CanalBox, the fibre-based internet service, providing free installation and a router with any home internet package subscription.
This was unveiled during a press conference attended by Aime Abizera, the CEO of GVA Rwanda, Yves Gashema, the B2C Sales Manager, David Serugendo, the Customer Service Manager, Eric Manzi, the Marketing Manager, and other members of staff.
The promotion, aimed at helping families stay connected during the holidays, comes just one week after CanalBox expanded its service to the growing Kigali suburb of Busanza, in Kicukiro District, making high-speed internet more accessible to even more Rwandans.
