In a one-man show, the celebrated gospel singer, Mbonyi gave a memorable Christmas to his fans and lovers of gospel, who were seated and standing in a fully packed arena (10.000 capacity).
First of all, all tickets to the show “Icyambu” (meaning- The Port) were all sold out before the D-Day. Tickets were selling from Rwf5,000 – Rwf 20,000.
Also the parking lot inside the Arena was just too small to accommodate all cars and some decided to park in the Remera neighborhood around the Arena.
“In Kigali this December 2023, it will be as usual, we celebrate once again,”Mbonyi said.
