Isimbi

Word reaching our desk is that Amanda Isimbi and renowned Ugandan fashion guru Kim Kibirige, commonly known as Kim Swagga could be dating.

Swagga and the former first runner up at University of Rwanda’s College of Business and Economics’ 2012 beauty pageant have lately been inseparable.

The two have been sharing a few ‘personal’ moments on social media leaving people wondering if they the two have been hit by the love bug.

A video of the two kissing went viral on social media and many criticized Isimbi for not acting like a Rwandan lady, or beauty queen for that matter.

Before the public got over the kissing scandal, nude pictures of Isimbi were shared across social media not so far back. We will keep you updated on how this will end.

Uganda’s Kanyomozi in charity work 

Juliana Kanyomozi

Renowned Ugandan songbird Juliana Kanyomozi had a heartbreaking 2014 when her only son, Raphael Keron Kabugo, passed on in a Nairobi hospital in July.

Two years later, the singer has decided to start a charity foundation, something he had always wanted.

It is said that Keron loved kids and did not want to see them suffer in anyway, so his dream was to help vulnerable kids, especially those on the streets.

We are told that the Keron Kabugo Foundation is Juliana’s way of remembering her son by doing something he was passionate about. The foundation’s logo is in Keron’s handwriting.

Per reliable sources, work starts this month with Wakisa Ministries in Mengo, a home for abandoned children and young girls.

We also know that the foundation is being financed from her own resources but she’s working hard to get donors on board.

Juliana decided to take a break from music for a greater part of this year but promises something great for her fans next year. Way to go! We wish her the best!
