Ruwa Mangi!

Happy and in love, this is tragic bride Jia Ashton on her wedding day to husband Matthew.
The pair pose in matching bright white outfits in the sunshine, by a lake surrounded by mountains for their marriage in China in 2006.
But the 24-year-old's happiness was short-lived: last week graduate Jia was found battered to death in woodland close to a country path known as 'The Yellow Brick Road'.
Her body was dumped in the woods at the village of Somercotes, Derbyshire, last Sunday, three days after she disappeared.

The husband of the economics graduate told the Daily Mail Via a relative, he hoped the killer was found 'swiftly', as it emerged he had checked in to a Travelodge near the murder scene just minutes after she was last seen alive.
Primary school teacher Matthew Ashton is thought to have gone straight to the hotel after work that evening because the couple had had a row.
He is recorded on CCTV checking in at 5.15pm on March 10, seven minutes after wife Jia was filmed by security cameras leaving work.
Police believe Mrs Ashton, 25, met her killer just moments later as she made her regular mile-and-a-half journey home along the limestone path opposite the factory of luxury chocolate maker Thorntons, where she worked as a graduate trainee.
In his statement to this paper, the teacher said he was 'grateful' for the press and public's help in 'increasing the public awareness of what has happened' as well as calling for the killer to be caught 'swiftly'.
It was issued before CCTV emerged yesterday showing Mr Ashton, 26, who is staying with friends, checking in to the budget hotel off the A38 at nearby Swanwick, around half a mile from the murder scene.

Plea: Matthew Ashton issued a plea for the killer of his wife, right, to be caught 'swiftly'

He left at 7.30am the following day and is thought to have gone straight to Blidworth Oaks Primary School in nearby Mansfield. 
It was only that evening when he returned to the couple's semi-detached home in Somercotes that he raised the alarm after discovering his Chinese-born wife was missing. 
It has also emerged that Mrs Ashton may have met an American man on the internet. Former colleague Adrian Ellis, 28, said she had been talking to the man via a webcam. He said: 'She made it sound like a bit of a laugh but said he would show off bits of his body.'
A friend of Mrs Ashton, who did not want to be named, said: 'Jia was a really lovely girl. She was such a gentle, placid person. Absolutely lovely.'
The Ashtons are thought to have met when both studied at Warwick University.
Friends say the couple were 'very happy' and still 'very much in love'.
In an unusual twist, Mr Ashton's father, John, 61, is married to Jia's mother and they live together in England.
The teacher, who also works as a private piano tutor, was arrested and questioned for three days over the killing before being released without charge. Police have said he is 'no longer part of the investigation'.
On Saturday, police revealed they had found Mrs Ashton's handbag in the woods and some of its contents may be missing.

Residents have also reported a young man acting 'shiftily' near the path, known locally as the Yellow Brick Road. Another man reported on Facebook that a man on a scooter had been seen riding up and down a road close to the scene.  
Miss Ashton stood just 4ft 10in tall and police have said her slight build meant she would have offered little resistance when her killer pounced. 
Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Cotterill, who is leading the hunt for the killer, said: 'I believe the key to finding out who killed Jia will be provided by the local community.
'Following the vehicle stop checks… people have come forward with new information which will be fed into the investigation.
'I am pleased with the response from the community so far and I would urge people to continue coming forward, especially if they were in the area of Sleetmoor Woods between 4pm and 7pm on Thursday, March 10, which was the day before the tragic events of the Japanese earthquake.
'We know the woods are well used, particularly by dog walkers and joggers, and witnesses have described seeing other people in the woods that day but for whatever reason, these people have not been in touch.
'We would also like to speak to a motorcyclist using the woods that evening. They are not in any sort of trouble, we just need to find out whether or not they saw anything that could help with our investigation.'
Mrs Ashton died after an assault but no weapon was used and there was no evidence of a sexual element to the attack.
Det Chf Supt Cotterill said he was not aware of any threats made to Mrs Ashton, or any problems with people in her life.
