Ruwenzori Invest

Ruwenzori Invest

Ruwenzori Invest began operations in 2018 under the Rawji family. The family built its position through Groupe Rawji, whose trading and industrial activities date to the early 1900s. The office preserves and deploys that capital inside the DRC and selected international markets. Deployment centers on direct co-investments, private equity positions, and real estate. Confirmed holdings include stakes in CIMKO cement operations through a joint venture with Lucky Cement Limited and financing participation in Rawbank alongside the International Finance Corporation. Additional positions cover Rafi Port commercial property and mixed-use portfolios in Kinshasa plus Vizione Properties in Dubai. The geographic reach stays inside Africa with secondary exposure through Groupe Rawji trading links to South Africa, Belgium, Germany, China, and India. The team size remains undisclosed. Groupe Rawji reports direct employment of more than 7,000 people across its operating companies. Adjacent structures include Fondation Rawji and the Rawji Family Flow-Through Fund. No material operational announcements have surfaced in the last 24 months. Ruwenzori Invest operates as an extension of an established Congolese industrial group rather than a standalone allocator. Capital allocation therefore aligns with the family's existing operating businesses in cement, banking, cables, and logistics, creating a closed loop between ownership and execution.
