Several members of the rally fraternity including Ronald Ssebuguzi, Dan Mubiru “Kikankane”, Ambrose Byona “Omunyeto” and Desh Kananura among others came to welcome Rajiv to the sport.

In April, Rajiv underwent rally-driving instruction in South Africa, under the mentorship of Africa’s highest-rated rallying coach, Leone Botha.

Botha, a multiple former South African Rally Champion described Rajiv as the best raw talent he has ever had to train.

“In contrast with some students, where one is hesitant to issue an unconditional recommendation –based on talent and application thereof, I have no hesitation in stating that Rajiv has been the best experience I have ever had, or should I say enjoyed, from an inexperienced driver,” he stated on Rajiv’s recommendation.
