Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda (CCBU) has ramped up its efforts to improve water efficiency at its Rwenzori and Namanve plants by introducing innovative measures designed to reduce water usage.
Muminu Kirunda, the Manufacturing Development Specialist at CCBU, explains the company’s approach: “Water is essential to life, our beverages and the communities we serve. We aim to promote water stewardship within our business to increase water use efficiency and return safe water to communities.”
For CCBU, part of the Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) group, data is a powerful tool in their water efficiency efforts. The company seeks to continuously evaluate and improve its production methods to reduce water use. This includes hourly monitoring of the returnable glass bottle line performance during the cleaning of the bottles and daily performance reviews to keep track of the amount of water used in the operations.
The company also fosters a culture of water responsibility in its operations through awareness campaigns and by appointing water champions in its plants to promote best practices, keeping water efficiency as a top priority.
“By monitoring our water usage, we are working to operate as efficiently as possible,” explains Kirunda.
These efforts are in line with a broader effort by The Coca-Cola Company in Africa and its bottling partners.
In September 2024, The Coca-Cola Company, along with its bottling partners CCBA, Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company (ECCBC) and Coca-Cola HBC, announced a nearly USD 25 million investment aimed at addressing critical water-related challenges in local communities across 20 African countries.
The work will be led by the Global Water Challenge (GWC) and implemented by a consortium of partners, including The Nature Conservancy (TNC), The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This initiative, beginning in 2024 and continuing through 2030, underscores the importance of enhancing water stewardship.
For Joseph Beyanga, better known as Joe Walker, road safety is not a mere campaign, but a personal mission driven by a deep concern for the thousands of lives lost on Uganda’s roads every year. What began as a bold idea to raise awareness through long-distance walks has evolved into a powerful national movement inspiring communities, influencing policy discussions, and shifting mindsets about road safety.
Joe Walker’s advocacy journey started with a simple but pressing realization: too many road crashes in Uganda could be prevented through better road user behavior, improved pedestrian infrastructure, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws. His mission became even more urgent when the 2022 Uganda Police Force annual crime report revealed shocking statistics; 21,473 people were involved in road traffic accidents, with 4,534 (21%) losing their lives on the spot.
Determined to take action, Joe Walker embarked on his first long-distance road safety walk in 2022, covering 350 kilometers from Kampala to Bushenyi. This trek was more than just a physical feat—it was a clarion call for collective responsibility in making Uganda’s roads safer. Despite enduring extreme weather conditions, physical exhaustion, and logistical challenges, he remained resolute, driven by the knowledge that every step he took could help save a life.
“Many people assume road safety is just the government’s problem, but it affects all of us. Every time a boda boda rider speeds past traffic recklessly or a driver ignores a zebra crossing, lives are at risk. We all have a role to play,” Joe Walker emphasizes.
Recognizing the significance of his mission, Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda (CCBU) stepped in as a key partner, providing critical support to help amplify his message. For four years, CCBU has served as the official hydration partner for Joe Walker’s road safety walks, ensuring that he and his team remain energized throughout their treks. But their partnership goes beyond hydration—it is a shared commitment to creating safer roads for all Ugandans.
Kirunda Magoola, Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability Director at CCBU, highlights why the company chose to support Joe Walker’s initiative. “We believe that by supporting his movement, we are not just providing hydration but fueling a cause that is making Uganda’s roads safer for everyone. His dedication to road safety aligns perfectly with our commitment to community well-being,” he says.
Since 2022, Joe Walker’s advocacy has reached thousands of Ugandans, from boda boda riders and schoolchildren to policymakers and entire communities. His relentless efforts have sparked real change, including increased awareness of pedestrian safety, leading to more community-led advocacy for zebra crossings and safer walkways.
There has also been greater enforcement of road safety laws, particularly against speeding and reckless driving. Additionally, corporate and government engagement has grown, with stakeholders like CCBU stepping in to support long-term solutions.
As he continues his mission, Joe Walker hopes to see lasting policy changes that prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety, alongside stricter enforcement of traffic laws. With partners like CCBU standing firmly by his side, he is confident that his journey is far from over.
Joe Walker’s walks are not just about covering distances; they are about changing attitudes, saving lives, and proving that one person’s commitment can spark a nationwide movement. Uganda’s roads may still be dangerous, but thanks to his relentless advocacy and strong partnerships, a safer future is within reach.

The campaign involves a ritual being introduced to tequila and premium party lovers, that will see partygoers at every 1942 sponsored event raise their glasses and make a symbolic toast at the click of 9:42 pm. The symbolic toast, which was also launched at Baoli, marks the fusion of luxury, good vibes, and unforgettable memories.

Singer Pallaso has opened up about his role in shaping the careers of some of the country’s biggest music talents.
Speaking recently on Shalom 256, the artist took credit for helping and nurturing several now-successful musicians during their early days in the industry, including Grenade Official, Fik Fameica, Spice Diana, and Jowy Landa.
“Many artists have passed through my hands when they were just starting out, and I take pride in that,” Pallaso shared.
He recounted how he first encountered Grenade Official when he was just 12 years old, living on the streets. “I got him off the street, brought him to my home, and started nurturing him,” he said.
Pallaso also mentioned discovering Spice Diana shortly after she had completed high school, around the time she released her breakthrough hit Onsanula.
As for Jowy Landa, he recalled, “I drove and picked her from Salaama Road when she was still little.” He also pointed out that Fik Fameica and producer Hash Beats came to him at a young age—Fik Fameica was only about 16 at the time.
Despite not always being in the spotlight for his behind-the-scenes contributions, Pallaso expressed pride in the artists’ success stories. “I’ve helped many artists, and I’m proud that they have gone on to become successful,” he said.

It’s always a dream for any person getting into marriage to live a happy life with their partner. However, sometimes things happen that shatter their expectations due to various problems. A lady named Phosia from Gulu shares her story of how, after being married for five years, she began to wonder if her husband was still invested in their marriage, as he seemed to have lost interest in her.
“Earlier during our first year of marriage, he would show great care for me. He would take me on weekend retreats and to other places where lovers spent time together outside of work. But now, it reached a point where even saying a romantic word to me was a taboo for him. Most of the time, he was gloomy, and I wondered if I was no longer attractive,” she said.
She even began to suspect that her husband might have been involved with another woman, which could have caused him to lose interest in her. But that was not his character. She had always known him as a man of integrity who valued his family above all else.
Through a friend, Phosia was introduced to Masunga Doctors, a herbalist experienced in solving marriage problems through his exemplary marriage spells. She contacted Masunga Doctors at +256 769 678 458 and asked for assistance.
She met with Masunga Doctors, who cast love spells to restore the affection and romance in her marriage. Additionally, Masunga Doctors assured her that her testimony would not be spread on news websites or social media. A few weeks later, Phosia returned to share how the spells had completely transformed her husband into the loving and romantic man he once was. She now felt secure as her husband returned to his earlier character of being a happy and loving spouse.
“I now feel as if I’m in a new marriage. Masunga Doctors’ spells changed everything in our marriage. My husband has since then been filled with joy, happiness, and romance, something that had been missing for a while,” she said.
Many others who have been assisted by Masunga Doctors say they have received powerful healing and are now living worry-free lives. One of the greatest attributes of Masunga Doctors is their distance healing services. They work together with clients remotely, but detachment is key to success during the healing process. You must be in a quiet place and detach yourself from everything around you. This is crucial as your body must connect with the healing elements.
“You do not have to visit Masunga Doctors in person to have your problem solved. It does not matter where you are geographically, as we can successfully assist you through distance healing,” says Masunga Doctors.
Alien Skin has expressed deep frustration and disappointment following a recent attack in Iganga that left him with serious head injuries.
The singer, who traveled to Kenya before Easter to seek better medical care, revealed that he had previously requested a gun for personal protection, but his appeal was dismissed without explanation.
In an emotional statement, Alien Skin said, “They almost killed me, and that is nothing compared to what we go through. I try so much to stay alive because I know even when I cry for help, they will not listen to me, claiming I’m the instigator always.”
Feeling let down and unprotected, the singer is now contemplating a permanent move to Kenya, where he believes he might find the recognition and peace of mind he lacks at home.
“I feel unappreciated. I might just stay here. I am very certain I will be praised and appreciated elsewhere. Even Muhammad and Jesus Christ weren’t appreciated in their respective hometowns. It happens to all great people. Always go to where you are appreciated,” he added.
Musician Abdul Mulaasi has confessed that his life in the limelight was only part of a much deeper story. In an interview with a YouTuber, Mulaasi disclosed that he had been working undercover for the government—even as his star rose in the entertainment industry.
Abdul Mulaasi
Mulaasi revealed that his service began during President Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Army (NRA) takeover.
“I served during Museveni’s NRA when they took over power and stayed active in the army operations,” he said.
What shocked many was his claim that his covert role did not end with his military service. Instead, he continued working undercover even as he gained fame in the music world.
“Even when I became a celebrity, I stayed undercover and you didn’t know,” he stated.
According to Mulaasi, his safety was a priority. “I used to be protected by more than five officers,” he shared. “Two used to be on stage with me, and the others stayed backstage.”
Bobi Wine has shared a touching tribute, reflecting on a deeply personal moment he shared with the late Pontiff during his historic 2015 visit to Uganda.
Bobi Wine recalled the honor of performing for Pope Francis as part of an official Catholic Church welcome ceremony.
Collaborating with fellow artist Sylver Kyagulanyi and the Rubaga Church Choir, Bobi Wine helped compose and lead a special song that was performed during the Pope’s visit.
“I am glad I got the opportunity to perform for the late Pope Francis when he visited Uganda in 2015,” Bobi Wine said.
“When he was coming, I collaborated with my friends, including Sylver Kyagulanyi and the Rubaga Church Choir. We joined efforts to come up with a song that welcomed him.”
He explained that he chose to sing in Luganda, his native language, to ensure his message came from the heart.
“I sang the song in my native language because I wanted to freely express what I was feeling from the bottom of my heart,” he said.
Bobi Wine also reflected on his appearance during the performance, emphasizing a message of inclusion and freedom for young people in the church. “I dressed up as I did because I wanted the youth to feel free whenever they visit church, regardless of their social status,” he added.
Media personality and singer Detacha Sakalaman has spoken out in support of National Unity Platform (NUP) foot soldiers, following a recent disagreement involving Bobi Wine’s elder brother, Eddy Yawe.
Detacha Sankalaman
The tension began when Eddy Yawe reportedly clashed with NUP foot soldiers over the issue of accessing Bobi Wine freely.
Yawe allegedly insisted on his right to meet his younger brother at any time, a statement that sparked mixed reactions from party supporters.
Eddy Yawe and Bobi Wine
In response to the incident, Detacha Sakalaman stated, “Bobi Wine is now a NUP asset. Eddy Yawe will meet him at family burials.”
His comments suggest that Bobi Wine, who is both a political figure and leader of NUP, is now considered a public figure with limited personal access, even to family members.
The remarks have added fuel to the ongoing debate about the balance between Bobi Wine’s political duties and his private life.
Supporters of NUP continue to defend the need to protect their leader’s time and security, while some family members and critics argue that personal relationships should not be affected by politics.
The NUP has not released an official statement on the matter.
I remember really well the first time I bought the services of a prostitute. It was back in 2014, straight after high school. I had overstayed at a friend’s house watching a TV show (PrisonBreak) and on my way home, a lady, not exactly young, stopped me and asked if I wanted a “shot“. I initially declined, but insisted that for only Kshs. 100 Bob, she could give me immeasurable pleasure. I lived with my older brother back then and he didn’t know much about how I spent my days or the color of my piss. So long as I was alive, that was what mattered.
Several years later, after getting married to Naomi and a kid, I still sneak out almost every night to go to a popular brothel in Kibera. In fact, without doing so, my “chuma ya doshi” won’t even be able to get the job done. I find it hard to perform without seeing and buying a prostitute first. I keep telling myself that I will quit and be a reasonable, caring father but once the urge returns, it persists until it is quenched and usually, that’s daily.
Most of the prostitutes in and around Kibera know me by name and once, i met one with my wife and she smiled cheekishly, knowing we would meet again later that day. The financial implications of my habit has meant that my kids skip Christmas and admire what other kids are wearing. My wife works hard to supplement my income but I let her down every time she has to pay rent because my weekly income has been consumed at the brothel. I’ve found myself in a poverty loop of my own making.
But at least am on a recovery path. I have been on a treatment by a native doctor called Dr. Mugwenu for a few days and the results have been awesome. My bedroom game has taken a turn for the better, my wife gets excited when am home and it’s been more than three weeks now without a single visit to the brothel. It is working and I’m impressed. Dr. Mugwenu was referred to me by a co-worker whom he helped his wife conceive their first kid after years of therapy and miscarriages. I’m glad am getting better each day and in line to be healthy by the end of the month. Thanks to Dr. Mugwenu, my addiction is gone. I would recommend anyone out there with a similar addiction to call him on 0740637248 for further insights and consultation.
