Doesn't it all come down to viability? There are limits to how much any community in the world can do for its members. I'm sure many of Nakumatt's creditors are members of the Asian community. Your own brother would be hesitant to sink their savings in your collapsing business. All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

Indians are financially smart,more than they are communal or collaborative. "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."

Nakumatt owners will actually get very rich if the chain goes down. To Each His Own

Yes, that's the bottom line, and also, having dealt with family business, I have a suspicion that the owners want to dictate some sweet terms for themselves out of pride. Lakini mahali imefika, they should be happy if someone even just pays off their debt in exchange for the whole company. I'm sure they've made a few billion for themselves over the years, they should just retire into the sunset now and call it a day.

Walked into Nakumatt Mega and could literally smell the stench of death.The shelves were empty. The look on the faces of the few employees hanging around discussing in small groups was heartbreaking Happiness is not the absence of problems, It's the ability to deal with them

Received on Whatsapp yesterday: Breakthrough with Nakumatt. They've just signed a merger with Tuskeys and management will be done by Tuskeys. The Nakumatt family will step down and pledge their shares to the financiers for a period of six years. More details will be in the press tomorrow, somebody just got a call from the CEOBusiness opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

More details will be in the press tomorrow, somebody just got a call from the CEO The challenge with Tuskys is weak governance ( remember recently when the grandchildren stormed the HQ and kicked off the MD) and they may not have a solid financial base to carry Nakumatt and may therefore not put in the cash required "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least."

My question is, if you are a supplier, and you have money stuck in Nakumatt, would you increase your exposure with a Tusky's guarantee, knowing full well you probably will never be repaid what Nakumatt originally owes? Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Hard decision. If you avoid and your competitor takes your place and things go well, you will regret. If you go ahead and things get messed up, you are in trouble once again

Tuskys finances is co-managed by KCB. They can't open any additional branch and appoint a CEO without KCB approval. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
