My day’s agenda is usually planed the previous evening. Aside from property, what’s the most expensive thing you bought recently? Re-doing my garden back home in Holland. Whom would you invite to your dream dinner party? The former South African President Nelson Mandela. He is a great man! If you could edit your past, what would you change? Nothing! I was brought up from a decent, wealthy family, attended good schools and pursued my career. And I have achieved my dream of being a successful soccer coach. When did you last cry, and why? Last summer. I was on a bench during APR FC’s match, when I received heartbreaking news that my sister had passed away in Holland. I missed the burial because I couldn’t leave before the match was over. What is your favourite style of music? Usually, when I’m home, I enjoy listening to cool music played in the background. But elsewhere, I can listen to any style played. All your money goes on….. My wife and daughter. If you have time to yourself… I do sports. In Holland I participate in cycling competitions. Your bar in Kigali? Republika. How do you relax? Reading and having a good massage. The moment that changed my life… The day I became a father. Tell us a secret? I wish to meet President Kagame and discuss about progressing soccer in the country. Ends
