THE national Kung fu team has been invited to take part in the second African wushu championship slated for August in Coton-Benin. Although it will be the second outing for other countries, Rwanda will be making a debut appearance. Ahead of the championship, the president of the National Kung fu federation Yassin Mubarak Uramukiye is optimistic the team will put up a good show at the competition. “I’m quite confident that the team will not disappoint us in Benin.

Benin also staged the first edition of the championship last year. Ends
