Zura Karuhimbi

 * ... that Zura Karuhimbi saved the lives of more than 100 refugees during the Rwandan Genocide by pretending to be a witch? "She did, however, have a reputation for magical powers.  That reputation, and the fear it engendered in the group of heavily armed men, was enough to keep an elderly woman and more than 100 others safe during the Rwandan genocide... It was a method remembered clearly by Hassan Habiyakare, one of the people the feared "witch" saved." (BBC News)
 * ALT1:... that Zura Karuhimbi claimed to have saved the life of Rwandan president Paul Kagame by disguising him as a girl at the age of two? "According to Karuhimbi, on that occasion in 1959 - as inter-ethnic violence was escalating between the two groups - she advised the mother of a two-year-old Tutsi to take the beads from her own necklace and tied them in a little boy's hair... That boy, she said, survived - and went on to become the man who presented her with the medal, President Paul Kagame." (BBC News)
