On Saturday, the StarTimes Uganda Premier League official broadcaster, Sanyuka TV, officially unveiled their new partners, MTN, on a one-year-subsequently-renewable contract, in an event held at the StarTimes Stadium, Lugogo.

The event started off with a press conference addressed by all stakeholders; Sanyuka TV General Manager, Joseph Kigozi, MTN Chief Marketing Officer Somdev Sen, FUFA Spokesman Ahmed Hussein and UPL CEO Bernard Bainamaani all addressed the press.

“We are proud to share that MTN are back in Ugandan football after having done so well when they handled the Uganda Cranes years ago,” Sanyuka’s Kigozi said. “This partnership will add a lot of value to the clubs, with even bigger sponsorships expected as corporate companies will now further be assured of visibility.”

MTN’s Somdev pointed out that the company are excited about the partnership, stating, “We have been waiting for a major opportunity to support sport like this one to jump onto, so we are happy. We are looking forward to seeing Ugandans excited about matchdays, more involved in conversations SUPL and much more.”

This one is also a partnership that feeds into something MTN already had going; discounted bundles to watch StarTimes Uganda Premier League games off the StarTimesON App via their *165*81# prompt.

The launch was concluded by an exhibition game between Sanyuka TV and MTN, a game that saw Next Media Services CEO, Kin Kariisa, and MTN Chief Marketing Officer, Somdev Sen, captained their respective sides to a 0-0 draw.

Saturday night at Club Tavern was a refreshing dose of fun, excitement and energy for Masaka’s party animals as the Johnnie Walker Highball Tour came to their town.

The party started with Selector Jay alongside Miss Deedan on stage, setting the tone for the evening with an energetic display as they hyped up the crowd.

Not long after, the star of the night, Jose Chameleone took to the stage sending the crowd wild with excitement. He brought the house down with songs like “Mateka”, “Mama Mia,” “Hana” before winding down his enthralling performance with his hit song “Wale Wale” that had revelers up on their feet wishing the night would not end.

There was also a performance from Chosen Becky who entertained the crowd with her songs like “Byabangi”, “Kyosaba,” “Bankuza”—a particular favourite with the crowd.

The night was capped with Masaka’s very own Basakala Boys who had the crowds going wild with laughter at their comical acts not forgetting DJ Batta, DJ Katts and MC Might Dragon who took it a notch higher with music mixing that kept the revellers dancing until the wee hours of Sunday morning.

Here are some photos from the event.

People of Fury and Wilder, you will excuse me but I have a very important question.

Who are the sexiest Ugandan celebrities today?
Why on Earth don’t I have a single celebrity I am crushing on? Doesn’t that speak to the death of this industry?

Imagine in those days the things Barbara Yata did to me. Just her name alone would cause you to start dreaming about the endless possibilities of life.

Then we had Karitas. Oba who uses to give these people names? There was a full thought process that went into these days, forget these things of Zahara Toto.

Now I hear even Lilian Barenzi abandoned us and opted for the US Navy.

Those days just hearing the name Seanice Kacungira would get you singing; “Tweyagale.” How do we explain to the next generation that Full Figure was on the top list?

What did we do as an industry?

Whatever it’s faults, WBS TV is the best thing that ever happened to this industry. It built it from scratch….

Someone bring back the good old days where Omwana would ask for meleva, you give her milk nabuuka…
