You can see why Budonians, Gayaza girls, and other such avoid elective politics.
Politics requires a certain degree of personality disorder, psychopathy, or mental illness.
You must have an empty, restless soul and lack any sense of shame, awkwardness, or introspection.
It is an honour to receive the Diamond Jubilee Medal from H.E. @KagutaMuseveni the President of Uganda.
I dedicate this to my mother, may she rest in peace, who believed in education as a pathway to opportunity.
I must also express gratitude towards my workmates with whom we have struggled for a decade to keep the promise alive, and to serve Uganda’s oil and gas sector, advancing EACOP, securing key agreements, and supporting the journey to First Oil. 🇺🇬
I feel like I should note, I had a great flight with @UG_Airlines yesterday from Johannesburg to Entebbe. Flight on time, really good food, great service and allow professional. Considering we are quick to tweet when things go bad, might as well do when things go great. #UGFirst
A MUST READ
SOUTH AFRICAN VISAS / TRADE
Thank you guys for sharing my post yesterday, it went to the highest office in South Africa. Got many phone calls!
MODJADJI MAHLANGU returned last evening from South Africa and went to office at 3am today morning to start working on peoples applications.
MODJADJI MAHLANGU last issued a visa on 25th of March 2026 yet Ugandan apply for visas daily. Paying for accommodations, tickets and visa fees that is never refunded.
SHE HAD LOCKED PEOPLES PASSPORTS IN HER OFFICE.
That money is earned by South African businesses hence their economy becomes bigger. The visa money is what keeps these foreign embassies operating here if you don’t know.
BUT THATS NOT A LASTING SOLUTION.
South Africa has more than 78 businesses in Uganda taking away about 1bn dollars annually from our already struggling economy.
The last I read Uganda only earned about usd 48m( DO YOU GUYS GET THE COMMON SENSE?) from South Africa. We earn less than 5% of what they earn from us.
HOW?
Their business people wake up in the morning and decide they are heading to Uganda for business and get a visa from the airport on arrival.
They on the other hand block Ugandan business people from accessing opportunities in South Africa, claiming Ugandan won’t leave their country.
The amount of money earned by the few Ugandans in South Africa can’t be compared to the amount of money South Africa earns from Uganda.
If the one billion dollars taken out of our economy annually stayed in Uganda, those few Ugandans there would have opportunities here.
The alternative is make it easy for our business people to access opportunities in South Africa so we also earn there and bring opportunities back to Uganda.
The 1bn dollars taken or earned here by South Africans strengthens their job market, cripples our job market as Uganda reason a small number want to remain in South Africa.
They simply following the opportunities that have left Uganda for South Africa through the 1bn dollars annually? Are we together?
The internal challenge for common citizens like me and you reading is that ‘ our leaders have green and red passports’ they care less and don’t know the above economics( both opposition and government leaders have those passports).
This week or this month, Uganda borrowed usd 450m from world bank and that will be earned by South African countries and Ugandans will be paying the loans.
The South African owned banks here will keep the money, they telcos will earn bit of it, insurance will also want, South African contractors etc.
Business interests for countries and individuals are fought for, you don’t sit back and think the world wishes you well, you will be silly to think so.
The above thought should apply to all other embassies!
Enough said!

The Court of Appeal has held that once a title has been found to have been obtained fraudulently, such a title becomes void with the consequence that it must be cancelled.

UNOC’s decision to undertake a 2D seismic survey is a milestone in Uganda’s push to confirm new oil resources. It helps determine whether Kasuruban holds commercially viable oil and whether UNOC should move toward development or if the company will burn money without finding oil.
A 2D seismic survey works by sending sound waves into the ground to map subsurface geology. The returning signals are interpreted to build a clearer picture of rock layers and potential oil traps. Without this data, drilling is largely guesswork and costly.
