In the Western Province of Rwanda, 18 people have died in the past three months after consuming illicit brews, according to Jean Bosco Ntibitura, the Governor of the Western Province.

As part of these efforts, breweries that produce such brews, including those known as “Ibyuma”, have been shut down and banned from selling their products on the market.
The Governor discussed the issue in an interview, highlighting the need to address the problem of illicit brews in the region.
