Acrobat Wendy Waeni finally finally got to travel to Rwanda to visit President Paul Kagame after two years of waiting.
The junior gymnast caught the eye of the Rwandese President in 2014 when she performed with her adult crew members during Kenya’s Jamhuri celebrations.
President Kagame then said he would invite the girl to Rwanda a promise that he kept this year.
Ms Waeni had reminded President Kagame of his promise via twitter in August and to everyone’s amusement, he responded to her tweet.
