A group of men met at a small prayer house in Kayunga almost ten years back. They came asking for magic help after killing someone important. They wanted spells to hide what they did. One killer named Daniel later told police about this visit. The witch doctor backed up his story. Both said the men asked to make the murder case disappear through local magic.
The men shot Joan Kagezi dead on March 30, 2015. She worked as a top lawyer for Uganda and handled big cases against bad people. The killers found her when she stopped her truck to buy fruit. Her children sat inside the car, watching as men on bikes rode up and fired guns at their mother. The shooters raced away fast after she fell dead on the street.
Police searched for years...
Train rides between Kampala and Mukono stopped yesterday. Uganda Railways Corporation shut down all trips because the track broke near Namanve. Nobody can ride these trains from April 6 to April 14, 2025. The company said it cared about keeping people safe above everything else. Workers rushed to fix the damaged tracks as fast as they could.
The railway wants trains running again by April 14. They feel sorry about the trouble this causes everyone who uses these trains each day. Many people count on these trains to reach work or school without sitting in traffic jams. The railway offers cheap rides compared to buses or motorcycles on clogged roads. Trains also help people avoid the awful traffic on the Kampala-Jinja Highway during busy...
Uganda just scored a big win from Europe as trade fights heat up around the world. The European Union told Uganda it could sell its goods to Europe without paying any taxes. Jan Sadek, who speaks for Europe in Uganda, said any Ugandan stuff except weapons can enter Europe tax-free. He did say that farmers must keep food clean and safe for people to eat.
Europe plans to give Uganda about 32 billion Ugandan shillings to help farmers grow better fruits and veggies. This money will teach them how to meet Europe's tough food safety rules. When farms follow these rules, they can sell more crops to people across Europe. This happens right when America starts charging higher prices on things coming into their country.
The United States began...
Someone shot and killed a top army leader in Somalia last Saturday. Colonel Nur Farey died when a person dressed as a soldier fired at him during his talk with troops. This happened near Afgoye town in the Lower Shabelle area. The killer walked right up to Farey before shooting him. Officials started looking into whether the shooter belonged to the terror group called al-Shabaab.
Farey ran the 14th Brigade, a military unit fighting to take back land from terrorists. His team tried to free Awdhegle town from al-Shabaab control. The government named his brigade after a terrible bombing that hurt or killed 1000 people back in 2017. That attack happened at the K-5 street corner in Mogadishu city on October 14. The blast stands as the worst...
I want to talk about what it costs when you buy or sell land and buildings. We need to look at three different cases. First, property with title deeds, which happens most often. Second, buying shares in a company that already holds property rights. Third, property held through something called cession—that means no title deed exists yet. Let me explain each one clearly and simply.
When you buy a titled property, you pay the seller whatever price you both agree on. Make sure you know if that price includes all taxes and charges beforehand. You might pay an agreement fee to the lawyer who writes up your contract. Either the buyer or seller can pay this fee, depending on what you decide together. Your contract might come from a lawyer or...
Buying houses comes with taxes like stamp duty. This tax kicks in when you register new land or buildings under your name. The law calls this stamp duty, and Zimbabwe follows rules from two main laws when figuring out how much you pay. Buyers always cover stamp duty costs, never sellers. The price depends on what your house costs - more expensive places face higher tax rates. Many first-time buyers wonder exactly who pays this tax and how much they should budget for it.
The person who buys property must pay all stamp duties. Officials charge this tax based on what your property costs right when you buy it. They look at either the fair market value or the actual price you paid, whichever makes more sense. The tax office counts from the...
Zimbabwe just changed how people pay for paperwork at the land office. They switched from charging in Zimbabwe Dollars to US Dollars. This makes everything much easier for everyone. You can still pay with Zimbabwe money if you want to. They will just check the daily exchange rate and tell you how much local money equals the dollar amount. The government made this change because their local money kept losing value way too fast.
The land office needs dollars for most of its bills anyway. It buys computer programs and equipment with foreign money. When it charges in local money, it has to keep changing its prices as the money loses value. Nobody likes that system. It wastes time and confuses people. The new dollar prices stay the same...
You can change your FL Studio 12 songs to 432 Hz with just a few easy steps. First, open your project and find the Master Channel in your mixer. It's usually the first channel you'll see. Look for the Pitch knob at the top of this channel strip. Turn it down by -0.32 semitones. This simple change brings your entire project from the standard 440 Hz tuning down to 432 Hz.
For separate instruments, you might want to adjust each one by itself. When working with synths, simply open the plugin and search for any pitch or tuning options inside. Adjust these settings down by -0.32 semitones, just like you did with the master pitch. Sample tuning works differently - you'll need to load your sample in the Channel Rack, click on that sample...
The Zanu PF Women's League in Manicaland picked Dorothy Mabika as their new leader yesterday. She stepped into the job after Happiness Nyakuedzwa lost her position last year. The group met in Mutare, where Kerenia Uta Chimuso ran the voting process. Everyone stayed calm during the election meeting. Mabika brings plenty of experience since she once served as the deputy chair for Zanu PF across the whole province.
Mabika felt surprised but thankful when the women chose her. She wants all women from Manicaland to come together to make Zanu PF stronger. Her main goals focus on helping women make money through local projects. She believes that when women earn more cash, their families become happier. The new leader plans to connect women...
