About Chwezi Core Systems
One partner. Three integrated disciplines. Built in East Africa, for organisations that demand world-class technology, business advisory, and security services.
The Chwezi Story
The Name
The name "Chwezi" draws from the Chwezi Empire — one of East Africa's most advanced ancient civilisations, renowned for their sophistication in governance, infrastructure, and organisation. That legacy of building enduring, well-engineered systems is the foundation on which Chwezi Core Systems was established.
The Problem
Peter Bamuhigire founded Chwezi after years of observing a persistent problem across African organisations: fragmented technology. Businesses were juggling separate vendors for software, networking, security, and consulting — often with poor coordination between them.
International firms offered expertise but at prices that excluded most local organisations, and without genuine understanding of the East African operating environment. Meanwhile, cheaper local providers frequently cut corners, leaving clients with unreliable systems and no long-term support.
The Solution
Chwezi was built to solve this. One partner. Three integrated disciplines — Technology, Business, and Security. Deep technical expertise combined with practical business understanding and a security-first mindset. Incorporated in Uganda as Chwezi Core Systems Limited on 21 December 2025, the company serves organisations across the African continent and beyond — held to international standards.

Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, security, and confidence in operations through innovative technology and unparalleled support.
Our Vision
To be the trusted technology and security partner for African organisations — making world-class ICT, business advisory, and security services accessible to businesses across the continent.
Core Values
The principles that guide every engagement, every product, and every decision at Chwezi.
Profitability
We strive to ensure that we enhance our clients' ability to maximise profits through technology-powered solutions. Every system we build, every process we optimise, and every strategy we recommend is measured by its impact on your bottom line.
Technical Excellence
We invest in deep expertise, not surface-level knowledge. Every team member is a specialist in their domain, and every solution we deliver reflects rigorous technical standards. We build our own software products because we believe in proving capability through practice.
Integrity
We provide honest assessments, realistic timelines, and straightforward advice. If a client does not need a service, we say so. If a cheaper solution will serve them better, we recommend it. Our reputation is built on trust, and we protect it fiercely.
Partnership
We are not transactional consultants. We build long-term relationships with our clients, supporting them through growth, change, and challenges. When we implement a system, we stand behind it — with training, support, and ongoing improvement.
Practical Innovation
We adopt technology that solves real problems, not buzzword-driven trends. Innovation at Chwezi means finding the most effective, sustainable solution for each client's specific context — including their budget, infrastructure, and team capabilities.
Security-First Thinking
Every solution we design — whether software, infrastructure, or business process — considers security from day one. In a world of growing cyber threats and physical security challenges, we embed protection into everything we do, not bolt it on as an afterthought.
