“Storms don’t warn you when they’re coming. So, build the reservoir now.” Mentorship isn’t just advice; it’s preparation. 💡 Have you been filling your cup? 💡 Are you building the discipline to lead when others panic? 💡 Can you remain calm, focused, and responsible when the…
In just three years, Uganda has entered over 10 new international markets, established trade hubs, and begun unlocking capital in key value chains, ranging from IT to dairy. But this fragile progress can be compromised by risky politics. Let us approach this season with a sense…
“Libya had wealth. It had roads. But it lacked unity, and it fell. As Uganda builds its future, let us not confuse infrastructure with institutions. Let’s guard what we’ve built, with memory and foresight.” PART 3 #UgandaDecides #LeadershipWithHistory #UgandaDecides2026
“If we are to preserve the dignity of our country and stay on the path of economic growth, we must choose persuasion over intimidation, service over noise, and unity over division. As we enter this critical electoral season, I ask that we keep our streets clean, our campaigns…
“Fellow Ugandans, our democracy is growing, but it faces threats from some within, others from powerful global actors. We must never let elections become the breaking point of our economy, reputation, and unity. Let us speak wisely, act maturely, and protect the institutions that…
This was the Citation we read as the Late Justice George Kanyeihamba received the Mentorship Award last year by HE @KagutaMuseveni He has made a significant contribution to the judicial system in a career spanning more than 50 years, upholding justice, promoting human rights,…
📍Kamuli Municipality, We spent the day in Kamuli, immersed in practical learning and the discipline of production for export. Hosted at the home of Mr. Thomas Kategere, with whom we work at @paceidug, our session focused on hands-on training and field demonstrations. Farmers…
Endiiro coffee & its proprietor, Cody Lorance shows us the value of unyielding focus, resilience against tough times & an open approach to high value markets. I thank Cody, one of our Trade Reps in the north of Chicago and the US for this success. We will open more stores
Certainly Dr Zac; he should speak. What I did was conjecture to provide a base for debate about names and our country’s history. My assumption is young people often skip these matters given the change in our country and their fight for day to day living. Thanks for the advice
Why don’t you let Dr Magara speak for himself? Or you ask him, and report here, what he tells you about his roots? I think, like all our stories, the story is more complex than you seem to suggest.
I forgot to mention ‘Magala’ in Buganda is associated with the Mmamba clan, one of the first five clans of Buganda they call “Abasimba” or Abasangwaawo when Kabaka Kintu arrived at Buddo and defeated Bemba Musota to become the first king of what would be a rising Buganda kingdom.…
Bwana Tendereza, the name ‘Magara’ cuts across Uganda in many people groups. In the greater western Uganda, it means “Life”. In Buganda, it is spelt as “Magala” but pronounced differently as “Magaala” almost like how you pronounce “Omugaara” which in Ankore means the mane or the…
To understand African names, you have to look deeper & have interest in anthropology. Because many Africans are enamoured by European names, they often miss the underlying meaning, richness & unity of our people groups. For example in Lango, they have a name “Chagar”. It might…

I thank Dr. and Mrs Magala for providing ground to nurture tomorrow’s leaders at Vine academy through Christian education and sports. I thoroughly enjoyed along with our daughter, the 10km run this morning! In a country that produces coffee and drinks so little of it…
🎙️ Season 2 Episode 4: "Dignity, Debt, and the Discipline to Rebuild" Dignity isn’t inherited. It’s earned by how you think, work, save, and lead.” In Episode 4, we unpack what’s holding Africa back—and it’s not just bank rates or borrowing. It’s a deeper issue of how we think…
🎙️ Season 2 Episode 3: What Broke Uganda? Power, Peasants, and the Fight to Rebuild “You think we’re stable because things just worked out? No. Young people chose to rebuild when everything was lost.” In Episode 3, we go back to the roots of Uganda’s broken structure—and how…
PACEID next level (2.0) aims to drive the aggregation of our products, thereby reducing the frustration of off-takers with inconsistent supply. We were pleased to host a firm producing peanut butter for the East African market and their planned supplier of groundnuts in Uganda.…
This milestone in Uganda’s export journey would not be possible without the visionary leadership of H.E. @KagutaMuseveni. His commitment to industrialization, value addition, and investment in Free Zones has laid the foundation for agro-industrial exporters like Afrishamba,…

On Saturday, we gathered in Entebbe with crop inspectors from @MAAIF_Uganda, two pioneering exporters, Afrishamba and Hortifresh, offtakers from the UAE, PACEID, and UGExim to assess the readiness of the Free Zones Export Facility. The Government has invested in irrigation…

🎙️ Season 2 Episode 2: "Mindshift: The War for Africa’s Resources and the Battle for How You Think" “When you control how people think, you don’t need to control their land.” In Episode 2, we go deeper into the silent war over Africa’s most valuable assets: not just rare…
As young people, you must know where we come from to shape where we are going. In this talk, I reflect on the Buganda Agreement of 1900, the four-tier class structure that colonialism imposed on Uganda, and how it continues to influence leadership, enterprise, and innovation…
