Fred Vunjabei (born Fred Fabian Ngajiro) is a Tanzanian citizen and renowned businessman. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Vunjabei (T) Group Limited and President of Too Much Money Company.
The name “VunjaBei” is a Swahili slung that means “discount breakdown” in English. This name came in Fred’s mind when he saw that most of other retailers in fashion stores were retailing at higher prices and therefore not everyone could afford to buy from them. He therefore decided to create an opportunity for anyone with as little as they had to be able to afford clothes, shoes and other merchandise.
