Earlier today, I addressed the nation at @UgandaMediaCent on the ongoing evacuation of Ugandan nationals from South Africa.

Please find the full press statement below:

His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda, has directed that arrangements be made for the evacuation of Ugandan nationals from
South Africa following the escalating anti-migrant violence and xenophobic protests by vigilante groups over the past few months.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working in close coordination with the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Works and Transport, the Uganda High Commission in South Africa, and the leadership of the Ugandan community in South Africa, is finalizing an evacuation plan that is expected to commence in the next few days.

Currently, 746 (seven hundred and forty-six) Ugandans have voluntarily registered and sought assistance for evacuation due to security and safety concerns, and more are expected to register.

Additionally, many Ugandans have already left South Africa on their own following the 30 June 2026 deadline reportedly issued by the vigilante groups. It should be noted that the governments of some African countries have also evacuated their nationals from South Africa under the current circumstances.

The evacuation plan entails the registration of affected Ugandans across the various provinces, their transfer to safe assembly centres, the issuance of emergency travel documents where necessary, and coordination with relevant immigration authorities to facilitate their departure from South Africa.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Works and Transport, arrangements are being made for Uganda Airlines to provide special charter flights for the evacuation exercise. These flights will be funded by the Government of Uganda.

In the meantime, the Government of Uganda continues to engage the Government of the Republic of South Africa on this matter to ensure
the security and safety of Ugandan nationals still residing there.

On a sad note, the Government regrets to report that one Ugandan lost his life following an attack in KwaZulu-Natal Province. We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family. Preparations are underway to repatriate the body to Uganda.

@mkainerugaba reply under .Do you ever believe that We Ugandans can chase you away from this country if we decide? Do you believe it can happen or not ?

Your Excellency @KagutaMuseveni, with humility and respect, I beg you to temper justice with mercy. Hon. @AnitahAmong is a mother, a mobilizer, and a servant with a family and your supporters who depend on her too. When correcting a mother, please don’t destroy her completely

Major General Henry Matsiko, the Chief Political Commissar of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and Member of Parliament representing the UPDF, delivered a powerful ideological lecture to students of Kings College Budo this morning.

His address blended history, philosophy, patriotism, and a strong call for personal responsibility.
