Bulawayo hip hop just heard footsteps, and they sound like The MOB. Leroy Ngulube, 24, plans fresh releases in 2026, sitting on a stash of polished unreleased tracks. Raised in New Lobengula, he has worked since 2020 with crew GDC, staying outside mainstream stages. More than ten singles already exist, and the next wave aims to push past underground chatter.
His writing leans into love, money, loyalty, and daily struggle, aiming for healing and motivation. He says the music mirrors youth realities, and the goal targets comfort for people climbing through heartbreak or chasing rent and dreams.
Taste grew under names like Drake and J. Cole, while ASAPH Afrika ranks as the favorite local touchstone from Bulawayo. Plans center on a first...
Highlanders spark a rules fight before the season even starts. The club advertised an annual general meeting for January 25 at the Highlanders Clubhouse, with the notice landing on January 11, which gave members under two weeks. Members argue that Article 16 demands thirty days for any other business submissions, a window that cannot fit this schedule.
A legal expert noted that the charter fixes the AGM on the last Sunday of January, yet still requires submissions a month ahead, which implies a December notice. The expert warned that the setup leaves no formal path for agenda items, inviting disputes and legal pushback.
Members also questioned who issued the announcement. The amended document gives that job to the chief executive...
Air Zimbabwe chases a fleet glow up, and the math gets loud. The carrier targets six jets over three years for US$775.5 million, the centerpiece of a five-year turnaround across domestic, regional, and long-haul service. Support comes from the Mutapa Investment Fund and the national Treasury, with modern fuel-efficient types set to replace aging Boeing 737s and 767s to curb maintenance drag.
Phase one assigns two planes priced at US$49 million each to internal routes, lifting frequencies, and shoring up the domestic network. Phase two adds two regional jets at US$101 million each to claw back share on contested corridors. The final piece brings two widebody long-haulers costing US$225 million each for direct links to key global cities...
Youth group flips the switch for a school, and it actually matters. Buganda Yiyo Buganda Yange sent electrical installation materials to Pookino Nursery School in Kamugombwa, Buddu County, aiming for working lights, safer rooms, and a better learning vibe. The handover went to Third Deputy Pookino, Dick Muwanga, who manages schools across the county.
Head of Buddu County, Pookino Jude Muleke, applauded the effort, then pushed for grit. He warned that ditching projects once quick cash fails to appear wastes momentum, and he said real community progress needs patience, steady planning, and income streams that last.
Muleke urged young people to show up for elections, make informed choices, and back leaders ready to tackle youth problems...
Phase one wraps, supporters say Emyooga fattened wallets and built real businesses. Uganda’s financial inclusion drive ended its first leg with reported gains in wealth creation, job growth, and value addition across regions, while officials teased Phase Two shaping up on the horizon.
The Microfinance Support Centre hosted a wrap-up where Emyooga SACCO reps from multiple regions showed projects and outcomes.
Beneficiaries said access to cheaper credit improved cash flow, lifted household earnings, and helped small and medium businesses scale.
Arinaitwe Ritah, a team lead among participants, argued the program moved past lending, steering enterprises into formal operations.
She noted that many groups raised capital, then registered...
Party loyalists ditch flags, hype an independent in Bukomansimbi South. Members from NUP and NRM peeled off from their parliamentary picks in Uganda, throwing weight behind Hassan Mukiibi Sserunjoji, while saying their presidential choices stay put, and the switch cranked tensions across the constituency.
NUP activists, with alleged district spokesperson Sipresio Kafeero out front, dumped incumbent Geoffrey Kayemba Ssolo after saying community needs had gone unanswered since his election. They rallied behind Sserunjoji during a campaign stop at Butanga Village, Kyankoole Parish, in Butenga Sub-county.
NRM defectors, with Kibinge Sub-county chair Sowed Sserwadda steering, peeled off from flagbearer Bashir Ssemakula. They pitched...
Security talk ramped up as Bukomansimbi tried to calm election jitters. At a meeting in the village of Budda, Kibinge Sub-county, liaison officer William Lubega told local leaders, security teams, and residents that deployments had been strengthened across the district to protect voters, candidates, and election staff before, during, and after the 2026 polls.
He flagged reports of people warning neighbors against taking part, calling that illegal and a violation of constitutional rights. He said anyone pushing threats would face the law.
He asked residents to stay calm, stay alert, and work with security units. He pushed reporting of sketchy behavior, violence, or voter scare tactics inside communities.
Local leaders welcomed the...
Politics met church-basement energy as a first lady pushed votes hard. Janet Kataaha Museveni, serving as First Lady and Education and Sports minister, urged women across the Busoga sub-region to rally behind the NRM and back President Museveni during the upcoming general elections, pitching the message as protection for family futures.
The appeal reached the crowd through Dr. Specioza Wandira Kazibwe, an ex-vice president and senior presidential health adviser, who said the NRM track record centers on women-focused programs. She framed the party as a steady bet for women’s growth and asked the group to stick with it.
The gathering happened in Luuka District, where women linked to an initiative led by Dorothy Kisaka, an ex-KCCA...
Kampala Sundays officially belong to alumni bros pretending they still possess athletic skills. The SMACK League takes over the IUEA Sports Ground in Kansanga for bi-weekly gatherings fueled heavily via Guinness sponsorship. While traditional groups like the Mwiri League dominated for years, the International School Alumni squad recently crashed the scene.
These events operate less like sports tournaments and more like massive networking hubs. Different cohorts spanning forty years mingle regularly instead of waiting for stiff annual reunions. Attendees swap business cards and pitch startups while ostensibly watching football matches that nobody actually cares about.
Organizers turn matchdays into full-blown festivals running late...
