They the same people. why the deceptions?
Its always been a strictly hierarchical society,controlled by the King,royal family,courtiers and ruling clans with life and death powers over the lower class Tutsis and Hutus. In such a world deception is a key survival strategy known as UBWENGE-circumspection,subtlety and outright dishonesty. That trait was noticed by the earliest explorers and still dominates Rwanda today.
""The German Richard Kandt (German explorer who became, in 1909, the Imperial Resident of Germany’s East African colony, the
Deutsch-Ostafrika which comprised today’s Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi – then the little kingdom called “Rwanda-Urundi”) studied and wrote about “
Ubwenge” in 1921 in his book,
Caput Nilli. He discusses in this book how Rwandans are taught to lie: “
Ubwenge” is a form of education in which from childhood Rwandans, especially Tutsis are taught lying and misrepresentation:… For Tutsis, lying does not offend their moral concepts because, for them, it is a sign of nobility…”. Moreover, the Rwandans are taught to fool, to manipulate, to divert the attention of the curious so that they do not focus or find out what the Rwandans want to hide or lie about:
“…
If he (the stranger, especially the European) asks for the mountain,… show him the fields along the sides of it; if he asks for rivers, show him the cows that are drinking the water; if he asks for the huts, show him the banana trees nearby. Always keep lying, keep lying, keep lying. This is your strength.""

Ugapfuruba is a natural outgrowth of this.
