"by 2050, Burundians and Congolese would come to Rwanda "to sweep the streets" and "clean the toilets.""
"After reflecting long and hard, I realized that as someone with a big following I had a responsibility to pull down my post, since it could have some diplomatic implications. But it was not due to the minister's request,"
A Rwandan businessman, Sadate Munyakazi, made demeaning remarks that by 2050 Burundians and Congolese would come to Rwanda to sweep streets and clean toilets and later apologized. The comments split public opinion, attracting both support and anger. Journalist Oswald Mutuyeyezu echoed the sentiment on X, prompting concern from Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe, who asked for the post to be deleted because of possible diplomatic implications. Mutuyeyezu removed the comment after reflection, saying the decision was his and not due to ministerial pressure, and stated he cannot be forced to withdraw his posts.
