Whether it’s the intrinsic beauty of a well-manicured, PGA-accredited 18-hole championship course set high on the ridge, offering dramatic coastal views with a spectacular backdrop, numerous water features, and a relaxed atmosphere at dusk, or the satisfying feeling that courses through your hands when you’ve struck the perfect golf shot, there’s just something about this game that brings you back to the course again and again, regardless of whether you played well or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of Tiger Woods, ‘No matter how good you get, you can always get better\u2014and that\u2019s the exciting part.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has never been a better time than right now to take up the game of golf. Kenya is rapidly emerging as a top golfing destination in Africa, hosting global tournaments and carving a niche for itself as a leading golf spot, boasting over 40 world-class courses. Recently, Kenya outshone other African countries, including Morocco, South Africa, and Egypt, winning the Best Golf Destination 2020 category award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vipingo Ridge is currently hosting the largest ladies’ professional golf event in Eastern and Central Africa\u2014the Magical Kenya Ladies Open. One of the primary sponsors of this prestigious tournament is Safaricom\u2019s mobile money service, M-PESA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is often said, ‘Sometimes, your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.’ Well, the first thing that strikes me about the man I am about to chat with is his radiant smile\u2014absolutely photogenic, making my photographer\u2019s job much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, I often contemplated that if I ever met him, the first question I would ask is, ‘What is your Fuliza Limit?’ to break the ice. However, that smile, his smile, seals the deal as I have the honor to engage in a conversation with him\u2014a man whose only dream at a young age was to become a Provincial Commissioner.<\/p>\n\n\n

Peter Ndegwa, 53 years old, is today at the helm of Safaricom PLC, the leading telecommunications company in Africa and which pioneered M-PESA, Africa\u2019s leading Fintech and digital payments platform. He is my guest on Capital Lifestyle’s 25 Questions February edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 Quick Fire questions with Safaricom PLC CEO, Peter Ndegwa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Your favorite Kenyan holiday destination?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWatamu. It is honestly one of the finest Kenyan towns. I like that it\u2019s not too crowded as compared to many other Kenyan destinations especially at the Coast. You find so much peace and solace here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Tik tok or Snap chat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSnap chat any time\u2026\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> What advice would you give an employee on their first day of work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe open minded, be open to learn. You are coming to a new home, take your time to process and understand this- what\u2019s the home like, how has it been functioning. You need to understand the story of how an organization has evolved over time. Remember History is an important driver of the future, so knowing the story that has happened in the company allows you to shape the direction you take as you embrace the new future. Even when you are a new CEO you don\u2019t just come and say on day one, “I don\u2019t like this\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u201d Take time to know what made that organization before embarking on any possible changes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Nike or Addidas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5<\/strong>. What are the 3 least likely words someone would use to describe you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExtrovert, Tall obviously *bursts out laughing<\/em> * and a joker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> What\u2019s the one book you would recommend to another CEO?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrit; The Power of Passion and Perseverance, by Angela Duckworth. I would advise anyone to get it actually. What determines your longevity is not intelligence or upbringing but it\u2019s how passionate you are about what you are doing and how much you persevere and stay true to what you do. Even when you fail, you come back and rise again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shares and believes the secret to outstanding achievement is through passion and persistence- in what she calls \u201cgrit.\u201d Stay true to what you want to achieve no matter what is sent through your way good or bad<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> Favorite app on your phone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cM-PESA App. *he chuckles* You know I have always to sell, it\u2019s part of my Job but seriously, to be fair, its Fitbit.  I run a lot and monitor my sleep. I monitor health, it\u2019s a big thing for me. I have done this for the last ten years. I run 25 kms every week, twice a week. I no longer go to the gym. I create time for this, morning and afternoon. If you don\u2019t create time for yourself, you can\u2019t create time for others. You have to lead yourself, to lead others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.<\/strong> If you could spend a day in someone else\u2019s shoes, whose would they be? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ordinary Kenyan man and what they go through to make ends meet. I want to understand what they go through in their day-to-day life. Our business is about enabling lifestyles and people or even empowering businesses, so the more I can understand what the person goes through, the better. If it was a big leader though and someone who has influence, it would be Tiger Woods and how he has shaped the game of golf from elite white to ordinary and that\u2019s one of the reasons we are sponsoring junior golf in the country, so as to demystify golf. They don\u2019t need to belong to a club to play golf. I want them to have this opportunity and to be empowered. I want them to dream big and to see that it is possible. Empowering you to free yourself.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. F1 or English Premier league?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve attended Formula one a couple of times, but I prefer English Premier League. I\u2019m an Arsenal fan. You need a good heart and Fitbit to be an Arsenal Fan. Its helpful. My son supports Liverpool though and he laughs at me every single time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. 3 people you have never met dead\/ alive but if given chance, you would invite them for dinner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore he passed on, the late Nelson Mandela. Second person would be Golfer Tiger Woods of course and lastly, Former US President Barack Obama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.<\/strong> Physical health or mental health? What takes precedence?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMental Health. It\u2019s very difficult to have good physical health when you don\u2019t have good, solid mental health. I would rather get good sleep than run\/ exercise. I would rather get good sleep when preparing for a big event and I don\u2019t prepare, than prepare and not get good sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

12.<\/strong> Scale of 1-10, how good of a driver are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c6. The times I used to drive; my wife would say I am not a good driver. These days I don\u2019t drive as much as I used to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13.<\/strong> In your opinion, what makes love last- advice to a young couple reading this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust. It is the foundation of a relationship.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

14.<\/strong> Jeans or shorts on a casual day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShorts. On weekends, I wear shorts even when going to the barber. But funnily though because I lived abroad for a long time, I was not a shorts person those days. But now, I even run in shorts and I love it. But when I play golf, I play in trousers. For some reason, I actually don\u2019t play in shorts like most people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15.<\/strong> What\/ Where is your favorite restaurant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would say INTI, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant and Mandhari Restaurant, Serena Hotel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. What\u2019s the first career you dreamed of having as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>You will be surprised. I actually wanted to be a Provincial Administrator\/ Provincial Commissioner. You see I grew up in an era where most of what you had, was the Government\u2019s doing. You respected the provincial administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Favorite scent\/cologne?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSauvage Dior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. How do you keep fit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI run three times a week\/ 25Kms every week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

19. Your favorite Kenyan band, artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNikita Kering. She is very talented. I think she won an award last year and it was really good to see such young talent making a mark not only in Kenya but in Africa at large. She can and will inspire the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Finish the phrase, \u201cthe way to my heart is\u2026\u2026..\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTell me the truth, be honest at all times with me and give your best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Do you have a Netflix Account?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, but my wife and son do have, so I use their accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

22.<\/strong> A gift you wish every husband, was given on their birthday (by their spouse)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ladies won\u2019t like this but here\u2019s the truth. Just focus on the sport that your partner is passionate about.. Buy them something that connects to the sport be it an official jersey or a set of golf clubs or something. There\u2019s always a sport that the man loves. Be less functional and get them something that shows you know the things he likes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23.<\/strong> Golf or rugby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGolf any time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. What advice would you give your young self?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe more patient with yourself. Use the power of people more\/ get the best out of people through what their strengths are rather than what\u2019s missing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. What’s your hidden talent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaekwondo. I learnt it in the last ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
