The man is not identified but his death has been confirmed by the local mayor.

The death in the Nyabarongo River has surprised even those who know the reputation of President Paul Kagame’s government for vigorously enforcing the law.

The unidentified man was fishing in the river in defiance of the lockdown.

Mayor Alice Kayitsi of the Kamonyi region in the south of the country says the victim was one of the few people not respecting the directive.

The 40 cases of COVID 19 among Rwanda’s 12 million people is the highest in the region although no deaths have been recorded.
