Eric is a former Rwandan international goalkeeper.
In 1994, Eric survived the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. His survival is owed, in part, to the courage and humanity shown by his former teammates of the Rayon Sports Football Club, of which Murangwa was also a member. Murangwa has a mission to make sport and storytelling an integral part of the Rwandan reconciliation and reconstruction process insisting sport is not just for fun and leisure but can also be used as a tool for social change and life skills.
In 1998 Eric was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list for his services to the Awareness and Education of Genocide against the Tutsi of Rwanda.
In 2010, he founded Football for Hope, Peace & Unity.
