Tickets were sold at Rwf2000 and Rfw5000 respectively and the lucky winners took home lots of prizes ranging from Blackberry’s, Nokia E-series courtesy of MTN, vouchers to spend nights in Kigali and Kivu Serena Hotels, dinners at Lalibel, Ethiopian Restaurant, car batteries, tires, servicing at Akagera Motors and the grand prize of a return ticket to any destination in Europe from Kenya Airways.
Nonetheless, the delicious dinner, drinks of all brands, and live bands made the night fantastic.
