Captain Dollar “Emeese” is that song title that will never leave our daily vocabulary. Because of his song, over 20% new pregnancies were registered, ten thousand virginities were lost and twenty thousand contracted STDs. The rate at which everyone was beating a rat was unimaginable.…

By Ian Ortega We wish to note that this list is not in any particular order or greatness and thus one’s ranking does not correlate with one’s greatness compared to another one below. These are the rappers, who have done Luganda hiphop and done it to a great level in Uganda. 1. GNL Zamba The CEO of Baboon Forest Entertainment may be referred to as the Messiah of Lugaflow. He is the one who actually commercialized Lugaflow and saw it take over the Ugandan scenes. No one will forget his famous ‘Soda Jinjale’ song. He deserves maximum respect. “The #SamsungTwitterParty…

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that there is no agreement with Luis Suarez that would allow him to leave the club if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. The Uruguayan striker said he was unhappy at Liverpool during the close season and the Merseyside club had to fend off interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal before persuading him to stay put. “The #SamsungTwitterParty is back!

It was on his inauguration day in 1994 that the concept of ‘Madiba Magic’ was born – the winning influence that Nelson Mandela engendered whenever he went to watch a South African sports team. A soccer international against Zambia had been organised at Ellis Park in Johannesburg to celebrate the transition of power on May 10, 1994 but the South Africans were outplayed by their guests through a goalless first half in front of a 50,000 strong crowd on a day of celebration. The ceremonies marking the handover of power had overrun at the Union Buildings in nearby Pretoria, meaning…
