This project was developed in collaboration with Rwandan polytechnic students, the FIA, and the Rwanda Automobile Club.

The event, held on Thursday December 12, 2024 at Kigali Convention Centre also saw the presence of President Paul Kagame and the President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

Harvey’s visit coincides with the ongoing General Assembly of the FIA, which will conclude on Friday, December 13, 2024. This marks his second visit to Kigali, following his first trip in November 2024.

During that earlier visit, Harvey engaged in discussions with President Kagame on potential investment opportunities in Rwanda’s events and entertainment sectors.

At the time, Harvey took to social media to share his admiration for Rwanda and President Kagame, saying, “We had the pleasure of sitting and meeting His Excellency my brother President Paul Kagame. I was truly inspired by his strength and humility. A testament to Rwanda’s resilience and acts of forgiveness.”

Known for his work on The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Family Feud, Celebrity Family Feud, and his long-running role as the host of Miss Universe, Harvey’s career spans decades.

From his stand-up comedy days in the 1980s to his rise in the 2000s with The Original Kings of Comedy, he has become one of America’s most beloved personalities.

A memorable moment from the occasion was captured in a photo featuring Harvey alongside Francis Gatare, CEO of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
