When you meet South Africa based money bag, Ivan Semwanga now, before he greets you, he first pulls out a newspaper which he has kept as a souvenir to show you how he made it on the front page.
On Monday Semwanga featured on the front page of one of the local tabloids in South Africa known as Daily Sun. His photo was seconded by a big headline ‘Cash for needy!’.
Excited Semwanga posted on his facebook bragging how he is blessing the less blessed.
“Cash for the needy!!! Yes we blessing the less blessed,” Semwanga posted.
For the past few days, the tycoon has made a name in donating money to the needy and this has caught the eyes of South Africans wondering how a mysterious man came from nowhere to start helping the needy.
According to the Daily Sun, his gesture has attracted public attention. “Social media is going crazy with women trying to locate the blesser” it wrote.
Semwanga gives out R400 to every needy which is equivalent to $30.
His ‘good giving heart’ in South Africa has started to bother Ugandans wondering why he has to help people in another country yet when he comes here Semwanga just uses his money to cater for his luxurious lifestyle.
