  • Boxing: Joe Joyce Prepares For Match Against Daniel Dubois #rwanda #RwOT

    Joe Joyce would be 'honoured' to challenge his former sparring partner Anthony Joshua — and knows that is the prize if he can Knock Out Daniel Dubois, says his manager Sam Jones.

    Unbeaten heavyweights Dubois and Joyce clash on Saturday with the British, European and Commonwealth titles on the line, but also a crucial ranking with the WBO that could result in a world title fight next year.

    'Joe is below Daniel, quite unbelievably and outrageously, in the rankings,' his manager Jones told media.

    'Dubois is sitting pretty at No 2 on the cusp of a world title fight with either Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk [the current WBO mandatory challenger] depending upon if the belt becomes vacant.

    'If Joe beats Dubois, he gets that spot. This is what motivates Joe. 'Joe has been in the deep end from the get-go but has to beat a 22-year-old who is tipped as the next Mike Tyson — that's his quick route to the world title. So be it.'

    Joyce won the Olympic silver medal in 2016 four years after Joshua won gold — they have shared countless rounds of sparring over many years as representatives of Team GB.

    Joshua must defend his IBF, WBA and WBO belts against Kubrat Pulev on December 12, and hopes to fight WBC champion Tyson Fury in 2021 but could find Joyce as a new contender to his titles.

    Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev, December 12,

    'Yes, of course,' Jones insisted. 'Joshua and Fury are the two kingpins of the division and if any heavyweight doesn't want to fight them, then they should retire.

    'Joe wants fights against the likes of Joshua, Fury, Usyk.

    'It would be an honour to share the ring with Joshua. Two Brits is always a huge fight.

    'After this fight, Joe will be in the mix and able to call out any of the top guys.

    'Joe believes he belongs in that company.'

    Joyce is 12 years older and far more experienced than Dubois, aged 22, if his extensive amateur career is taken into account.

    Dubois is considered a special talent for his knockout pedigree, but Joyce's team believe they have been overlooked.

    'Joe has beaten Frazer Clarke four times, Mahammadrasul Majidov, Bakhodir Jalolov who is a massive power puncher, Ivan Dychko, Filip Hrgovic and Tony Yoka but people have disregarded him,' said Jones.

    'So all the pressure is on young Daniel.

    'I honestly think that Dubois' side think Joe is useless!

    'But Dubois, apart from the Nathan Gorman fight, has been in total mismatches. He can seriously punch, he can bang, Joe knows that.

    'But can he mix it up? What will he do in the later rounds? He hasn't experienced somebody really trying to beat him yet.

    'Joe knows how to win on the world level. You don't win the medals that Joe has won if you are rubbish.

    'Joe's power is underestimated. When Dubois feels one of Joe's jabs? He will be uncomfortable.

  • Movie Review For 'La Trinchera Infinita' #rwanda #RwOT

    0Shares

    Set in rural Spain during Gen. Francisco Franco's dictatorship, 'La Trinchera Infinita' tells the story of a man who spends 33 years hidden inside his house for fear of political persecution.

    It's a survival drama not unlike 'The Revenant' or '127 Hours,' except what Higinio (Antonio de la Torre) must survive are not the elements or the limits of his own body, but, for the most part, isolation and tedium.

    Apart from a kinetic opening in which Higinio escapes capture in the Andalusian countryside and returns to his new wife, Rosa (Belén Cuesta), the film unfolds largely indoors.

    As the years go by, the central couple (aged impressively by prosthetics) grapple with marital troubles and parenthood amid a life of deception and fear.

    'What's going on in the village?' Higinio asks Rosa at dinner a couple decades into his confinement. 'Life, Higinio, I don't know,' she replies exasperatedly.

    It's fertile thematic ground, but as in most survival movies, showy feats of filmmaking take precedence over insight or revelation. Cuesta and De la Torre play their parts with somber, awards-appropriate dignity, and the film's glossy production values imbue even blood and grit with a golden-yellow glow.

    Every emotional beat is underlined with precious visuals: a beam of light illuminating a single tear on Higinio's face as he watches Rosa's interrogation through a hole in the wall; Higinio wistfully examining photographs of everyday life under a magnifying glass.

    It's all (neatly rendered) text, with little subtext. The directors Aitor Arregi, Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga literalize this approach with intertitles — featuring dictionary entries of words like 'hide,' 'detention,' and 'danger' — that plainly lay out the film's themes.

    Gusa ngo hari icyizere ko hari gahunda nshya yo gushyira abakozi mu myanya (structure) yateguwe na Minisiteri y’Ubuzima ngo ishobora gutangira gushyirwa mu bikorwa muri Mutarama 2021, iyo ikaba iteganya kongerera ibigo nderabuzima umubare w’abakozi bitewe n’umubare w’abarwayi babigana.

    Iby’iyo gahunda nshya yo gushyira abakozi mu myanya kandi byanagarutsweho na Ndayisabye Viateur, ushinzwe ubuzima mu Karere ka Bugesera, na we uvuga ko muri iyo gahunda nshya yo gushyira abakozi mu myanya bitaye cyane ku mubare ikigo nderabuzima runaka cyakira, mu gihe mbere barebaga aho giherereye gusa, niba ari igice cy’icyaro cyangwa umujyi.

  • Farmers demand subsidies as cost of chili, French bean seeds hit roof #rwanda #RwOT

    Horticulture farmers have expressed frustrations over hiked vegetable, fruits seed prices especially French beans and chili and appealed to the Government to introduce seed-subsidy program to facilitate their farming.

    The concerns were raised in Kigali on 20th November 2020 during a meeting of stakeholders in horticulture subsector to discuss issues and opportunities around the seed industry in Rwanda.

    They explained that Chili pepper farmers need Rwf 700,000 or Rwf 1 million to afford seeds to plant on a hectare depending on sought variety while the price for French beans seeds to be planted on a hectare is Rwf 500,000.

    Devotha Mukaserire, the representative of farmers’ groups involved in the agriculture of fruits, vegetables and flowers in Rwanda cited higher price for Hybrid seeds as one of major challenges facing farmers.

    'Seeds for vegetables, fruits and flowers are very expensive. Most of them are imported leading to higher prices. That’s the most challenging issue. This pushes farmers try to evade the high cost by multiplying seeds themselves with inadequate skills that sometimes multiply seeds from sick crops resulting into the spread of crop diseases,' she said.

    Mukaserire explained that chili and French beans are the most expensive even though seeds for tomatoes, carrots and green pepper and green pepper are not sold at fair price.

    She appealed to the Government to intervene by producing expensive seeds locally to make them affordable at lower cost or implement subsidy measures to facilitate smallholder farmers who fail to plant these crops due to soaring price.

    Emille Uwimana, a chilli farmer in Rwamagana district also reminisced on the higher and demanded for measures to subsidize vegetable seed price.

    'I am required Rwf 720,000 to grow chili on a hectare and over Rwf 500,000 to grow French beans on the same land. This is additional to funds invested to hire arable land and pesticides making it a huge investment,' he said.

    Uwimana said that expensive price incurs loss sometimes in case of poor market conditions.

    Alex Uwizeye, Country Coordinator of AgriProFocus, an international multi-stakeholder network in the agri-food sector explained that expensive seeds should not matter because it goes with quality seeds and improved produce.

    'We consider something expensive when invested money cannot be recovered. However, it is corresponding when something expensive brings good productivity. The matter should be finding out whether everyone can afford such seeds. Not everyone can afford it but we don’t want everyone to grow chili,' he said.

    Uwizeye however explained that concerned parties including AgriProFocus are seeking remedy to produce vegetable seeds locally to reduce cost.

    Dr Assinapol Ndereyimana, a researcher at Rwanda Agriculture Board(RAB) explained that French beans and chili are particularly for business people.

    'Chili is exported and seeds grown in most places are the same. It is rarely sold at low-cost. The seeds for chili are not expensive on one hand because many people are doing it for business purposes. I am against the idea of introducing subsidy program for chili growing yet it is like other businesses,' he said.

    Dr Ndereyimana highlighted that other seeds are classified into different categories that farmers can chose from a wide variety matching their financial means.

    He pointed out that onion seeds vary from Rwf 10,000 and Rwf 40,000 while the cost of Hybrid seed costs Rwf 150,000.

    RAB is undergoing research on chili seeds so that farmers can afford them in coming days.

    Jacques Tuyishime, the Managing Director of Holland Green Tech which sells agro-inputs including vegetable seeds among other agricultural equipment explained that high cost of vegetable seeds emanates from resources investing by manufacturers.

    'Planting chili on a hectare might require between Rwf 700,000 and Rwf 1 million investments on seeds. However, the produce recovers the capital and generates profit. If chili seeds take 10% of the capital, it doesn’t mean expensive cost. Farmers have inadequate means sometimes requiring them to seek loans from financial institutions. It takes big investments but generates huge returns,' he observed.

    Horticulture farmers following discussions during a meeting of stakeholders in horticulture subsector to discuss issues and opportunities around the seed industry in Rwanda.

    Devotha Mukaserire, the representative of farmers’ groups involved in the agriculture of fruits, vegetables and flowers in Rwanda cited higher price for Hybrid seeds as one of major challenges facing farmers.

    Alex Uwizeye, Country Coordinator of AgriProFocus explained that expensive seeds should not matter because it goes with quality seeds and improved produce.
