“Let us save the next generation, otherwise we have a problem as a society.” Kenya's deputy president Rigathi Gachagua wants the country's central region to be placed under a one-pub-per-town rule, in an effort to deal with alcoholism. More here:

Hilary Ngaakudzwe Chipunza, better known as Hillzy, is an R&B and hip hop artist from Zimbabwe with a silky smooth voice.

He puts this down to his musical influences which include the Grammy-award winning US singer-songwriter Chris Brown, and other Western music. He says social media has been key to building his career. But being in Cape Town, he found it difficult to connect with Zimbabweans initially. "I recently did an Afrobeats song, Chargie, which did very well, and I do see the potential in it, but I just feel like I've already started this R&B and hip hop journey. I would love to collaborate with other artists. I just genuinely think I'd be a better 'feature' than an Afrobeats artist."

Fair enough!

Where would the world be without Uganda

No interest ?

This is great

There we go

Interest should have been calculated 😄

He should have been awarded prorated interest in that 'Investment'.

That's Unfortunate 🙂

unfortunately

Not so fortunate after all!

Very nice, others should learn from dis.

No interest?🙄🙄🙄🙄

Thank you very important

Filth!!

Maybe thats a deterant to 'Gold digging'. She USED the man to get an education. Maybe the loan needs to be paid back.

This is what feminists have been fighting for, gender equality. Well, at least the boychild has been saved on occasion. Kudos to him 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Women?!! 🤔 Ncncnc

Cultural differences, but true ugandan culture well represented..

Equality achieved

Cultural differences, but true ugandan culture well marketed..

😂

All women who eats our transport several times, we're recording, Ugandan courts here we come

Report news that you've fully researched, understood? It's now 1 week since that decision was made but still you report it falsely. Make research please!

Hallelujah... Now this is equality.

We always say that after God, fear women. He was lucky the case went his way

buhle_matsha joyruva Patriarchy is has to be the worst thing that happened to humanity ...

Dont they have work that they will have such ample time to be spying on phones?That's the singular reason every human must be busy and engaged positively. Its gross to spend time thinking how to spy on phones of others...oh well..different strokes

NO

I mind my own business

You have under reported. It's 33,000. 22,000 were goverment workers those whose spouses live and work from different places.

Zambians are divorcing because of the spread of feminism in Africa

😂 instead of people improving their behaviour

Lmao Zambians have nothing better to do with their lives

It's always important to understand the context in which the statement was made

If we live by that then there will be no more divorced in Africa

Debt repayment it receives from its former colony? What about reparations for colonisalism. Where does this feature?

Actually it saves from unnecessary life shocks and dramas. Better to know some truths and where you belong.....

Why should a man/woman cheat, if you are not ready for marriage don't get into it.

Yangu!

A man should and must look into his woman's phone. He has already looked at her private parts then what is private about the phone.

🇬🇭👇

What could be the root cause bwana Minister?

lol cancel the debt colonizer visitportugal

Maybe it's time we do away with national exams?

Cape Verde going green.

Mmmmm..he was a fiance....I guess he was putting money into their future..

But violence and ethnic fighting is destabilizing enough to impact educational performance productivity..What else functions effectively in an environment of chaos and life uncertainty?The reason why the whole world has pushed for peace and stable governance.

A national disgrace. Why should the people of Ethiopia be fighting ethnic wars at this time. We talk of African Unity then that war in Ethiopia. I wish the AU Headquarters is moved from there to somewhere in West Africa, Dakar or Accra.

Like seriously

Iwoyi laaro

Tiktok effect everywhere

He invested in her so he has the right to get back his money, it's not a price tag but life is not easy

Simply means 97% of Ethiopian students are 'fools'. In Kenya, 89% are 'fools'. In S. Africa 80% are 'bright'. What sort of foolishness makes the African education system condemn their kids to ABISS?

Omuzibuwaalu You don’t know how much that money means in our current economy more so from a teacher. Hard earned money, she has to pay, it wasn’t a gift

Ronaldo needs to sort this out

Payment for what ,you exploit a nation through colonisation then demand Payment? Useless Portugal.

Earning money in Uganda is as hard as giving birth if the agreement was made and the other party violated the terms of the agreement then she has to pay back things are not easy here in Uganda

Yes

🤣

Price tag? Everything costs something; it’s a trade off and exchange. Was he her sugar daddy paying for her school? He didn’t get anything out of her for that time?

Don’t outsource self-love and care. She obtained an education from his $. He had a lady friend. Process of marriage incomplete.

Released on time, jst when Arsenal lost Against a Giant. Now they are gonna hear the news in their Arsenal shirts!! What a punishment.

How about return it

He should receive interest at 100% plus monthly maintenance at 10% of her ex's wages as long as she practices her law. This would be fair. The man will suffer eternal trauma.

I'll pay you for not being your slave anymore but get this then you'll extend a helping hand and give me back that same money so that I'll be a better person thanks Portugal

A bit of a joke considering the annual payments are in the $10’s of millions…

Lol

Yet another proof, that African women UN_Women have no right, not even to break up with a fiancé! Someone should write 'The African Woman's Burden' - a sequel to 'The White Man's Burden' - a poem by Rudyard Kipling

'there are sometimes exploitative circumstances whereby a man gives money to a woman on the condition that she will marry him.' Okay...so don't take the money? 😕

She literally scammed her ex

Imagine not winning the league after all this

The way Uganda moves indicates that citizens have be serious with whatever they do....

Do you still need to be told that Uganda 🇺🇬 president Yoweri Museveni is a dictator? You won’t say it because of your British government relationship with him in destroying east of DRCONGO

🤣🤣🤣🤣 PoliceUg can sometimes, if not regularly, be over-the-top.

dfkm1970 We get famous for the wrong reasons. Anyway — until May 14 💀

Of coursly they have to release those people :/

fr! That's f nonsense What kind of explanation is from government. They got arrested while they are celebrating to their team against to win Manchester like whaa? I mean actually it's good to celebrate to win, they are supporting their own country team! Where is the justice?

The officer in charge supports Arsenal too.. 😏😏😏

Only in Africa. A dark continent

SanusiPencil bauss_44 una Dey enjoy for this country, if na Uganda ni, Both of you for don be ex convic

Because Arsenal lost to Man City, they're no longer a threat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its sad! Has Amin resurrected and back to Uganda?

Police is always gunner.

5 people? really they need a permit, which Africa is this country in ?

Arsenal OfficialAFC_ID FansArsenal10 ArsenalFansChat

To put it simpler ' they celebrated winning against Manchester club and got locked up and they were released for losing against Manchester club'.

The police chief is a man utd supporter

It's evident that the police officers are die hard red devils supporters

malimaceesay you may want to see this...☝️

These might be just fans having a fight

They were causing chaos & jump by blocking cars from moving

😂😂😂😂😂👍🏿

Someone said in a dictatorship, any gathering is seen as a threat, and that pretty much summarised this arrest of arsenal fans for celebrating.

Arsenal give the guys free tickets to watch an Arsenal game

😅No comment.

Arsenal

Arsenal has to appreciate this guy's

Leaders are meant to lead, and not kill. Manage life on planet 🌏 as off it. Today! As it seems, someone's got greedy! And kept you on it. Your grounded bitches, for others amusement! Learn and dream all you want! Your Prevented from leaving this planet 🌏.

The story is tired, let it rest.

God bless our homeland Ghana 🇬🇭.

why didn't arsenal board intervene surely

Whenever I see news like this I feel sorry for our Ugandans brothers, as Kenyans are a very lucky lot the articles 36 and 37 of our constitution give you all rights to assemble, demonstrate and the police are required to be around and protect you as well...!

The policeman seen here posing for a photograph. Is he also an Arsenal fan 😄

Arsenal martyrs🤣🤣🤣

Because all Ugandans are United fans 😂

🙄

That gunner in the middle will surely be back in future, man didn't learn anything obviously 😂

So in essence, they were released after they lost to Man. city. This is definitely a Man problem. Remember they were arrested for beating Man.U

....while here in kenya, we hold Arsenal prayers peacefully.

This 'news' is tired... 😴

Arsenal

All what knows is to say bad things about Africa

Same news different pictures poses 😂😂😂😂😂😂 7 days a week

This is the 7th time I am seeing this news this week. Do you recycle news now?

😁

Reason for the arrest.

Okay 👌 but this is hilarious. Lawyers just.

MissRoxyBoyd Mu Zambia ngatwali wena kale. Ubwingi abatu cita disappoint🙆🏾‍♀️

Wilbright_jr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁😁 hizi habari za Kenya na Uganda bana.. huku wangeandamanaaa hawa

Yes 👍👍 indeed, justice has been served.

Every year alcohol misuse results in increased criminal justice and law enforcement expenses, decreased work productivity and increased health care costs. Alcoholism affects almost every aspect of society

Churches and Alcohol needs to be regulated otherwise the future of Afrika is doomed. We need to bring back critical thinkers in our societies not those in love with alcohol or who raise up early and start praying loud without work

wahh_massa

We need this over here

This is wrong reporting, has BBC degenerated to the level of githeri media as well DP Gachagua says they need to license only one night club the rest of the pubs remain within the bracket of 5.00 pm to 11.00 pm working hours Alcoholism must be dealt with

You really had to change the subject for the damages award to 'anguish'

Good judgement.

When education becomes something else, you start acting crazy. Let her clear the guy.
