I think one appealing feature of newspapers 'of those days' was the number of Human Interest stories. Let me share a few shortly from archives created by Wayne Bennett, a Canadian University Students Overseas (CUSO) Cooperant 1970-1972.

During this period, Bennett collected newspaper clippings he found interesting from the Uganda Argus up to his departure from Uganda. The archival clippings provide insight into Ugandan popular political opinion leading up to and during the Asian expulsion.

βœ… The scene...

▢️ Nelson Mandela, conducting his own defence in his 1962 trial.

▢️ Presiding, is a 'white' magistrate

▢️ Mandela starts with an application asking magistrate to recuse himself....

MANDELA: A judiciary controlled entirely by whites and enforcing laws enacted by a white parliament in which we have no representation, cannot be regarded as an impartial tribunal in a political trial where an African stands as an accused

#GreatReads2021πŸŽ†
MAGISTRATE: After all is said and done, there is only one court today and that is the White Man's court. There is no other court. What purpose does it serve you to make an application when there is only one court. What court do you wish to be tried by?

GEN TUMUKUNDE: Three quarters of your news bulletin @nbstv for example is on one candidate. You show him launching something, then his election rally, interview his officials before anything else.....is that what you call free access to the media?

@nbstv GEN MUNTU: I avoid confrontations because all you gain is publicity, nothing else. Beyond publicity, I need to actually get to the voters. All my effort is in how best to reach the voters at the least cost.

@nbstv GEN MUNTU: There has been a lot of interference. Some of us never expected it to be smooth anyway for we understand the mindset of the main candidate. The EC knew we had 146 districts, but gave us only 60 days, now a ban.

There is only one #AlexMukulu!

ALEX MUKULU: There should be no qualifications to become a Member of Parliament. MPs should be volunteers...people who have already succeeded in life and wish to assist others.



#UgDecides2021
#2⃣1⃣DaysToGo
ALEX MUKULU: Each tribe recognized in the Uganda constitution should be represented by only 2 Members of Parliament. The parliament should be composed of not more than 108 people since Uganda has about 54 tribes.

On the surface, many will read, say a lot from the joint statement, but I trust Archbishop CK Lwanga's intentions. He's not loud, but consistent in passing on a message. Govt has often been critical of him.

For you, I will repeat what he said the last time he met the President.
Arch. CKL often gives a message without anyone even realizing he has said what he has said. He rarely speaks 'directly', and if he does, there will be a reason he has changed tactics.
The following thread was when he last met the president, and few realized what he had 'done'
ARCH LWANGA: We're here as members of IRCU @irc_uganda to offer end of year thanksgiving prayers, & also to pray for peace, protection & promotion of the needed fundamental & other human rights as stipulated in Chapter 4 of our national constitution.
