His venture into journalism began with a light-hearted yet satirical publication titled"Kazagwa," featuring a fictional character named Kazagwa, who symbolized the typical Rwanda n.While initially apolitical, the paper evolved over time to serve as a tool for highlighting the injustices faced by ordinary Rwanda ns under the government's unfair policies that were characterised by divisionism based on ethnicity and regions.
"Many journalists who later launched their own publications had previously worked for Kanguka," he narrated. Fortunately, in 1991, former president Juvenal Habyarimana granted amnesty to political prisoners, including Rwabukwisi and his colleagues. "Someone told him, 'you were sentenced to 17 years in prison before. Now you are back in jail for four months. The next thing is that they are going to kill you,"' Rangira narrates.
One day, in 1990, according to Rangira, Kajeguhakwa was attacked at night by army officers and policemen at his home in Gisenyi, accusing him of working with the RPF Inkotanyi. They asked him to go to the printer, and publish the newspaper with the dissenting opinion, without Rwabukwisi's authorisation. He did it but it required him to change the last letters of the name of the publication, in order to be allowed to publish without the owner's consent.
