THE national men’s volleyball team captain Mukunzi Christophe is confident about Rwanda’s chances of qualifying for this year’s All Africa Games slated for September in Mozambique’s capital Maputo.

Rwanda opens her qualification campaign this evening with a clash against Uganda at Amahoro Indoor Stadium and Mukunzi expects nothing short of a win.
"We have a good team and we believe we can qualify for the All Africa Games.

 We play Uganda tomorrow (today) and we want to get off to a strong start (winning the game),” the KVC player said.
