Georgie Ndirangu Biography

If you would like to know more about George Ndirangu’s life, here is an interview with him that was originally published on a Rwandan website called My Story.

Since that website no longer exists, I am reproducing the interview here:

My way to CNBC Africa – Georgie Ndirangu

September 1, 2017

I am Georgie Ndirangu, 28 years old, and I am presenter and producer at CNBC Africa.

How did you find yourself as a presenter at CNBC and in Rwanda?

I studied actuarial science at university and then I was working in the accounts department at the ministry of housing in Kenya.

At that time, I was also involved with a friend of mine who had a business in Kenya.

He left Kenya and started a new business in Rwanda and left me a message saying that there is an opportunity to handle logistics for a start-up company in Rwanda.

It was a logistics company under Tele10 and I went to work there.

Obviously, with most start-ups you never which direction they will take and it did not go the way it was planned.

However, I became friends with the managing director and he incorporated us into Radio 10.

Back then, I had no proper journalism skills – I had not learned anything on air or anything about intonation and voice. So, he got me linked with some of the other presenters and I used to follow one French journalist.

Every time she went into the studio I wanted to know how she handled her intonation and her voice because French is very different from English.

She then taught me how to handle the microphone, how to present stories and helped me to learn the ropes of journalism in Rwanda.

With time, I got the formal training and it became 5 minutes into the news, then 15 minutes, then 5 minutes business news within that 15 minutes.

Remember, at that time, 5 years ago, Rwanda did not have any proper English news. They started incorporating it into a more formal system and then Radio 10 was the first private radio station.

After about a year, the investor said he wanted to start a television channel – TV10 came about and was the first private TV station.

They managed to get the people from the radio station as presenters because it was obviously more affordable and easier to get us. That’s how it started: I got the job, I started doing the panels and started interviewing different people.

  1. Sounds like an interesting thing especially delivery, I have only managed to do online purchases from Amazon.co.uk and they only deliver books, cd’s and DVDs to .ke. It is increasingly difficult to get the credit card approved without calling the issueing bank before placing the payment otherwise it will be declined.

    1. Hi Kirima,

      I am amazed that Amazon would actually deliver to Kenya. I didn’t expect them too. I think how Afripay aids with delivery is by giving you an address in the US to which you can have your items sent, after which Afripay handles delivery from that adress to Kenya. As I said, I’ve not used that service before so I can’t say much more about it. But yeah, that would be quite helpful.

      About having to call the bank before placing a payment, would that be for a credit card issued from a Kenyan bank, or from outside the country?

  2. thanks for the find. I’ve always wondered who’d fil teh gaopp to enable the unbanked and those without credit cards to reliably purchase goods over the internet

    1. Hi Bankelele,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown (although I know I am on your blogroll, this is the first time that you have actually partaken in the discussion here)!

      Yes, I think Afripay has really done well in bridging that gap! It was my pleasure to share the find with you.

      Biche

  3. thats for a credit card issued by a Kenyan Bank, I read somewhere (check Twende Magazine for Nov. I think) that increased vigilance due to money laundering and the ‘war on terror’ has made it difficult for credit cards issued in some countries in the 3rd world or those linked with terrorism to be honoured in some developed countries

  4. There’ve been many times I’ve wanted to do online purchases but have found myself stuck…this is very useful information …Thanks!
