Socialite Meddie Ssentongo was seen keeping the company of the Rich Gang Crew during their money blowing December holiday.
Some said Meddie was the one picking the drinks from the counter for the South African based “tycoons” Ivan Semwanga, Ed Cheune and King Lawrence.
However, it turns out Meddie was “talking business” and he managed to convince them to allow him join their lucrative South African business.
As we speak, Meddie is in Pretoria and he signed a partnership deal with King Lawrence and Ivan earlier today.
“It is the transaction of the year, education and technology should be the next investement strategy,” Ivan said of the deal.
King Lawrence on his part summed up the partnership as “the three wise men.”
Lawrence and Ivan are involved in the education sector in South Africa with Lawrence owning the Kingsbridge Colleges and Ivan owning Brooklyn City College, Menlyn Technical College, Lincoln International Varsity College and Hartland Training College.
It is rumoured that they started out as sangomas (witchdoctors) in South Africa, but they have since moved on to the education business.
Meddie on the other hand is just testing the South African waters. He recently served a jail term for conning British national David Greenhalgh of several million dollars together with his accomplice Shanita Namuyimbwa more commonly known as Bad Black, who was Greenhalgh’s girlfriend at the time.
They got the money from Greenhalgh claiming they were starting a real estate business Daveshan International but they instead used the money to finance luxurious lifestyles.
At the time of his arrest, Meddie had several sleek cars including a Range Rover, a sleek Mercedes Benz that once belonged to another tycoon Micheal Ezra and a monster Toyota Tundra truck among other cars.
Meddie served his 18 month jail term but his accomplice Bad Black is still in Luzira serving a four year term. She was taken back to Luzira mid last year after jumping bail and fleeing to Rwanda.
Whatever exact business Meddie is doing with the Rich Gang, we are yet to know, but King Lawrence referred to it as a high risk business deal worth millions of rands.
