The announcement came via his social media platforms, written in the warm, personal tone that his fans have come to expect from him, but carrying news that nobody in Uganda’s soul music community wanted to receive.

The real thief got on a boda-boda and rode away. Sydney Gongodyo — 27 years old, Uganda Rugby Cranes player, Black Pirates club member, somebody’s son — was standing nearby. And the mob, already furious, already moving, turned on him instead. CCTV footage captured everything. It exonerated him completely. And it came too late to save his life.
