Abba Marcus has lauded Juliet Zawedde for her care and support of his father, Jose Chameleone.

"She is taking care of my dad really well," Marcus said when TikToker Sheilah Price asked, "How is Aunt Zawedde?"

Marcus also mentioned that his uncle, Weasel Manizo, is doing well, adding, "He misses his family, but he's good."

Manizo, whose real name is Douglas Mayanja, accompanied his brother, Chameleone, to the United States, where they are both staying at Zawedde's residence as Chameleone undergoes rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, Chameleone and Zawedde have been spotted together at several public events, prompting speculation about the nature of their relationship.

Rumours began circulating after a viral social media video showed the two almost sharing a kiss, igniting widespread curiosity. Many online users are now questioning whether they are romantically involved, particularly given Zawedde’s reported financial contributions towards Chameleone’s medical expenses.

Sources indicate that Zawedde, who resides in Boston, Massachusetts, provided significant financial support to facilitate Chameleone’s travel to the United States for further treatment. While Chameleone was receiving care at Nakasero Hospital in Uganda, Zawedde visited him, further fuelling interest in their connection.

Although the two are said to have been friends for some time, the depth of their relationship remains unclear. Numerous videos showing them appearing affectionate have since emerged on social media, but neither has confirmed whether they are romantically involved.

It is worth noting that Daniela Atim, Chameleone's former wife with whom he shares five children, publicly announced their divorce. Chameleone has also stated openly that he is ready for new beginnings.

The delegation was led by the forum’s Director General, Rajesh Kumar.

During the discussions, Col. Nakalema assured the investors of SHIPU’s commitment to streamlining investment processes and fostering a transparent, corruption-free investment climate.

The delegation was led by the forum’s Director General, Rajesh Kumar

To further facilitate this mission, Col. Nakalema introduced the Uganda Electronic Investors Protection Portal, a digital platform designed to secure and simplify investment processes. The portal offers verified access to government resources, a reporting mechanism for complaints, enforcement follow-up, and regular feedback for investors.

“This online solution ensures that investors conduct due diligence before investing in Uganda,” she added.

On behalf of the forum, Kumar underscored the Indian community’s significant contribution to Uganda’s economy through investments and taxes.

He explained that the Indian Business Forum, an arm of the Indian Association Uganda, works to strengthen business opportunities for Indians and persons of Indian origin (PIOs) in Uganda while fostering networks for economic growth.

“Uganda is the best place to invest due to the favourable investment environment and the good leadership of President Yoweri Museveni,” Kumar remarked.

He highlighted ongoing contributions to sectors such as mining, textiles, cocoa, coffee, and solar energy while expressing the forum’s readiness to invest in value addition for these industries.

He also called for stronger collaboration between SHIPU and the Indian Business Forum to attract more investments.

Adding to the discussion, Manish Kalla, Treasurer of the Indian Business Forum, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to adding value to Uganda’s raw materials, particularly in agro-products.

In response, Col. Nakalema assured the delegation of her determination to address their concerns. “I will not stop at talking. As a soldier, I believe in implementation,” she stated.

The meeting was attended by Fred Ruhindi, former Attorney General, and Hiromi Abe, Private Secretary to the President in charge of Investment Matters.

Hudu Hussein, the former Resident City Commissioner (RCC) of Masaka City, has been transferred to Kumi District to serve as the Resident District Commissioner (RDC).

The transfer was confirmed by Yunus Kakande, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of the Presidency. Speaking to Daily Monitor, Kakande stated, "We have made only those two changes to strengthen administrations."

He explained that RDC transfers are not necessarily performance-related but are often intended to resolve challenges, such as language barriers.

"The RDC who was in Kumi may have faced a language barrier and was not performing well there, so you transfer him to a place where he can mobilise people effectively," Kakande added.

Ahamada Washaki, now the new RCC for Masaka, reflected on his tenure as Kumi RDC, citing significant challenges such as corruption and land grabbing during his two years in the role.

Hussein had been appointed RCC of Masaka in August 2024, following his previous position as RDC for Yumbe District. The August 2024 reshuffle saw President Yoweri Museveni appoint 146 RDCs and 163 deputies, along with 10 Regional Commissioners.

The appointments included Maj. Martha Asimwe as the head of the RDC secretariat, Sr. Grace Akiror as deputy head, and key regional appointments such as Kyabangi Nakato for Central Buganda, Fredrick Mbagadi Nkayi for Kampala Metropolitan, Fred Bamwine for Karamoja, Collins Gertrude Obedi for West Nile, Col. Oguli Damuzungu for Eastern, Lt. Col. James Mwesigye for Western, Dr. James Tweheyo for Rwenzori, and Alice Akello Opio for Northern Uganda.

The President of the National Unity Platform (NUP), Bobi Wine, has clarified that Kawempe North Member of Parliament, Muhammad Ssegirinya, has not been officially declared dead by doctors despite earlier reports.

"CLARIFICATION: According to the doctors, Hon. Ssegirinya MUHAMMAD is brain dead, most of his organs have shut down but he is not yet declared dead. When the mother was told that, she immediately announced his passing. Our teams are on ground monitoring the situation, as we all PRAY FOR A MIRACLE," Wine posted on X, quoting his earlier statement mourning the MP's passing.

Initial reports stated that Muhammad Ssegirinya had been pronounced dead on the morning of Thursday, January 9, at the age of 37. He had been battling cancer and other undisclosed illnesses for some time.

Ssegirinya rose to prominence in 2021 when he contested and won the Kawempe North parliamentary seat under the NUP ticket. He defeated nine opponents, including the incumbent Abdulatif Ssebagala Ssengendo and former Deputy Lord Mayor Sulaiman Kidandala. Although his victory faced legal challenges from Sulaiman Kidandala, the case was dismissed, affirming Ssegirinya as the rightful winner.

His political career was marked by persistence. After losing the Kawempe North seat in 2011 and failing to secure a nomination during the 2016 Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) primaries, he became a councillor representing Kawempe North at Kampala Capital City Authority.

In September 2021, Ssegirinya faced significant legal challenges. He was summoned by the Uganda Police Force’s Criminal Investigations Department over alleged involvement in rebel activities in the Greater Masaka region. Shortly after, he was charged with three counts of murder and one of attempted murder and remanded to Kitalya Maximum Security Prison.

After spending over a year in detention, he was released on bail on 13 February 2023. As the situation remains uncertain, Bobi Wine and the NUP have urged the public to remain hopeful and pray for Ssegirinya’s recovery.

During the Uganda Cranes vs South Sudan Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in October, Joshua Banda made headlines by proposing to Shadia Nakato.

The couple celebrated their wedding reception on Monday, December 30, at the Kabalagala Pentecostal Church along Gaba Road.

The qualifier match, held at the Mandela National Stadium in Namboole, attracted over 40,000 spectators. Uganda Cranes, who have since secured qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, emerged victorious.

Banda, seated in the VIP section of the stadium, named in honour of Pan-Africanist and former South African president Nelson Mandela, had meticulously planned his proposal to Nakato, a businesswoman.Banda, a business administrator at the Africa Bureau of Music in Muyenga—a company co-owned by singer Pia Pounds—collaborated with the musician to organise the special moment.

Initially, the plan was to propose during the half-time break. However, as the second half progressed, the timing shifted to align with any suitable pause in the game, with stadium camera operators briefed in advance.The perfect opportunity arose during a lengthy medical break after Uganda's left-back Abdul Azizi Kayondo sustained an injury.

Banda seized the moment to propose, with cameras capturing the heartfelt scene and broadcasting it live on the stadium's giant screens, much to the delight of the thousands in attendance.

Going beyond immediate relief, the foundation is charting a transformative journey toward self-sufficiency.

The foundation's ambitious endeavor aims to construct a spacious home for 150 orphans, providing them with a secure haven to thrive. With a determined fundraising goal of $70,000, this initiative underscores the organization's unwavering commitment to creating a lasting impact.

Allan Children’s Foundation is building for the underprivileged

To address this urgent need, they have initiated <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-allan-build-a-big-home-of-home-for-150orphans">a GoFundMe campaign</a> to raise funds for refurbishing the existing orphanage rooms. Additionally, the foundation envisions the creation of an expanded learning space and shelter capable of accommodating a greater number of orphans and underprivileged children across Africa.

Allan Kato, Director of the Allan Children's Foundation, highlighted the dire conditions faced by these children, expressing, "The old building had leaky roofs that resulted in flooded beds whenever it rained. Moreover, the existing space can hardly accommodate the 125 children, let alone any more additions. Every contribution, regardless of its size, will make a significant impact on this project."

More than a mere shelter, the foundation's holistic approach embraces essential elements including education, nutrition, healthcare, and a nurturing atmosphere. The mission transcends immediate alleviation of hardships; it is about empowering these children with essential life skills and knowledge, enabling them to lead self-reliant and productive lives.

At its essence, the Allan Children's Foundation is resolute in breaking the cycle of poverty through education and skill development. By investing in the future of these young individuals, the foundation envisions a brighter Africa where empowered citizens contribute positively to society. Their endeavors surpass traditional charity; they are about molding destinies and uplifting entire communities.

Kats made this attack while being hosted on Urban Television's Rush Hour show by Miles Rwamiti.

According to Kats, he knew Julius Kyazze during his hey day and was disappointed when he asked him for money to have Winnie Nwagi perform at one of his initiatives.

As it turns out, MC Kats' grudge with Kyazze is much deeper than meets the eye.

Kats reignited this conversation yesterday, while being hosted on popular entertainment host, Kasuku's, YouTube live.

In a long heated tirade, Kats admits that he is not seeing eye to eye with the talent whisperer as they are now sworn enemies.

According to Kats, Kyazze made him a lot of promises while starting out, which promises he never fulfilled.

According to Kats, by the time Julius pitched his dreams to him, he was already a star, yet Julius was not known by anyone.

MC Kats notes that he did the donkey work for Kyazze's breakthrough project, Buzz, a youth events and publication hybrid, that became famous among the youth later on.

According to Kats, Julius Kyazze is the sole reason as to why Benon Mugumbya split from his singing partner, Elvis Kirya, who is better known as Vamposs.

"You are acting a smart boy, you are acting a good boy, but you are dirty," he revealed.

MC Kats further noted that he is not afraid or scared of Julius Kyazze because he is battle hardened, a fact he admits, Kyazze knows.

According to Kats, Vamposs was the brain child of Swangz Avenue, staying in America for over eight months to put the studio together.

Kats adds that when Benon and Vamposs were done with their American convention, it is the former that returned with the studio mixer.

According to Kats, Vamposs did the donkey work, yet today, he does not have a single share in the present day Swangz Avenue.

Kats further emphasizes that Vamposs stayed behind in the United States, looking for the money that kickstarted the project that became Swangz Avenue.

Kats reports having been an eye witness, when Julius found them in a garage called Kiwundo, where the only possession they had was a laptop and a keyboard.

According to MC Kats, it is in this place that Julius Kyazze brainwashed Benon to separate him from Vamposs.

According to Kats, it is Vamposs that possessed the dream to start the present day Swangz Avenue.

Kats gets into a heated disagreement with Kasuku when he suggests that Swangz wanted to give him a discount when he asked for Winnie Nwagi's services.

However, Kats uncompromisingly notes that the last thing he needs from Julius is a discount because he owes him a lot.

According to Kats, when Julius Kyazze took him for school tours, he did not pay him and neither did he pay him when he promoted Mr. DJ, Swangz Avenue's hit song at Red Pepper.

Kats further added that he will not involve Winnie Nwagi and Vinka in his disagreements with Julius Kyazze since they are young to understand their misunderstanding.

According to Kats, Kyazze gave him nothing yet he gave him half of his career.

"You have never given me anything, yet I gave you half of your career," he notes.

According to Kats, he has crazy beef on Julius, as he laid down his life for him, yet he gave him nothing in return.

During the exclusive, Kats gets heated and refers to Julius as a motherfucker, among other derogatory terms.

"You promised us heaven on earth, yet today, Vamposs does not have even 5% of Swangz," he noted.

Kats further cautioned Julius to never tell anybody that he made Swangz, as he found it okay.

Nevertheless, despite Kats' long revealing rant, Julius Kyazze is in the habit of hardly responding to his critics, as he also never responded to Kats' initial allegations.

Whether he responds to Kats' current allegations is yet to be seen.

According to Kats, it is unfair that Vamposs did the donkey work to start Swangz yet he has no shares in the company today

The singer shared the good news about his expectant girlfriend welcoming&nbsp;a new bundle of joy while appearing in an interview show on Sanyuka television.

The "Seen Don" hitmaker noted that by the time he got involved in the nasty car crash (September 28th,2022), his wife was three moths pregnant.

"I and my girlfriend expect to welcome our first child together. By the time I got involved in the nasty car crash, my wife was three months pregnant by then," Alimpa said.

He explained that apparently, he is filled with the joy of becoming a father and cannot wait to welcome the bundle of joy in his life.

At the moment singer Ronald Alimpa is still nursing a fractured limb and he performs at shows while in his wheelchair.

This might be the reason as to why the singer admitted to have quit toxic substances like the rest of the artists around the world.

He says that back then, he puffed weed at his own desire, as no one would stop him from indulging in the vice.

However, Alimpa finally confirmed quitting the substances following a long spell, when he was bedridden in hospital following a nasty car crash, that almost took his life.

According to the singer, the pain he experienced during the operation was extreme as the doctors advised him to quit drugs if he wanted to live longer.

The artiste noted that by the time he got involved in a nasty car crash, his wife was three moths pregnant.

Chameleone opened up on the pair's friendship while addressing his pre-concert press conference at Fenon Events' company premises.

According to Chameleone, Steve Jean was one of the very first artistes that came before him, and he is grateful to him because he gave him a chance, to become the star he is today.

Chameleone further reveals that Steve Jean was an artiste before joining events and production.

He however notes that Jean ran away from music after Chameleone's music had overwhelmed him.

According to Chameleone, Steve Jean would leave the United States with music, and when time came for him to go back, he would offer Chameleone some fancy tracksuits.

Chameleone further added that it is such friendships that make up the gist of his February 10th show that he has dubbed "Gwanga Mujje".

According to the self proclaimed musical doctor, the concert is aimed at uniting the circles of the people with whom he has been while chasing his music career and dreams.

According to Chameleone, it is Steve Jean that knows where he has been and where he is headed with his career.

Chameleone is arguably one of the most seasoned Ugandan artistes, plying his trade across decades, churning out hit after hit.

He is slated to stage a mega concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval to flex his worth yet again on the 10th of February, in a fiesta that has been dubbed, "Gwanga Mujje".

Such complaints have always been inevitable as this infiltration has ended up affecting artistes as they do not command as much booking power as their Nigerian or South African counterparts.

Worse still, Uganda music consumers have lately shown a preference for Nigerian music as opposed to Ugandan music, especially in hang out spaces like bars.

According to the Ganda Boys, this should not come as a surprise as both Nigerians and South Africans have stuck to their roots, something Ugandans have sidelined.

The Ganda boys opened up on this concern while being hosted by Miles Rwamiti on Urban Television today morning.

According to the Boys, Nigerian music stems directly from the roots, just like their dance does.

The Ganda Boys further add that it is no different from South Africans and Americans as their music also stems from culture.

The Ganda Boys further added that even music that is deemed urban such as Hip-Hop, stems from the lifestyle that Americans live, hence their culture.

The Ganda Boys further added that the blunder most Uganda musicians make is to copy from the American music blueprint because they do not know where exactly the subjects they sing about are rooted.

The Ganda Boys further advised that if musicians focused on their traditional roots music and invested money and knowledge into it, it would be much simpler to attain global pinnacles.
