Traders target January sales after disappointing festive season

While it is normal for traders to do brisk business over the December festive season, some entrepreneurs who talked to The New Times yesterday complained that this year’s festive season was not as successful as they would have wished.  Zola Kamanzi, a boutique owner in Kigali said, “On average, we would make million or so, in the week towards Christmas a few years ago. But this year, we only made around Rwf 400,000, which is almost the average amount we make over a good weekend.”
