Upon receiving the news, Stanley Ssempijja – a self-proclaimed richest 26-year-old-Ugandan – said he was glad that his efforts in business and trying to uplift young people through positive motivation is paying off in ways that he could not fathom.

My mission has been to have an iPhone for every Ugandan but now that I see the scale of Sage Buyers recognized across the continent, maybe I should consider growing the business continentally as well.
