Epimaque Ngashotsi aged 101 is one of the few living distinguished Rwandans that have a remarkable contribution to Rwanda’s liberation and the defeat of the Nazi regime in Germany
.
The 2-meter-tall World War II veteran and
Inyenzi fighter with an acute memory, now lives a humble life with his two granddaughters in remote Kamamesa village in Gatsibo district.
“I was born in 1920 at Gahini village part of present day Kayonza district,” Nyagashotsi told
Taarifa from the comfort of his home on a Sunday afternoon.
Growing up through an entire century, Nyagashotsi says that his main food has been beans, potatoes, sorghum bread and large amounts of milk.
