Long before the world knew the names Michael, Janet, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy and Rebbie Jackson, there were Joe and Katherine Jackson building a family together.
Joe and Katherine married on November 5, 1949, and remained together for nearly seven decades until Joe’s death in 2018.

R&B legend Freddie Jackson -- the powerhouse voice behind "You Are My Lady" and "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" -- is dead.
He was best known for hits like ‘You Are My Lady,' ‘Love Me Down,' ‘Have You Ever Loved Somebody,' and 'I Don't Want to Lose Your Love.' The
@kirya_ug Hon. Mulyanyama is one of my best MPs in the 12th Parliament. The man confidently makes his point in a precise and concise way.
Mulyanyama asinga bangi abatayaaya.
So, Jeffrey Archer and Freddie Jackson leave this world on the same day. Cruel hand of fate. They were worlds apart on the face of it, but not for many of us who grew up hanging onto every line from these gifted wordsmiths. Poetry can be cast upon you as much in the hubbub of a discotheque as in the quiet of a library. The two fulfilled my teenage days in ways I can't quite describe, but many of you can no doubt relate. Decades later, they are still with me, admittedly Freddie more than Jeffrey these days. Rest well, legends. @kasujja @SMACKOBA_Official @munlex50
The Ugandan Activist Charged over a SIM Card, and for Calling a General a Cabbage
On September 26, 2026, plainclothes security operatives abruptly seized 27-year-old human rights activist and law student Praise Aloikin Opoloje from Namungoona Police Station on the outskirts of the capital Kampala.
Her sudden transfer into covert custody immediately sparked accusations of a state-led abduction, drawing fierce outcry from civil rights organisations until police confirmed she was in legal custody. Two days later, Opoloje was formally arraigned before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate's Court.
Despite the intense scrutiny surrounding her detention, the official charge against her was remarkably administrative: the unlawful use of another person's SIM card to commit illegal activity. Opoloje pleaded not guilty and was remanded to Luzira Women's Prison, where she remains held as investigations proceed.
The actual trigger for her arrest was not a bureaucratic registration fault, but direct political commentary. Defence Intelligence and Security operatives flagged Opoloje after she posted a viral TikTok video aimed at General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defence Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni. In the recording, she disparaged the army chief, calling him a "fearful brat" who depends on others to think for him and mockingly claiming he had a "cabbage in his head."
Investigators traced the social media activity to an MTN SIM card registered in her mother's name, treating her online criticism as the underlying offence.
Her case highlights the delicate position of youthful activism in Uganda. While her methods are sometimes seen as extreme and provocative; she previously gained national attention for radical anti-corruption tactics, including leading a nude protest outside Parliament, her work is equally rooted in formal civil rights.
A runner-up for the Martin Ennals Award and winner of the 2025 EU Human Rights Defenders' Award, Opoloje regularly uses her legal training at Makerere University to teach citizens their constitutional rights. Her imprisonment reflects a growing rift: for supporters, she is a courageous reformer facing selective state prosecution; for critics and authorities, her confrontational style tests the bounds of lawful political opposition.
Still, some note a detail in the actions against her that might signal an important shift. Many who previously crossed Muhoozi were taken to the “basement” and tortured, some for perceived aggravations lesser than Opoloje’s. It will be interesting to see if her case turns out to be the unlikely first light of dawn following a long period of darkness.
In this stirring video, a mother asks how a regime that brutalised her during the January 2026 elections for simply holding the Ugandan flag can now claim the moral authority to forcefully send her S6-leaver child to Kyankwanzi for “patriotism” training!
Having come to the realization that citizens are now politically awake, the Museveni dictatorship is now trying to indoctrinate our unsuspecting children. WE MUST NOT ALLOW IT!
@SimonKaggwaNjal In some cases, District Returning Officers were demanding for large sums of cash to declare candidates who had already won at polling stations.
Until EC officials and Security chiefs who presided over sham elections and fraudulently declared winners are bundled up and thrown into prison, we’ll never get out of this cycle. You listen to evidence in court and shudder. People preside over fraud with reckless abandon.
