  • Now, it is common to hear that kenyans abroad are shining in areas like medicine and teaching, if not working, doing consultancy or investing in real estate. But there is a Kenyan who has taken daring abroad to a whole new level. Willy Kathurima is one of the best commercial beef farmers in Botswana. Just what motivated him to travel all the way, at least 4,000 kilometres away from home to look after cattle?Watch KTN Live www.ktnkenya.tv/live

    What a gentleman and very humble.
    Most Kenyans who succeed move, is what I am getting from this show.
    Kenya, beautiful nation, beautiful people. Kenya is the copycat nation 😎 where people wait for others to start a business., then they open an exact same one and charge less... cut throat competition champions.
    A lot of amazing entrepreneurial spirit in most Kenyans. The government needs to support SMEs and microMEs to benefit Kenyans.
    mr Kathurima should be applauded 👏🏾he has made a home + business and contributes to the Botswana economy. Stop asking when he will return home...

      Copy cutting is everywhere. It's the same in China, India the UK the US that's business. If someone copied you, try and be better, it's only when someone steals your copyright and cashes off you that I have an issue but opening the same business that is a universal thing it's not a Kenyan thing.

      As long as it is balanced because if the locals become disadvantaged then the countries become unstable, its good that my country gave this amazing farmer an opportunity because he valued what Botswana has to offer. I think him being a kenyan is good because they are not arrogant or overran any country like others who comes in hundreds and try to take over another country.
