The newest expatriate sport in Rwanda? Motorcycle polo.
Instead of horses, of which there are few in Rwanda, players drive and ride motorcycles, of which there are many. Along the slick roads here, in Rwanda’s capital, they are commonly used as taxis, and a growing number of young Rwandan motorcyclists turn up at competitions to show off and practice their skills.

I am pretty sure the expats do not wear spurs, but perhaps it is only a matter of time.

They do the same in Kampala.
As a former expat who participated in Kigali motopolo, I can assure you they/we didn’t wear spurs and that the drivers have a great time.
