Cultural Notes: The use of "mu" as a way of respect in Rwandan culture is expected.

The emphasis should be put on the use of “mu” which is the most formal form of greetings that makes everyone comfortable and more acquainted with the expected form of respect to elderly and superiors. Familiarity and respect should be matched with the individual you are greeting without hurting anyone. Generally, in Rwandan culture, respect is expected when individuals are engaged in a greeting exercise at all time.
