Group Profile
Kishugu means anthill in Swahili. The Kishugu logo symbolises the anthill shape, a halo of the broad, all-encompassing nature and activity of the company and symbolises the collective of working together. It also encapsulates the vision to grow, see beyond the horizon and excel beyond all borders.
