Friecca Pharmacy Started Humbly When Owners Sought Business Mentorship.

By Roperfree 

Friecca Pharmacy started humbly, with one of its owners, Freedah (Musawo), regularly purchasing cosmetics from Mr. Eriabu Kasumba’s shop, Kabale Busega Store, which was located at Plot 36, Kampala Road.

Freedah (Musawo) was very vibrant, happy, eager to learn, and determined to master the skills of business. The writer remembers how she used to come to Kabale Busega Store almost every Saturday. She did not come only to shop, but also to be mentored and motivated by Mr. Kasumba, the proprietor of Kabale Busega Stores Ltd.

Mr. Kasumba encouraged Musawo to remain committed to business and to work hard, assuring her that she would become successful. Today, Musawo speaks highly of Mr. Kasumba and credits his encouragement and mentorship for helping her build a successful and vibrant business.

Friecca Pharmacy, located in Wandegeya, has become one of the well-known pharmacies in Uganda. It is among the pharmacies known for opening early and closing late in order to serve the masses. The pharmacy is also well known for stocking a wide variety of medicines and drugs. If you fail to find a prescribed medicine at other pharmacies in Kampala, you can be assured that Friecca Pharmacy may have it.

As karma comes into play, Friecca Pharmacy is now one of the distributors of Roperfree Brand Products. It is also connected to its sister company, operating under the brand name Fame Pharmacies, which has several branches in and around Kampala.

This week, as we commemorate 17 years since Mr. Kasumba’s departure, his legacy and the seeds he planted continue to flourish and impact many people through entrepreneurship and mentorship.

Grab your Roperfree Brand Products from Friecca Pharmacy or from its sister pharmacies under the Fame Pharmacies brand.

Mr. Kasumba’s legacy lives on—not only through the businesses he built, but also through the people he mentored, encouraged, and inspired.

Moses Matovu with the Afrigo Band’s First Tour in London

By Roperfree  I grew up listening to Moses Matovu with the Afrigo Band. Mr. Matovu was a very calm, disciplined, and respectful man with great integrity. I had my first encounter with Afrigo Band in London in the early 1990s. This came about because Mr. and Mrs. Othieno were among the sponsors of Afrigo Band. Mrs. Othieno, Gertrude Kamya, who is a good friend of my sister Millie, called me to see whether I could be of assistance to Afrigo Band with their accommodation during their tour of London. She also asked me to provide them with snacks during breaks in their performances .I found accommodation for the band on Romford Road in Forest Gate, East London, and I was among the people who welcomed Afrigo Band when they arrived. This was the first time Afrigo Band had performed in the UK, and their concert in London, at Stratford, was massive! The hall was packed to full capacity, with revellers filling every available space. The police had to intervene because of the overwhelming cro...
