It’s Friday 2.30pm in Kigali and as everyone is “warming up” for the weekend drinking and eating sprees, civil servants have all the reasons to leave work early and go for fitness activities.

The physical activities start at 3pm and go in into early evening, and every government employee is supposed to participate unless deemed otherwise by their direct supervisors.
