The Long Form Podcast

Why A US Developer Bet $26M on 'Brand Rwanda' | Andrew Feinstein on Kagame, Zaria Courts & Africa

LF MEDIA Season 3 Episode 29

What drives an American real estate developer from Denver to invest $26 million into Rwanda’s sports infrastructure? 

In this episode of The Long Form, I sit down with Andrew Feinstein, the man behind Kigali’s stunning Zaria Court project in the heart of Kigali Sports City. 

We explore his partnership with NBA executive Masai Ujiri, his insights into the man that is President Paul Kagame, and his bold vision to revitalize Africa’s sports complexes—from BK Arena to Amahoro Stadium—without letting them become white elephants. We also discuss his long-term bet on Brand Rwanda, his take on African economic growth, and why he believes sports infrastructure can transform economies across the continent.

If you’re interested in Rwanda’s development, African sports business, real estate, leadership, and Pan-African investment, this is a must-watch.
