The Biscuit Baron

The proverbial rags-to-riches story fits best on the story of Madatally Manji. His rise from nothing to driving a big enterprise is similar to that of the late Njenga Karume. Manji built a business from scratch and turned it into a market leader. The business started as a small bakery in Ngara and grew to House of Manji, a household name in Kenya. His business, House of Manji has over the past 50 years supplied high quality and delicious biscuits. (House of Manji was acquired by F.I. Holding- House of Dawda Group in 2002)

Manji had an inspiring autobiography titled ‘Mandatally Manji; Memoirs of a Biscuit Baron’ which you can grab a Copy here

Mandatally Manji passed on quietly on 9^th September 2006 and will always be remembered as a great businessman.

James Njenga Karume is Dead

The former cabinet minister died at the Karen hospital where he was undergoing treatment for prostrate cancer. He served as a member of parliament for Kiambaa constituency and was regarded as one of the most influential politicians in Kenya. Karume was a determined business man this being clearly shown in his inspirational auto-biography titled 'Beyond Expectations: From Charcoal to Gold'.
83 years well lived. Rest in Peace.
