“Mtchaka-Mtchaka for Food Science and Technology” at Busogo Campus has instigated the Mass Sport Establishment in the Campus

By Christophe Habimana and Sandrine Umuhoza


It is often known that coldness favors sleeping, allowing the blanket to engulf the whole of us and then say it is warm enough to stay bound with the bed cover in a snoring (sometimes). The reverse was truly proven today by a tremendously organized mass sport by students in Food Science and Technology in all years.


It was a sport event entitled Mtchaka-Mtchaka for FST whose main aim was to unify students in Food Science and Technology to further know each other and strengthen the bond tying their relationship as well as welcoming new students (from Year Two) in the ever growing society of Food Science and Technology.

It should have been held last week but due to some unexpected inconveniences the event was postponed to today (November 5, 2017). Participants were expected to meet at the basketball ground for gathering and rise together heading outside the campus. They have come one by one, whereby at 06:15’AM sharp, the group was singing encouraging and motivating rhymes for the activity.

The group has gone running from Busogo campus and has made its about turn at the Gataraga suburb heading back again to the campus. Reaching at the campus they made some warm-up sports to stretch the muscles and reuse their articulations which followed by an acquainting session by introducing themselves to each other.


It is through introducing ourselves to each other that we have been surprisingly aware that we were privileged to be with Mr. Hubert BIZIMANA, the Director of Career and Employability in CAEVM, Busogo campus. He elucidated how relieved and heartened he has been, by finding a group that will help him in his routinely sport of Sunday which he has called Sunday sport.


“I’m also a newcomer at Busogo since I’m from Kayonza. But I am a sport lover. I am heartened to hear that there is a group of students in this campus that will help me returning in my usual mood of sport and I will delightfully cooperate”. Mr. Bizimana reported.


The splendor of his passion was proven by the way he has promptly joined the mass sport by instantly reacting as he has, himself said “I was awake and heard a group of people singing songs that I know well to be sung during the mass sport. By moving curtains of my window aside, I found it was you (students) and immediately without a second thought decided to put on my sport clothes and follow you”.


Since sport is one of his duties as the Director of career and employability, he mentioned, he is going to establish a sport club which will have a Sunday sport program as the mass sport for the campus and that it will be for the whole campus (which is a good initiative).


This will continue in the FST students since it is their routine also from the 2015 by the class of 2014/18 (the eldest now) by the sport committee headed by Mr. Ismael MUGARAGU and ON THEIR SHOULDERS Show committee. The unison in this activity from us and our colleagues in other departments will import much as today also some students from crop science were there with us.


The atmosphere was also conducive and the climate was cooperative today since the rain droplets were still captured by their clouds (a proof that God had approved this mass sport). We thank so much students from both years of Food Science and Technology, students from Crop Science and everyone who played any part so as this activity to be successfully implemented.
