Kampala’s most eccentric people

Kampala’s most eccentric people

A new Queen Bee was hatched unto Uganda recently, kicking out old names like Judith Heard, Sue O’Chola De Roy and all the other eccentric characters.I can imagine what must be going on in the minds of the old rags whose territory has been invaded by a little-known, 22-year-old Latifa ‘Black’ Nalukenge. She says she was born in 1989. Black, Mad Black, Latifa Black, we have failed to catch up with her stage names, though her facebook profile name is Black Meddie Ssentongo pub golf rules.From blowing dollars off her palms to a scrambling crowd, to giving Shs1m in five seconds to a famous artiste if he acknowledged that he is truly broke, Black has become the talk of town.Not because of her beauty – no one has accused her of that – or her hair that changes colours every week. What all the Doubting Thomases want to know is, “Where does she get her money from?” She was even favoured by Sylvia Owori as the guest of honour at the launch of midnight shopping.Judith Heard must have taken a look at herself in the mirror wondering why her name has dropped off the top of the list so fast. Black, whose hero is obviously Meddie Sentongo, says she is a real estate dealer.
Some say she married one Mr Black and came out of the marriage with his child Jonan and a few million dollars in child support. Others say Mr Black is six feet under and she was willed his fortune. No one really knows the truth because many are not buying the real estate story, and she is not giving interviews.Some people are dense; I have told you not to ask me silly questions. Heeeeeeeee. Leave me alone,” one of her facebook status updates reads. Well, not in that perfect English but this status has 41 comments never mind that she is telling these people off Newest Golf News about Hunter Mahan.A real Black facebook update reads as such, “Be u’re self, don’t loss hope wait 4 u’re time to come, b’se mi am not God, am only a little gal just born in 1989/7/5 let mi just say I was blessed before ma mom born mi.”90% of her facebook updates are in Luganda and about her love for Meddie Ssentongo; 10% is about her son Jonan.Meddie, I miss u please come back home and we sleep ma darling, please am waiting for you let us make this day very sweet and don’t forget that I do adore u with all my heart sweet heart,” she writes.It is not enough to say that Black is living large, she is known to close bars in Club Silk where she pays millions for all revellers’ refreshments. She has a line of bang handlers whose lifestyle she funds as they run around with her flashing the middle finger in her latest wheels, a Range Rover Sport.
