I found people dancing to it last night, at a small pub in Zzana, screaming ‘Tuva Masaka’. That was fast!
The launch will be in Lweera. Someone contact Ssuuna Ben/ Mbaziira to do for us a Kinyanyanyanya version. Video coming soon, with all the lights and Masaka life.
So a woman is supposed to seek for permission from her man before she goes out .. if the man says no you stay in the house ..! Ehhh 🤔🤔🤔

1954.
Mugaba Palace, Kamukuzi Hill.
The newly completed seat of the Ankole kingdom rose against the sky.
Omugabe Charles Godfrey Gasyonga II stood at its grand entrance, his wife Omwigarire Lady Costance Mary beside him.
Their infant children were gathered close.
The palace was not just a building; it was a declaration.
The Family at Mugaba: Ankole's Royal Portrait - 1954
The palace had been the vision of his father, Omugabe Kahaya II, but it was under Gasyonga that it was completed and officially opened.
Its architecture blended the traditional with the colonial, a kingdom adapting to changing times while fiercely guarding its identity.
From its high vantage point, one could see the sprawling lands of Ankole, where the past and the future intermingled.
The Omugabe, standing proudly before the grand façade, understood the weight of his rolez not just as a ruler, but as a guardian of his family's heritage.
The halls of Mugaba had witnessed generations of Bahinda rulers, and now his own children would grow within its storied walls.
His wife, Costance Mary, was a picture of grace and quiet regality.
She wore e'myenda, the traditional Ankole female dress, with a shuuka elegantly covering her hair.
Their children, innocent and full of promise, were the heirs to a legacy that stretched back centuries.
In their small hands lay the future of Ankole, a future that the Omugabe was determined to protect.
The palace grounds, once filled with the footsteps of warriors and advisors, now echoed with the laughter of his young ones.
It was a reminder that beyond the affairs of state, the core of his reign was the continuity of his bloodline and the stability of his home.
As the colonial era brought political shifts across Uganda, Mugaba Palace remained a stronghold of tradition.
The Omugabe had the difficult task of balancing diplomacy with the British while ensuring his family's place in Ankole's future.
He welcomed foreign dignitaries into his halls, yet behind closed doors, his primary concerns were for his people and his kin.
His children would inherit not just a title, but a duty, to preserve Ankole's spirit in an era of rapid transformation.
His wife understood this well, playing her role in shaping the young minds that would one day carry the weight of the crown.
As the evening sun bathed the palace in golden light, the Omugabe, dapper in a striped blazer and pinstripe trousers, turned to his family, a rare smile breaking his otherwise stately demeanor.
Here, in the heart of Mugaba, away from politics and power struggles, he was simply a father, a husband, a man committed to the future of his lineage.
In that moment, beneath the towering columns of his forefathers' vision, history and love intertwined.
What does it mean when a king, at the opening of his palace, pauses not for the dignitaries but for his family, a wife in traditional dress, children too young to understand the weight of their name, and in that pause, the kingdom itself seems to hold its breath?
The photograph from 1954 captures the Omugabe not as a monarch performing power, but as a father anchoring a dynasty.
The palace still stands.
The children in that portrait grew up carrying the memory of that afternoon into a Uganda their parents could not yet imagine.

@AKasingye@TororoCement And now this is the Physics (kg) which can be seen by means of a scale. How about the Chemistry (composition that requires laboratory tests and studies). Are we not using flour and some kind of dust???
Now this man has always been making videos notifying the public that the sack of cement on market right now nolonger hit 50kg as written on the pack. When he was arrested he asked the Security to weigh it and it came out as 41kg, UNBS mwemudakko.
