Titled, ‘The Face of Change’, a book written by philanthropist Shammah Benefits, a prolific political writer and activist, the book tales the story of a young musician who rise from the slums to take on one of Africa’s standing dictatorship by surprise. The 38 year old musician-cum politician is described as a generational wave of change that seeks to end the autocratic rule of 76 year old militaristic despot, Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Leaving behind his flamboyant celebrity life to risk and fight for the marginalised, Bobi will sink down into the history of Uganda as one of the heroes of the 21st century.
The book has already received a warm reception across the globe hitting major shelves across all American and European libraries. The Arua 2018 byelection violence where Bobi Wine nearly lost his life is also well documented by the author, Shammah Benefits who narrates how the musician cum politician nearly lost his life. He also tales the ordeal of Bobi’s slain driver, Yasin Kawuuma who was brutally shot by the presidential security detail dubbed SFC.

Shammah says he was inspired by Bobi’s courage and efforts to challenge the status quo. He adds that he developed interests in Bobi when he stormed the streets to protest the social media tax in July, 2018.
