- Being a motor vehicle mechanic, especially in many African countries, is a preserve for men. Some say that men are ‘born to know everything about cars’, while women are good enough if they can just drive.
In fact, it is presumed that women know nothing about cars, especially when it comes to knowing how vehicles operate, let alone fixing mechanical problems.
But that is not Irene Mukahirwa, one of the best female mechanics in Rwanda. Not even motherhood could stop the 32-year-old, who from an early age vowed to do the kind of work done by boys and excel at it.

Luladey Takele Teshome has joined forces with Astérie Hitimana of Twinkle by Asty Fashion House for a project dubbed ‘Untitled’ that fuses art and fashion. It was launched on February 26.
“We actually named it ‘Untitled’ because we wanted to engage the audience and our customers. We wanted to engage other Africans, to actually have a say in what we were creating,”
“It came from the desire to merge art with fashion, and trying to create something new and fresh that is for Rwanda. Initially, what we had in mind was we would have an art piece as well as a collection and we would have that out,” Lula says.
Lula collaborated with Hitimana, who has been in the fashion industry for five years, to give fabrics a local and artistic touch at the same time. The duo is making clothes which they believe makes an ‘African’ statement whenever one wears them.
