Katesh Strikes Again! Uganda’s Meaty Ways…
In marketing, genius lies in the unexpected. And in Uganda’s political jungle, where every hopeful is screaming in yellow, red, blue, or camouflage - how do you cut through the din? Enter Hon. @Kateshd, better known as Katesh, who had one word on his campaign mood board: MEAT.
Yes, meat. Not roads, not UPE, not parish development models. Just - meat. Chunks. Juicy. Boiled. Bone-in. Served fresh to a cheering battalion of women supporters in #KizibaWard Sheema who, in between ferocious bites, paused only to exclaim with Pavlovian loyalty: “Thank you Katesh!”
Now, if you know anything about Uganda, you know meat isn’t just protein - it’s power. In the villages, meat is a prize, a signal of status, a symbol of gratitude, and sometimes, romance. In Alur custom, elders sent young men on courtship missions with strict instructions: bring back meat. No meat, no bride. In Kampala hangovers, UTL boys once sought salvation in early morning muchomo at Lufula. Even in dowries, meat is non-negotiable. That 'ka-thigh' of a cow! Beans are for the broke. Meat is for the chosen. Afrigo said it best "Omusango gwe nyama!"
So Katesh, with the calculation of a seasoned brand manager and the hunger radar of a butcher’s apprentice, served up a plate of influence with a side of virality. He didn’t just feed bellies - he fed the algorithm.
Critics may scoff at the shaky video, the lighting, the sound. But they miss the point. This wasn’t about cinematography. It was about symbolism. And survival.
In a land where the ballot is often bought with soap, salt, and slogans, Katesh has served up a new gospel - one where enyama is the manifesto. And while others hold rallies, he hosts roasts.
Some will laugh. Others will sneer. But in the end, we’re all talking about him. And in the savage jungle of Ugandan politics, that’s how you win.
So yes - let them eat meat. Because Katesh didn’t just feed voters. He fed the narrative. And now, probably the whole country is chewing on it. And #Terera !

🤍👋🏻 Luka Modrić’s letter to Real Madrid fans.
“Dear Madrid fans,
Time has come. The moment I never wanted to come, but that's football, and in life everything has a beginning and an end... On Saturday I will play my last match at the Santiago Bernabéu.
I arrived in 2012 with the desire to wear the shirt of the best team in the world and with the ambition to do big things, but I couldn't imagine what came next.
Playing at Real Madrid changed my life as a soccer player and as a person.
I feel proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras of the best club in history.
I want to thank the club from the bottom of my heart, especially the president Florentino Perez, my teammates, coaches and all the people who have helped me during all this time.
Throughout these years I've experienced incredible moments, comebacks that seemed impossible, finals, celebrations and magical nights at the Bernabéu... We won everything and I was very happy. Very very happy.
But beyond the titles and victories, I carry in my heart the affection of all Madrid fans. I really don't know how to explain the special connection I have with you and how supported, respected and loved I have felt and feel. I will never forget each ovation and all the gestures of affection you have shown me.
Leaving with a full heart. Filled with pride, gratitude and unforgettable memories. And even though, after the Club World Cup, I'm no longer going to wear this shirt on the field, I'll always be a Madrid fan.
Hala Madrid y nada más!”.
🗞️ | Lewis Hamilton has shared to his Instagram Story a post that calls for the accountability of English Media and in support of Bukayo Saka.
“We need to hold the English media accountable for systemically vilifying Black players. The constant scapegoating of Black players needs to stop. This endemic racial discrimination has no place in football, yet countless news outlets suggest otherwise.”
