Kakuru the chairman and CEO of the Rostec Education group South Africa, chairman Vavika Financial services and Director of Rostec Empowerment Consulting and ROSTEC Empowerment consulting narrates how a person from upcountry ( Mbarara in western Uganda) managed to succeed in a foreign country with alot of hard working individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A son of the late Edward Bwahika , Mbarara former district National Resistance Army (NRA) mobilizer in Greater Ankole Region , was Born in Katukuru Village , Nyakayojo Division the current Mbarara City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is a qualified teacher who was among the few who tapped in the opportunities that existed in South Africa in 2000 after it had just attained it’s independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says that he raised some money from the sale of cows as well as from rent received from his father’s property to go to South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like any other person in new environment I met new people both Ugandan and from other countries and I had to blend in and obviously learning a new local languages as the natives preferred to speak their home language<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Unlike many other people in the Diaspora I arrived in South Africa with some money on me like $15000 on me and was lucky I got a teaching post in the 2nd Month of my arrival so it was not a big hussle that I actually invested in a small retail business shop with a Ugandan friend I had met there who used to import merchandise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That upon raising enough funds , Kakuru started investing in schools like ROSTEC in Johnannesburg which gave birth to a number of enterprises which have helped him to invest in other business ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being that he was born from a political family his love for NRM led him to become the Patron of the same party in South Africa , the position he is serving currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He asked all Ugandans in the diaspora to always think about also investing in their home country (Uganda) as he has done to promote development at all levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
