City businessman Jack Pemba returned to the country with his big heart.
He was picked up from Entebbe airport by Brian Ahumuza the founder of the Abryanz Fashion and Style Awards and he made a big announcement as soon as he stopped off the plane.
“I am going to give Shs100m but I’m expecting to increase the sponsorship the next week. Fashion is a big thing in Uganda,” Pemba said.
“I told my friend Brian that if he put my name and my company on board, there are opportunities for more sponsorships. There is a company from Dubai and another from Belgium that are coming on board,” Pemba said.
“I have always wanted to put my money in the right place and I am proud to be associated with the ASFAs. The event has Africa’s biggest fashion designer David Tlale and Mafikizolo will also perform. This is big stuff,” he said.
