Huyo kweli ni hustler. Kumbe he survived Idi Amin’s purge against Asians and still lingered within Uganda.

For those who have been in Uganda can can resonate with Mukwano malls. His premises occupy half of kampala if not more.

Kuna moja pale karibu na old bus station ndo huwa my landmark

Mukwano is Luganda for friendship.

Amesema Mukwano mall. It was his brand name.

He has several companies under the conglomerate Mukwano Group, it manufactures soap, beauty products. There is also Mehta Group family who own Lugazi Sugar and the Madhvanis who own Kakira sugar.

I would also love to read his story…must have been one hell of a hustler:D

Wait, MUKWANO alikuwa MUHINDI?

No problem, my Friend. Kua na amani.

Sabuni ya NOMI nimetumia kufulia nguo,

Viti za plastic za MUKWANO nimezikalia sana.

Kitambo i used to see some green tankers on A104 , pulled by Msedes Powerliner. They had the classic
mukwano handshake logo on them.

RIP

Na Iko hoteli HBT hapo next very nice hotel. That is Old Kampala not far from the Gadaffi Moaquue

That family has vast interests in real estate across East Africa.
There are two that I am looking at right now.

The Mehtas were also the original owners of Miwani before the government nationalized it.

Any relation to Mehta Elecricals?

Not sure but that family is big.
