According to Dax, the lessons he received from Bobi Wine continue to guide him and his brothers, even after the National Unity Platform (NUP) president left Uganda for the United States. “He lets you think for yourself, but if you want…

Swangz Avenue co-founder Julius Kyazze has criticised musicians who celebrated Uganda’s Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Amendment Law, arguing that the excitement overlooked a bigger problem: the failure to enforce copyright protections effectively.

According to Lwanga, musicians once enjoyed a level of exclusivity that made seeing them perform in person a special experience. However, with their content now readily available online, he believes the appeal of going out to watch them has…
