Mbonyi has established himself as one of Rwanda\u2019s prominent gospel musicians, attracting a following through his worship and praise songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Media personality Ally Soudy, who also attended the comedy show, promoted another upcoming entertainment event.
