KAMPALA – When Ugandan businessman Hamis Kiggundu, started his first business years ago, he could not have imagined that he would ascend to become one of the most successful business moguls in Africa, let alone Uganda.
At just 37, with a forbes net worth of $870 million; Kiggindu famously known as Ham in his home country, owns a number of buildings in the heart of Kampala city; including a shopping Centre he named, Ham Shopping Mall, Ham Towers, Ham Shopping Grounds, among others.
He is also building a replica of the White House in Kampala, which he says will act as a tourist attraction. “The White House will house the headquarters for all my companies but equally stand as an illustration of possibilities for my fellow Ugandans and Africans at large, if they have it there, we too can have it here. Africans should not chase their dreams out there but rather put in an effort and struggle to implement their desires in Africa. I have always admired the white house as a young man and based on reason, why go to America as a tourist to visit the white house when I have the means to build a look-alike here back home,” says Ham.
