Ugandan singer Fred Sserugga is a man overflowing with pride after his wife and fellow musician Catherine Kusasira achieved a major milestone — earning her Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy from Nkumba University.
The power couple, known for balancing fame, family, and faith, are now proving that education is yet another field they’re conquering together.
A Power Couple in Music — and Academia
While both Kusasira and Sserugga have long been celebrated names in Uganda’s music scene, their latest achievements showcase a shared commitment to personal growth and lifelong learning.
In an emotional message, Sserugga couldn’t hide his admiration for his wife’s dedication to education, describing her success as both a blessing and an inspiration.
“You start school, it never ends,” Sserugga said proudly. “She has to go back to school and also do a government job. God willed, and we got our degrees as parents. We are still welcoming more because our children will bring them too.”
Kusasira’s Journey: From Music to Academia
Catherine Kusasira, best known for her soulful voice and commanding stage presence, has spent years building a legacy in Uganda’s music industry. But behind the glitz and glamour, she’s also been working quietly toward her academic goals.
Graduating with a degree in International Relations and Diplomacy is no small feat — especially for a mother, performer, and public figure juggling multiple responsibilities.
Her success serves as a powerful reminder to women across Uganda that it’s never too late to chase both education and career dreams.
“Education is power,” one fan wrote on Facebook. “Kusasira is showing us that beauty, brains, and talent can all coexist.”
The Next Chapter: A Master’s Degree
And Kusasira’s journey doesn’t end here. According to Sserugga, the singer has already enrolled for a Master’s Degree, proving that her thirst for knowledge continues to grow.
“She is going back for a Master’s degree,” Sserugga confirmed. “We are still celebrating many more.”
The move highlights her determination to continue expanding her horizons — potentially blending her influence in the arts with a growing presence in diplomacy and leadership.
Sserugga’s Own Educational Milestone
Not to be outshined, Fred Sserugga also revealed that he, too, is taking his education to the next level. The veteran musician has joined the Law Development Centre (LDC) to pursue his law practice, marking a major transition in his professional journey.
“We are both going back to school,” he said. “It’s a blessing to keep growing and learning together.”
His decision to join LDC shows that the couple’s household is not just a hub of creativity, but also a center of intellect and ambition.
Fans Applaud the Couple’s Academic Journey
Social media has been buzzing with congratulatory messages for the couple, as fans and fellow musicians celebrate Kusasira’s latest achievement.
“Power couple goals right there,” one fan commented. “You can have love, family, talent, and education — all in one!”
“Fred and Catherine are inspiring the youth to value education,” added another. “This is how stars should shine — in music and in life.”
Many fans praised the couple for setting an example in an industry often dominated by fame and wealth, showing that intellectual growth is just as important.
Education and Empowerment: The New Celebrity Wave
In recent years, several Ugandan artists have gone back to school, using their influence to encourage fans — especially young people — to invest in education.
Catherine Kusasira’s accomplishment places her among a growing list of entertainers redefining what success looks like in Uganda’s entertainment industry: a balance of creativity, intelligence, and purpose.
“We used to think education was for those outside showbiz,” one entertainment blogger wrote. “Now stars like Kusasira are proving it’s the ultimate glow-up.”

Together, Fred Sserugga and Catherine Kusasira have built more than just hit songs and headlines — they’ve built a legacy of love, resilience, and learning.
As they celebrate this milestone, their story sends a clear message: education is not a destination but a lifelong journey.
