Uganda wakes up late to the news of ex minister Bitamazire's death

A massive internet blackout forced the nation to mourn its loss on a delay. Namirembe Bitamazire died recently, yet the public remained unaware because connectivity issues blocked the update. This silence hurt her family and online communities, who only realized the education veteran was gone much later. Tributes began flooding timelines once the network allowed it.

Specifics regarding the funeral are nonexistent. Sources mention that information on the ceremony is scarce, though updates are expected eventually. The country waits to hear how it will honor the long-serving politician.
