The Rwanda Rugby Federation (RFF) has announced that the 2025 rugby league season will start on March 22. They decided this during their yearly meeting in Kigali on Sunday, February 09.
This year, 12 teams will play in the league. Three new teams are joining: Alpha Kagugu RFC, 1000 Hills, and Muhanga Thunders. The RFF accepted them as new members at the meeting.
Muhanga Thunders and 1000 Hills did not play last season for different reasons. Muhanga Thunders dropped out at the last minute because they did not have enough money. 1000 Hills could not play in any RFF matches until they finished some important paperwork to become a member.
The other teams playing this season are the champions Lions de Fer, Resilience, Kigali Sharks, UR...
For more than 20 years, other countries have given Rwanda free HIV medicine. The medicine is called antiretroviral treatment or ARV. Over 210,000 adults in Rwanda live with HIV. Almost all of them take ARVs. The United States and other groups pay for the medicine.
Francois Xavier Karangwa works to help people with HIV in Rwanda. He worries about what would happen if the other countries stopped paying. Not long ago, the United States said it would give less money. The free HIV medicine still came, but Karangwa says Rwanda should make a plan in case the money stops one day.
Karangwa thinks Rwanda's government, businesses, and people should work together. They need to find ways to pay for the medicine without help. It would be very bad...
Rwanda wants to produce more meat each year. They plan to go from 207,097 tons in 2023/24 to 247,223 tons in 2028/29. The Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) shared this information.
The numbers show Rwanda hopes to increase meat production by almost 20% over five years. Solange Uwituze works at RAB. She said in 2023/24, Rwanda made 207,097 tons of meat. They wanted to make 215,058 tons.
Rwanda didn't quite reach its goal because of a long dry spell. The dry weather meant less water for cows. That led to less meat. The high cost of animal feed also made it harder to produce as much meat.
Rwanda has ideas to help make more meat. They want to set up special places to breed small animals like pigs. They will...
President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa says a meeting between leaders of East and Southern Africa gives hope for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The meeting took place on Saturday, June 8, in Tanzania. The leaders made an important choice to include both the government and rebel groups like M23 in future peace talks.
Some people have questioned why South Africa sent soldiers to fight against the M23 rebels in eastern DR Congo. They wonder if South African leaders have personal money reasons for getting involved.
President Ramaphosa just returned from the meeting in Tanzania. He believes the best way to solve a conflict is to ensure that all the groups involved take part in the discussions, whether they are part of the...

People are talking a lot about new computer parts called the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. These are special pieces that help computers show beautiful games and pictures. No one knows the exact price yet, but experts think they might cost between $300 and $450.
These new parts will use GDDR7 memory, which helps them work faster than older ones. The basic RTX 5060 will have 8GB of memory, which makes it perfect for playing games on computer screens. The bigger version, called RTX 5060 Ti, might come with either 8GB or 16GB of memory, so people can pick the one that best fits their needs.
A company named Zotac showed pictures of boxes for these new parts. The boxes say both parts have 16GB memory, but many people think this might be wrong...
Some special computer parts called graphics cards need lots of power to work. They have special plugs that connect them to the computer's power box. These plugs must fit perfectly! If they don't fit just right, they can become very hot and melt. The corners of these plugs can become extra hot.
Some people buy different plugs because they look prettier or are longer. This can be dangerous! These different plugs might not be made as well as the ones that come with the computer. Even though these plugs cost about 22 dollars, they could break your expensive graphics card if they're not good enough.
Someone shared a scary story about this on the internet. They had a very fancy graphics card called the GeForce RTX 5090. They used a plug...

The outside of the box...
