“Those Kenyans called their friend here in Uganda, they gave him transport to go there and the good chance was also a munyankore tribe. When he found that she was mad, they put her in a certain church to pray for her up to when she regained her normal senses and asked them to bring her back to Uganda.
They drove her from Kenya with the help of their friend up to here and she is now normal. ” Mzee Karyahore added.

NIGERIAN SINGER TIWA SAVAGE SET FOR KAMPALA TOUR IN DECEMBER

Many Ugandans thought that Jamaican star, Tarrus Riley would close Ugandan’s entertainment calendar 2018, but we have been informed that music lovers will be blessed with more international acts.

Tiwa Savage from Nigeria and Jamaica’s rising star Kranium will be in Kampala in December.

The date and venue is still under wraps but Uganda’s leading telecom company, MTN Uganda is behind this concert for another episode of their popular Pulse campaign.

Kemar Donaldson popularly known as Kranium, is a Jamaican reggae and dancehall singer known for his 2013 hit single “Nobody Has To Know” which gave him an international recognition and led him to signing to Atlantic Records record label.

Tiwa Savage the new queen of Africa music needs no introduction.

This will be her second time visiting Kampala. The 38 years old sang hits like “Keys to the city”,”If I start to talk ft Dr SID,Girlie O ft Patoranking, among many others.

ALL ARTISTES ARE FOOLS EXCEPT BOBI WINE—APASS

Ugandan Dancehall singer Apass alias Alexander Bagonza has come out to accuse artistes of not using their power and influence to be the voice of the voiceless.

Singer Apass is well known for attacking fellow musicians. He has attacked and insulted almost every musician.

While appearing on a local TV station for an interview, Apass accused fellow artistes for being hypocrites before labelling them fools for allegedly giving the recently introduced OTT tax a deaf ear.

Its remembered that Apass and Bobi Wine plus other media personalities actively took part in OTT tax demostration in the city centre a few weeks ago.

APASS

“We have the power and the voice to stop this exploitation by the government but most artistes pretend like everything is ok. It is only I and Bobiwine, who took an initiative to strongly oppose and talk for the oppressed common person. Actually, all  artistes except Bobi wine are fools because they are useless to the common person. In our WhatsApp forum as entertainers, we planned a demostration against this OTT tax but I was suprised that I was talking to only Bobi Wine in a group of more than 150 people. These guys did not appear anywhere on the day of demonstration. They have never shared anything against OTT tax on their social media platforms,” the “Dididada” hit maker lamented.

However, some of the entertainers that were attacked by Apass have labelled him a joke and noise maker.

In Sheema

Residents of Sheema district especially animal keepers have expressed fear due to the outbreak of deadly Rift Valley Fever that attacks both animals and human beings and so far one person has been reported dead. The deceased is a resident of Kagorogoro cell, Kashozi Division Sheema Municipality.

According to Mr Richard the veterinary officer Sheema municipality, this fever kills both people and animals within six days. He added that over 45 cows have already died.

Richard said that if this fever attacks a pregnant animal or woman it leads to giving birth of immature baby or death of a baby in womb.

So far no medicine for the disease has been discovered but the victims can be given only first aid.

Benson Akankwatsa, the Health Inspector Sheema District said that Rift valley fever is spread by mosquitoes noting that even bats and bush rabbits can also spread it. He added that it is transmitted through blood and through eating meat of the infected animal.

The signs and symptoms of the fever in animals are loss of appetite, weakness, decrease in milk production, nosal discharge, diarrhea plus bleeding however in human beings symptoms come at last and that it takes few days for that person to die.
Infected person may vomit blood, bleeding, headache, coma or seizures and reddening of eyes.

People were thus asked to desist from eating dead animals, meat which isn’t tested by authorised doctors and all butchers were instructed not to slaughter any animal before the doctor tests it. The public was also urged to prevent themselves from mosquitoes.

This disease isn’t only affecting Sheema district but also Isingiro, mbarara in Kashaka and kashaari where more than 30 people have died in those three districts.

Chelsea v Manchester City preview: Maurizio Sarri makes competitive bow in Community Shield

Maurizio Sarri will make his competitive bow as Chelsea head coach when the Blues take on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.

The Italian took over from compatriot Antonio Conte last month after nearly wrestling the Serie A title from Juventus with old club Napoli last season.

He could become the first Premier League manager since David Moyes in 2013 – in the same competition – to win a trophy in his first game.

Sarri said: “First of all I’m looking forward to playing at Wembley, because it’s my first time. The match will be very difficult for us.

“I want to win, because it’s very important to have immediately a trophy.”

City manager Pep Guardiola is looking forward to starting a new rivalry with Sarri, and says his style will adapt quickly to the Premier League – having himself struggled with implementing his own style of play before City cruised to the title last season.

Team news

Manchester City summer signing Riyad Mahrez is available after overcoming the ankle injury he sustained last weekend.

Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling are the only players not to return to the group after the World Cup, with Guardiola planning to go on condition over quality.

England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek returned to full Chelsea training this week and could feature, while Willian has now returned from his extended break.

Chelsea are looking to win the Community Shield for the first time since 2009, when they beat Manchester United 4-1 on penalties. They’ve failed to win any of their last four appearances in the Community Shield.

Manchester City last lifted the Community Shield in 2012, defeating this year’s opponents Chelsea 3-2 in a fixture that was played at Villa Park.

This will be the third meeting between Chelsea and Manchester City at Wembley, with City winning the most recent one in April 2013 (2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final).

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has previously managed on four occasions at Wembley (W3 D1), with all four games coming in a different competition (Champions League in 2011, FA Cup in 2017, League Cup and Premier League in 2018).

Manchester City have won their last two matches at Wembley, both in 2017-18 – beating Spurs 3-1 in April and Arsenal 3-0 in the League Cup final in February. They haven’t won three consecutive matches at Wembley since March 1970.

Chelsea have won 20 matches at Wembley Stadium – only Spurs (32), Man Utd (23), Arsenal (21) have won more times.

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has scored five goals in his last five appearances against Chelsea, including a hat-trick in April 2016.

TRANSFER NEWS

Cristiano Ronaldo has sensationally unfollowed Real Madrid on Instagram.

Thibaut Courtois’ agent has urged Chelsea to stop messing about and let the keeper make his dream move to Real Madrid.

Mauricio Pochettino says Spurs are no further forward in their hunt to sign players.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is plotting a £25m move for Croatian defender Domagoj Vida.

Anthony Martial could be staying at Manchester United this season after all.

Alvaro Morata has heaped praise on Chelsea rising star Callum Hudson-Odoi and summer signing Jorginho.
