Police in Jinja are investigating the headteacher of St. Gonzaga Senior Secondary School, Anna Nanziri, following allegations that she facilitated the sexual exploitation of female students by a Senior Six student at the school.

The allegations were raised through formal complaints submitted to Jinja district authorities and the Kiira Regional Police Command.

According to the complaints, a 20-year-old male Senior Six student allegedly selected two female students every Friday evening, after which Nanziri would reportedly drive them to her residence in Njeru Municipality, Buikwe District.

The students allegedly spent the weekend at the residence before returning to school on Monday.

The precise nature of the relationship between the headteacher and the male student remains unclear, according to the report. However, preliminary inquiries reportedly found that several students and teachers described the pair as having an unusually close relationship at school.

Nanziri is also alleged to have left her house keys with the student before travelling to Kampala, allowing him to remain at the residence with the girls.

Eight students reportedly come forward

District authorities say at least eight girls have so far presented related complaints.

According to accounts submitted to investigators, the arrangement initially involved the male student inviting girls to spend weekends at Nanziri’s home. Allegations of sexual exploitation later emerged.

Some of the girls reportedly told investigators that the student pressured them into sexual acts by claiming that he had a medical condition that could only be cured through sexual intercourse.

Other students allegedly said those who attempted to complain were threatened with suspension or expulsion, creating fear and discouraging further reporting.

One alleged victim reportedly told her mother about her experience earlier this month. The mother initially took no action but later contacted authorities after another parent reported a similar allegation.

Victims seek psychological support

The students who have come forward have reportedly asked authorities for psychological support, saying the experiences have left them traumatised and suffering from nightmares.

They have also called for justice and urged investigators to handle the matter sensitively, citing fears of speaking openly about their experiences.

Jinja District Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Hussein Malunda confirmed that the district probation team has been engaging with the girls who filed complaints.

Malunda said the findings from the team’s engagements had been handed over to police, who are continuing with investigations before the matter is referred to court.

Kiira Regional Police spokesperson James Mubi declined to provide details, saying the investigation is still at an early stage.

However, a detective familiar with the inquiry confirmed that statements have been recorded from the alleged victims, Nanziri and other relevant parties.

The allegations have not been proved in court, and investigations are ongoing.

Kampala police are searching for Rose Turindamukama after her 22-year-old roommate, TikToker Jovia Namuwulya, was found dead inside their rented room in Bukoto.

Namuwulya, who worked as a waitress and was known on TikTok as Jovia1235, was discovered on August 20, 2026, after relatives became concerned when she stopped responding to their phone calls.

According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Racheal Kawala, Namuwulya was a resident of Mukalazi Zone, Bukoto I Parish in Nakawa Division and had rented the room about seven months before her death.

Police said Turindamukama moved into the room after visiting Namuwulya about three months later, and the two subsequently lived together.

On August 20, Namuwulya’s relatives contacted the caretaker after failing to reach her. The caretaker and Namuwulya’s sister went to the room but found it locked.

Kawala said they looked through the window and noticed blood stains inside the room.

“Looking through the window they observed blood stains inside the room. They subsequently accessed the room and found Jovia lying in a pool of blood,” Kawala said.

Police were called to the scene and Namuwulya’s body was taken to City Mortuary for a postmortem examination.

However, Turindamukama was nowhere to be found when the body was discovered.

“Her friend Turindamukama Rose couldn’t be found and is currently being sought in connection with the incident,” Kawala said.

Police have not yet confirmed the circumstances surrounding Namuwulya’s death, including the motive or who was responsible.

Authorities have also cautioned against relying on competing accounts circulating on social media before investigators establish what happened.

Investigations into the death are ongoing as police continue their search for Turindamukama and work to establish the circumstances that led to Namuwulya’s death.

Dancehall singer A Pass is not thinking small.

After successfully taking his music to the stage at Serena Hotel in 2025, the singer has now set his sights on one of Uganda’s biggest outdoor concert venues, Kololo Airstrip, where he plans to stage his next major show in 2027.

Dubbed A Pass Live: Kololo Airstrip 2027, the concert was announced on Sunday, August 23, as the singer signalled his intention to make the leap from an intimate indoor concert setting to one of Kampala’s largest entertainment spaces.

The announcement places A Pass among a growing number of Ugandan musicians looking beyond conventional concert venues as established artists increasingly turn to Kololo for major career-defining shows.

But for A Pass, the decision is not simply about following a trend.

He believes his journey has reached a point where returning to Serena would mean repeating something he has already accomplished.

“I don’t see a reason to go back to Serena. I did what I wanted to do there. We are going to Kololo,” he explained during a TikTok Live session.

The singer also dismissed suggestions that Kololo could be too ambitious for him, arguing that the size of the venue is precisely what attracts him.

“Whoever says it’s a big venue, that’s your opinion because that’s not how I’m seeing it. I prefer it because it’s big and people will park nicely and I sing for them,” he said.

For A Pass, the venue is as much about the experience as it is about capacity. He wants his audience to have enough space to move, park comfortably and enjoy the concert without the restrictions associated with smaller venues.

And judging by his early conversations with fans, he believes there is already appetite for the show.

“People have already started saying they are going to buy five or 10 tables. Come and see a luxury artist in 2027 at Kololo,” he said.

The confidence comes after a successful 2025 concert at Serena Hotel, which gave the singer an opportunity to test his ability to carry a major live show.

His next challenge is considerably bigger.

No Dancing, Just Music

While many Ugandan concertgoers have come to expect elaborate choreography, dance routines and celebrity cameos at major shows, A Pass has already warned his audience not to expect him to suddenly transform into a dancer.

“If you expect to see me dancing on that day, forget about it. If you are coming to the show, be rest assured that you are only coming to see me sing,” he joked.

The singer explained that dancing has never been his strength and that an earlier attempt almost ended badly.

“I can’t dance and I will never dance. The only time I tried, I almost got broken,” he said.

That does not mean the concert will be short on spectacle.

A Pass revealed that he intends to work with renowned Ugandan events production company Fenon to develop a show that matches the scale of the venue.

“The show will entail a lot. You guys will enjoy, and we will sit with Fenon and come up with something good for you,” he said.

The emphasis, however, will remain on his music.

For an artist whose career has been built largely around songwriting, vocal delivery and an unmistakable fusion of dancehall, reggae and contemporary sounds, the concert presents an opportunity to remind audiences of the depth of his catalogue.

A Concert for Artists Too

Interestingly, A Pass does not want the concert to be solely about himself.

He has invited fellow musicians to attend and participate in the experience, although not necessarily as performers.

The singer joked that some artists, including Lil Pazo, could attend as guests of honour, but made it clear that he would not simply fill his stage with musicians for the sake of having celebrity appearances.

Instead, he wants artists to come, pay for the experience and learn from the production.

He challenged fellow musicians to treat the concert as an opportunity to study how a major show is built, from production and staging to audience management and overall presentation.

His approach is somewhat unusual in an industry where artists often compete for stage time and celebrity collaborations at major concerts.

For A Pass, however, the concert can serve a broader purpose: demonstrating what is possible when an artist takes ownership of his own show.

Following the Kololo Trail

A Pass’ decision comes after other Ugandan artists have successfully taken their music to Kololo.

The venue has recently hosted major concerts by artists such as Ray G and King Saha, further establishing it as a destination for musicians looking to stage large-scale shows.

Rather than seeing those concerts as competition, A Pass appears to view them as evidence that Ugandan artists can successfully fill large outdoor spaces when they build enough anticipation around their brands.

He has therefore chosen to follow that path rather than retreat to a smaller venue.

“We won’t go to Namboole. No, don’t stress yourselves over it. We are going to Kololo,” he said.

The declaration is also a statement of confidence.

For an artist who has spent years building a reputation beyond the conventional boundaries of Ugandan mainstream music, the concert could become another test of just how far that audience has grown.

The Marriage Factor

A Pass also connected his confidence about the concert to a new chapter in his personal life.

Reflecting on his marriage, he joked that there are certain things God does when a person settles down.

“There are things God does when you get married. I am sure I am going to fill Kololo,” he said.

It was delivered with humour, but the underlying message was clear: the singer believes he is entering the concert with renewed energy and confidence.

Still, much of the practical information about the event remains under wraps.

A Pass has not yet announced the exact date, ticket prices or the full list of performers and production partners. He has, however, urged fans to start preparing financially for the event.

“Please save money, prepare yourselves and come 2027. Come see A Pass live in Kololo,” he said.

That leaves the biggest question unanswered: can A Pass turn his confidence into a full Kololo crowd?

For now, the singer is betting that the answer is yes.

And as he puts it, “We shall fill Kololo.”

The hunt for the actor who will become the next James Bond appears to be entering a crucial stage.

Daniel Craig, the English actor who played 007 for 15 years, left the role after “No Time to Die” in 2021.

Since then, one question has followed the franchise: who will wear the tuxedo next?

The Search Moves Closer to the Finish Line

Fresh reports suggest the casting process has reached its final stage, although Amazon MGM Studios has not announced Daniel Craig’s successor.

Earlier reports said Denis Villeneuve, the Canadian filmmaker behind “Dune” and “Blade Runner 2049,” had joined producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman in moving selected actors into another round of auditions.

That development has only made the guessing game louder.

Several Actors Remain in the Conversation

English actor Callum Turner, known for “Fantastic Beasts” and “Masters of the Air,” has featured heavily in Bond speculation.

Australian actor Jacob Elordi, who rose to fame in “Euphoria” and starred in “Saltburn,” has also attracted attention, along with Scottish actor Jack Lowden, known for the spy series “Slow Horses.”

English actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for “Kick-Ass” and “Bullet Train,” has also spent years at the centre of speculation about the role.

However, Amazon MGM Studios has not confirmed any of the names.

A New Team Takes Charge

While fans wait for the next 007, the team behind the film is already taking shape.

Villeneuve will direct the next Bond film, while Steven Knight, the British writer and creator of “Peaky Blinders,” is working on the screenplay.

Amy Pascal, the producer behind several recent “Spider-Man” films, and David Heyman, who produced the “Harry Potter” franchise, will oversee the project.

When Will the New Bond Be Revealed?

Pascal has suggested that fans could learn the identity of the next James Bond before the end of 2026.

For now, though, the role remains one of Hollywood’s biggest unanswered questions.

After years of rumours, betting odds and fan campaigns, the search for Daniel Craig’s successor appears to be moving closer to its biggest moment: the announcement of the actor who will lead James Bond into a new era.
