- Madatally_Manji abstract "Madatally Manji (1918 – 9 September 2006) was a Kenyan industrialist and entrepreneur, best known for founding the House of Manji, a food manufacturing company and a household name in East Africa.Manji was born in Nyeri, in Kenya's Central Province. He left school early, and worked for some years in a grocery shop, before going into business with his 7 brothers in 1941. In the subsequent decades his business interests were dominated by food manufacturing. Although best known for biscuits (in 1986 the Sunday Times dubbed him "Kenya's Biscuit Baron"), he also manufactured Weetabix and Buitoni pasta (both under licence), sweets and, in the early days, bread. Although Kenya was always his base, he also developed businesses in Tanzania, Pakistan and the UK and had a continuing interest in property development.His approach is best described in his own words, from his autobiography, Memoirs of a Biscuit Baron (published 1995): "When I reflect on my life, I realise that it is very much interwoven with the history of Kenya. I am a self-made man who started his career without the benefit of much formal education, or much capital. For many years I had to work for an average of 16 hours a day, always driven by the unquenchable desire to succeed in life and in business and, above all, to use the independence that success in business would give me to enable me to chart my own course in life".He had a tremendous joie de vivre.[citation needed] He and his wife, Fatima Manji, were renowned for their parties. Every momentous episode of his business life was accompanied with pomp and celebration, including variously Sir Sultan Mohammed Shah Prince Aga Khan III, Karim Prince Aga Khan IV, most the British Governors of Kenya, Presidents Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi. At the House of Manji's Silver Jubilee celebrations, President Moi and most of the Kenyan government was in attendance.".
