Frank and Sheila Gashumba in catfight

City businessman Frank Gashumba is in a social media catfight with his celebrity daughter, Sheila Gashumba with one criticising the other about their behaviours, responsibilities and rights. 

Gashumba noted in a social media post that his family is not a democracy and he will raise his child as he sees fit, doing the best he can but Sheila thinks otherwise.

She accuses him of unnecessary use of violence and micromanagement that curtails her freedom to move and associate freely. 

Museveni dishes out Shs500m to Kampala traders

President Yoweri Museveni on Friday continued his cash bonanza as he dished out over shs500m to traders in downtown Kampala during his tour of the city. 

Museveni blamed the traders for voting opposition politicians to offices that have stifled his working relationship with the “wanaichi.”

On his tour, the president visited the old taxi park, St. Balikuddembe Market, among other places. 

Manchester United back to winning ways

Thanks to Paul Pogba’s heroics, Man Utd overturned a two-goal deficit against Newcastle United to emerge 3-2 victors in a mouth-watering clash on Saturday. 

A second-half free-kick by Juan Mata, an equaliser by Anthony Martial and a late winner from Alexis Sanchez gave the Red Devils renewed hope as underfire coach Jose Mourinho looks to sustain momentum against on-fire Chelsea and Juventus in the UEFA Champions League after the international break.
