Uganda is mourning the death of the country’s biggest private school entrepreneur, reports Nebert Rugadya from Radio One in Kampala.
Prof Lawrence Mukiibi died on Sunday of cardiac arrest, the Novik Hospital in Kampala says.
He started St Lawrence Schools in 1993 and went on to open eight schools and a university, which teach as many as 30,000 students at any one time.
In 2013, Mr Mukiibi admitted the schools were for rich students and opened the Academy of St Lawrence for poorer people, costing as low as 200,000 Ugandan shillings ($56; £43) per term.
