The second edition of The Koroga Festival took Kampala food lovers on a mouth-watering ride as “foodies” gathered together on Saturday for an exciting afternoon cookout at The Gardens in Najjeera.

The food festival attracted a large crowd of soul food enthusiasts who were gearing to show off their cooking skills as early as midday, with “food gangs” divided into groups of 10 with a mission to cook a satisfying meal.

Each party was given six kilos of goat and chicken, cooking ingredients and a crate of Tusker Lite for the day’s cookout adventure, and they soon got completely absorbed into preparing a scrumptious meal which later turned out to be a delightful afternoon of munching on tasty ‘meaty delicacies.’

“This second edition has been more interesting than the last. We witnessed the different tasty meals from the many teams that cooked and I must say, it has been a delicious experience. We are looking forward to doing this again come December,” said My Food Network’s Mark Kaheru, the organisers of the festival.

Revelers were later treated to a silent disco evening with the Almost Famous DJs on the decks.

The Koroga Festival is a popular annual event that has its roots in Kenya. Its name is derived from the Swahili word “koroga” which means “to mix” or “to stir”, and is an apt representation of all that happened on a day centered around food and drink.

Uprising female singer Viola Nakitende has vowed to remain dedicated to her chosen career, music. The singer managed by reknown producer Baur has released her latest song “Ndi Wuwo” and believes strongly this will do well, we her fans cannot doubt that.

Viola Nakitende is with no contradiction a talent worth watching put for this years considering her previous projects Tosimula, Toyuuga, Wankuza and Omu Bwati have done far beyond imagination for a new artiste.

Nakitende in Ndi Wuwo commits to a lover as much as she commits to her music. Viola’s voice and pitch as usual bring her music closer to the heart and its not exception in this new one.

Aftet her latest release, her management has spoken to the website and they confirm “There will be no turn back, we have started something very serious. Viola will be the next star”

Joseph Mayanja aka Jose Chameleone today attended new Masaka Bishop Severus Jjumba’s ordination in Masaka. The ceremony that was attended by politicians, the Katikkiro of Buganda among other dignitaries saw new politician and now Kampala Mayor hopeful Joseph Mayanja also on the high table.

While at the event, Chameleone once again took the chance to preach his gospel of “New” politics to the masses. He most importantly expressed his desire to contest for mayoral seat. Here is his speech:

“It was such a jovial day in Masaka today as I together with Democratic Party President general Nobert Mao, Dr. Abed Bwanika, Hon.Michael Mabike, Hon. Lubega Mukaku, John Mary Ssebuufu, Derrick Mutema, Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, Hon. Florence Namayanja my new DP family attended the blessed episcopal ordination of the new Bishop of Masaka Diocese – Msgr Severus Jjumba.

Im very optimistic that the people of Masaka have got a Joshua to lead them into the promised land.

As St Paul said, there is no other source of salvation but the Cross. Lets not look for the Gospel of prosperity but focus on the cross which will lead us to the crown.

May the same cross help us from the selfishness exhibited by some of our political actors but rather pave way for the newfangled political leaders like us.

Dr. Paul Kawanga Ssemwogerere I heed the advise

Thank you Buganda Katikkiro Owek. Peter Charles Mayega for the inspirational speech.”
