About Me

Am Roho Mwero Muzi, a 49 years old family man.Am married with seven children. Two in secondary school and three in primary school. and are married and have their families too. Am a resident of Mtwapa. I went to Kinango primary school in Kwale district in 1975. i did my class seven exam in 1982. I stayed at home for one year waiting for fees and later joined Kwale high school in 1984 I finished my secondary school in 1988. There after i joined Kisauni youth polytechnic and did a mechanics course. I completed my course in1992 after a period of four years in the polytechnic. With the certificate from the polytechnic i started the search of a job.I later got an attachment at a local garage where i did a half salary job for six month. I was then employed in another garage where i was being payed a full salary but this was not enough to meet my family needs. That's why i started doing business.I started the photo studio business. It is a good business and i like it. At the photo studio i provide services like photo prepossessing . i also sell mobile phone covers empty Cds and also electrical accessories. Its a good business because in a month i get a monthly income of ksh 35,000. with this i pay my assistant ksh 10,000 , ksh 3,000 is used to pay the shop rent,ksh 2,000 is used to pay my house rent, ksh 6,000 goes to school fees,ksh 5,000 goes to my family food budget. I save ksh 9,000 per month. I face risks like price fluctuation some time you get a commodity at a high price so your profit lowers. So with the saving i will use to pay my loan.

    Dear lenders, I called Mr. Muzi but he was not in his office. I passed the message to his assistant and asked him to get in touch with me. I will keep you posted.

    Dear Lenders
    Mr Muzi Paid KES 900 on April 24, will make another payment next week. He is determined to clear his arrears in spite of the difficulties he is facing in his business.

    Dear lenders, I spoke to Roho on 12th April and he said he had a court case that drained his resources. However, he will resume paying on Friday 18th.

    I phoned Roho today 12:13pm. He says he has a court case that cost him about $450 in a bond to bail out his shop assistant who was arrested by a copyright board official for alleged infingement. He promises to start repaying mid this month. Thank you

    I phoned Roho today 11.28am and inqured about the overdue repayments. He explained that he had difficulty raising fees for his children and therefore spent most of his income on educational fees. He also revealed to me that there was an office that he went to be assisted on making the repayment via Mpesa but the office is currently closed shop. I texted him the Paybill No. he promised to make a hefty repayment on 23rd December 2013.

    Dear Roho Muzi

    With the added requirement for borrower to have a Facebook account I no longer can support Zidisha. I personally find it immoral to place this requirement on people. Facebook is an unrelated business that neither provides creditable authentication or appropriate credit checks. There are valid reasons why people choose not to disclose their life to Facebook and we need to respect their decision. There is nothing humanitarian about requiring people in need to disclose their life to Facebook.

    Because of this I requested that Zidisha forgives my part of the outstanding balance of your loan. I regret that I will no longer be able to provide loans to you and others in Africa. Best wishes business endeavor.

    Sincerely,
    Claus
