Rwanda’s former army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa looks on at a court in Johannesburg on July 10, 2012.  Ex-Rwandan army general is in court to testify in the trial of men charged with attempting to kill him outside his Johannesburg home in 2010. Nyamwasa told a South African court on June 21, 2012 that he was shot two years ago for defying President Paul Kagame, as he testified in the trial of six men.  “The reasons why I would think anyone would want me dead is that I have over the years defied the leadership, in particular President Kagame, on things that needed change,” Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa told a Johannesburg court.
