Buganda Road Primary School used to be called "Norman Godinho" before it changed to the current name (during the regime of Amin).The Godinos were very rich Goans who invested heavily in Uganda,some may say they made their riches in Uganda,Norman Cinema Complex belonged to them.,
The Norman Gordino family were real estate investors of a rare kind...moguls!They owned a lot of commercial property in Kampala and residential ones mostly in Kololo including those that Surdhir Ruparelia under circumstances that is not clear 'inherited'. Just follow Sudhir's older property and you get it...
Also they are usually under the Speke company..that entire Trisngle that has Speke Hotel, what used to be the Norman Cinema etc belonged to them, the Current Crane bank head office which used to house the Drapers, City House, many along Jinja and Dewinton Road, structure along Nakasero Market area, structures in Kiyembe and Luwun Street..linearly anywhere in Kampala you find property the belonged to them ...and the list goes on and on.
They migrated during the Iddi Amin era and after they claimed back their property they gave the lot to Sudhir and a few to NGOs including the building where Save The Children UK used to work out of in Kololo.
Of course Sudhir went ahead and put up his own structures but the basic old one that are being pulled down and replaced.
In 1975, Iddi Amin passed a military decree, declaring all private estates and lands to be public property or national assets owned by their non-elected Ugandan government formed from the 1971 coup, which deposed the non-elected President Obote and his junta, formed from the military coup of 1966. Records show that Norman Gordino Primary School became a Government aided school in 1972!
