2 days agoUganda’s entertainment and media fraternity is mourning the death of Sanyuka TV producer Badru Kasirye following a fatal road accident in Namulanda on Entebbe road that also left entertainment presenter Brian Semanda popularly known as Macona critically injured.
The crash occurred in the early hours of Monday as the trio was reportedly returning from the celebrity boxing event between Chicken Chicken and Shawa.
Badru, who worked as a producer and trade marketing officer at Sanyuka TV, died at the scene of the accident. Another occupant, identified as Isaac Ndamagye, also lost his life.
Macona survived the crash and was rushed to Kisubi Hospital, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). His condition was reported to be critical by Monday morning.
The accident comes only days after Macona survived another road crash, making the latest incident an even more devastating turn of events for the entertainment presenter.
News of the tragedy sent shockwaves through Uganda’s entertainment industry, with fellow journalists, presenters and celebrities taking to social media to mourn Badru and pray for Macona’s recovery.
Media personalities, including Tabz and Bryan Aheebwa, shared heartfelt tributes, remembering Badru as a dedicated colleague while asking the public to keep Macona in their prayers.
Badru had built a reputation as a lifestyle content creator and producer, known for his behind-the-scenes entertainment coverage, celebrity interviews and digital content at Sanyuka TV.
The accident has once again reignited concerns about road safety in Uganda, where traffic crashes continue to claim thousands of lives each year.
