It was not a smooth ride to the top for Tubanambazi

When he came to Kigali from the Eastern Province about a decade ago, Veatauri Tubanambazi was optimistic and hoped for a better life in the city. But that was never to be and he could only get a job as a moto taxi rider after months as an unemployed youth in the city. However, Tubanambazi was determined to get the best out of the opportunity and ride on it to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a ‘big’ businessman.
