Thursday night turned into a nightmare for rising Ugandan star Jowy Landa when the car she was traveling in crashed while returning from a show in Kasangati.
The TCM singer, whose real name is Joan Namugerwa, shared the shocking news with fans on social media — and the images of her badly damaged vehicle are enough to make anyone’s heart stop.
The Accident That Left Fans Worried
According to Jowy, she and her team were headed back home after a successful performance when disaster struck. The car, a Toyota Noah that had only recently been gifted to her by her management, was left wrecked after the crash.
While the exact details of how it happened remain unclear, Jowy revealed that she and her crew miraculously walked away with only minor injuries.
She told fans:
“We were returning from a show in Kasangati when our car got into an accident. I thank God that me and my team survived with just minor injuries.”
The New Ride That Didn’t Last Long
What makes this incident even more shocking is that Jowy’s Toyota Noah had been unveiled just days earlier. Her new management gifted it to her specifically to ease travel for her busy schedule, especially for upcountry performances.
Fans had celebrated the milestone, calling it a sign that Jowy’s career was on the rise. But just like that, the car is already totaled, leaving the singer both thankful for life and heartbroken over the loss.
Fans Flood Social Media With Messages
The moment Jowy dropped the video of her damaged car, her comment section lit up with concern.
- “God is good, life first before the car. We thank Him for saving you,” one fan wrote.
- “Eh! This could have been worse. We need you alive and healthy Jowy. Stay strong queen,” another commented.
- Others encouraged her to rest and recover, while some noted that the incident highlights how dangerous late-night travel can be for entertainers.
Road Safety and Uganda’s Music Industry
Unfortunately, Jowy’s crash is not an isolated event. Over the years, many Ugandan musicians have found themselves in similar road accidents, often while traveling after shows late at night.
- In 2019, singer Mowzey Radio’s accident led to headlines for months.
- Eddy Kenzo has also survived several scary road incidents.
- And just earlier this year, another young star had her tour vehicle involved in a near-fatal crash.
The pattern has led fans and industry insiders to call for better transport arrangements and road safety awareness for artists who are constantly on the move.
Jowy’s Rising Career
Despite the setback, this accident comes at a time when Jowy Landa’s career is blossoming.
- She’s signed under TCM management, which has been pushing her brand with big shows, collaborations, and media appearances.
- Her unique sound and energetic performances have been drawing in younger audiences, making her one of the fresh female voices to watch in Uganda’s pop and dancehall scene.
- Just weeks ago, she was trending for her electrifying performance in Masaka, proving she’s quickly becoming a household name.
The accident is a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes can change, but also how resilient the young singer is.
What’s Next for Jowy?
Jowy has promised fans that she’ll be back on stage soon, once she and her team have fully recovered. Her management is also expected to issue a statement in the coming days about both her health and possible plans for a replacement car.
For now, she’s focusing on resting and thanking God for a second chance.
She ended her message to fans with heartfelt gratitude:
“This was scary but I’m alive. Thank you for all the love and prayers.”
