Welcome to 24 hour-almost MTN centre

It's one in the morning in the once dull Nyarutarama leafy environs and the area's near-permanent non-stop party is getting into full swing.
Reggeaton music echoes from one bar where Kigali’s new twenty-and thirty-something residents drink Mutzig beer and Uganda Waragi from the bottle.

Crossover, a raw new school rap music and techno music belts out of another bar in another corridor next door where almost identical-looking customers in black leather jeans and jackets with hoods do the same. This is the famous MTN Centre.
Kigali’s leading corporate class wannabes hangout at MTN as one of several attempts to dodge the lower class folk, the class with smelly armpits, poor French or English accents and an even poorer sense of fashionable attires.
