Threeways Shipping Services (Group) Ltd has won a critical legal battle, forcing Standard Chartered Bank Uganda back to the drawing board after the High Court rejected the Bank’s attempt to shut down the lawsuit before it could be heard.

In a ruling dated 31st March 2026 Hon.Justice Patricia Mutesi dismissed the Bank’s strike-out application outright, finding it without merit and confirmed that Three Ways Shipping’s case will proceed to full trial.

Standard Chartered Bank had argued that a separate lawsuit was barred under Section 34 (1) of the Civil Procedure Act. The Court disagreed, ruling that the Banks private sale of the Threeways’ Namanve Industrial property operated outside the courts formal execution process entirely, making the legal challenge not only valid, but necessary.

The Bank had no court warrant, no judicial supervision. It acted alone and now it must answer for that in court. Civil Suit No.0050 of 2021 is alive and Threeways Shipping will have its full hearing on the merits. Threeways Shipping was represented by M/S ABMAK Associates.

A new documentary on Winnie Madikizela-Mandela will premiere later this month, bringing a more personal side of her story to the screen.

The seven-part series, The Trials Of Winnie Mandela, follows her granddaughters, Zaziwe Manaway and Swati Mandela-Dlamini, as they explore her life beyond public perception.

The late filmmaker Mandy Jacobson directed the project, shaping a story that highlights both her achievements and the controversies around her legacy.

Indelible Media partnered with The African Oral History Archive to produce the series.

The documentary premieres on Netflix on April 23, 2026, and early reactions show strong interest in its family-driven approach.

The series offers a closer look at one of Africa’s most influential and debated figures.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, born Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela, lived from 1936 to 2018.

She stood as one of South Africa’s strongest voices during the anti-apartheid struggle.

Many called her the “Mother of the Nation.”

As the second wife of Nelson Mandela, she kept his name alive during his 27 years in prison. She also kept the fight for freedom in the public eye.

Her legacy remains one of strength, resistance and lasting impact.

There is a kind of strength that rarely makes noise. It does not argue, prove a point or demand to be seen. It simply chooses to walk away.

According to Sasha Ferguson, that quiet strength is often misunderstood, especially in a world that celebrates winning at all costs. Yet in some situations, she argues, the real victory lies in letting go.

“Whenever you’re dealing with toxic people or you’re in a toxic environment, let these people win,” she said in a video clip. “Let them feel like they are winning and you are losing. It’s not that you are stupid or powerless, but because your mental health is more important than anything. Protect your sanity.”

At first, the idea feels counterintuitive. Why step back when you know you are right? Why stay silent when you have been wronged?

But for those who have experienced toxic relationships or environments, the answer is familiar. Not every confrontation leads to resolution. Some only deepen the conflict.

Ferguson describes toxicity as more than just hurtful behavior. It is manipulation. A pattern where actions are twisted, narratives are rewritten and blame is redirected.

“They know exactly what they are doing,” she explains. “And the very things they do to you are the same things they will use against you.”

In such situations, engaging can become a trap. The more you try to defend yourself, the more you are pulled into a cycle that distorts reality, where the victim can easily be painted as the aggressor.

Her message, though simple, carries weight. Choosing peace over pride is not weakness. It is awareness.

Letting someone “win” is not an admission of defeat. It is a decision to step away from chaos, to protect your mental space and to prioritize clarity over conflict.

The Commissioner for National Secretariat for Patriotism Corps (NSPC) at State House, Ms. Hellen Seku has called on Ugandan youth to embrace the strong connection between patriotism and Christianity as a foundation for personal growth and national development.

Seku made the remarks while addressing students from various universities across the country during the Focus Annual National Students’ Easter Camp held at the Focus Camp Training Centre in Garuga on Good Friday.

The camp, organized by the Fellowship of Christian Unions, was held under the theme: “Inspiring Spiritual Growth and Renewed Commitment to Christian Living and the Great Commission.”

Speaking to the gathering, Ms. Seku emphasized the importance of prayer in the lives of young people, describing it as a guiding force behind her own journey. She shared that her commitment to prayer played a key role in her rise from a humble beginning to serving in one of the highest offices in the country.

“Prayer is central to the life of every young person. It has guided me to where I am today, serving in the highest office in Uganda,” she said.

She urged the youth to cultivate a culture of reading and research, noting that excessive dependence on the digital world can hinder personal development. According to Ms. Seku, reading not only broadens knowledge but also helps young people stay focused and disciplined.

Addressing the relationship between patriotism and Christianity, Ms. Seku said both values complement each other in shaping responsible citizens. She encouraged the youth to remain committed to spiritual growth while also contributing positively to national development.

Seku commended young people for preserving the country’s peace and stability, noting that Uganda has enjoyed over four decades of relative peace compared to the turbulent past narrated by older generations.

“Our grandparents tell stories of a time when people lived in fear due to wars. Today, we enjoy peace and the freedom to worship. We must protect these gains,” she said.

The Commissioner further called for resilience, hard work, patience, and determination among the youth.

Quoting biblical teachings, she reminded participants that diligence is essential for success.

“The Bible says that he who does not work shall not eat. We must avoid laziness and instead embrace hard work and purpose in life,” she emphasized.

Ms. Seku also highlighted the core values of patriotism, including love for knowledge, diligence, spiritual uprightness, and moral integrity. She encouraged students to take interest in learning more about their country through research and active engagement.

Ms. Seku also thanked the camp organizers and Mr. Mark Kamugaba for the invitation, expressing appreciation for the spiritual leadership and guidance provided by pastors at the camp.

Seku concluded by sharing her personal testimony, attributing her achievements to God’s grace and encouraging the youth to remain steadfast in faith while pursuing their goals.

Media personality Tamale Mirundi Jr. has told Ivan Ssegujja, also known as Nsambya Furniture, to stop chasing what is already over and focus on healing after his breakup with Mirembe Irene Nagawa.

While discussing the situation on Sanyuka TV, Tamale Jr. said breakups are normal and warned against wasting time trying to force a comeback.

It is normal for people to break up. You can either stay there crying in denial or move on.

He went further and dismissed the idea that bloggers could help fix things, saying such efforts would not change the outcome.

The time he is wasting paying bloggers hoping Mirembe will give him another chance is a lie. It will not happen.

Instead, he urged Ssegujja to focus on healing and give himself time to recover from the heartbreak.

Away from the breakup talk, Tamale Jr. also shared a glimpse into his own love life, revealing that he is dating but prefers to keep it private.

He believes relationships that stay out of the public eye stand a better chance of lasting.

I have people I am dating but it is a private matter. There is no relationship I have seen in the limelight that has lasted long.

My advice to Nsambya is that he should understand it’s normal for people to break up and learn how to deal with it. – Tamale Junior#SanyukaUnCut #SanyukaUpdates #FfeBannoDdala pic.twitter.com/vBSTPOkEvy
