For a young man that uses his photography skills to celebrate the female body through the lens of his Sony A7 Mark II camera, it is extra ingenuity for Bash Fahad Mutumba – a Photographer and Writer – to maintain a tight grip on his academic endeavors at Makerere University, an institution he holds massive approbation for.

With his definitive look – a Kangaroo cap or hat, spectacles, a t-shirt, blazer, slim-fit jeans and casual shoes – Bash Mutumba’s love for simplicity is quite obvious. That, however, should never fool you into thinking that his creativity isn’t complex.

A few minutes into the first interaction with the not surprisingly talkative photographer will get you understanding that, for him, the words; aperture, shutter speed, exposure, focus and ISO come first in his vocabulary.

The one immediately exciting thing you’ll learn from him is the hunger to teach and share knowledge of the skills he has mastered overtime to anyone inquisitive of how he uses his apparatus.

In the field, he sways around like the last soldier on the battlefield, ready to shoot at anything that tickles his eye. Yet tender with the finger on the shutter button, Mutumba is incisive, full of command and he never stops admiring his own works.

He will not ask the subject to remain in one position for too long. You rarely hear the words “do that again” during his shoots and yet when he shows you the final product, you’re amazed by how he captures the moments right in time.

I could go on and on in description of how he operates but his work is available for all to see and when you look at it, you easily realize that he upholds art and creativity as the nucleus of his brand.

Whatever he shoots, goes viral. One would raise the argument that the virality is attached to the highly nude nature of his content. Well, maybe, but he is just one of the several other photographers with the same content.

Bash Mutumba has achieved quite a lot for a career which he started at the age of 22 in 2018. There are names he insists to mention as his mentors including the legendary Oscar Ntege.

He has set out onto his own path of self discovery and more boudoir shots. Part of the process he has trusted from the start is education which, despite a few shortcomings, he has remained loyal to his ambitions and will be graduating soon.

“Photography is definitely a positive distraction. It comes a little natural for me to think of photography even while doing random things; and I love it. It automatically directs my mind to a non-toxic place.” – Bash Mutumba

Mutumba, whose graduation from Makerere University Kampala (MUK) has been delayed by the lockdown which was imposed by government in March 2020 to curb the spread of COVID-19, emphasizes what a privilege it is to study at MUK.

According to the King of Boudoir; the largest, oldest and most popular university in the country continues to dominate locally and across the continent and it’s a privilege holding a degree from the campus.

It is a big deal going to Makerere because according to rankings it’s still the best in Africa and the best university in our country.

The photographer does not rule out the weaknesses that have been registered at the university. He, however, believes that most of the problems at MUK are due to Uganda being a third world country.

Sooner or later, Mutumba will be a holder of a Bachelors degree in Commerce and he hopes that the situation in the country normalizes so that students can go back to school and he can also achieve his degree.

“I hope to finish up my degree. Things are hard and I have been working very hard in a very crucial time. It’s the reason I had to quit Galaxy FM and refocus on school and I really hope I can finish up,” Bash Mutumba explained during an interview with Ugandan Allstar.

With a degree in Commerce, you expect Bash Mutumba to propel his brand into a reputable business which can go ahead to create employment, inspiration and a base of infinite creativity for many aspiring photographers.

I see myself being an artiste for the rest of my life but of course I can’t say that my degree will not help me because there’s a lot that I’ve learnt. My company needs my brain; the accountancy and auditing perspective.

Bash Mutumba

The sky cannot be the limit for people like Mutumba and we share the positivity that his boldness and desire to stand out have birthed an entire movement for more art to sprout in the +256.

Songstress Sheebah Karungi yesterday, Tuesday May 17, 2022 recorded a statement at the Uganda Police’s Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) on her reported sexual assault saga.

The “Nwakata Burungi” singer who has been mute ever since she broke the news on her sexual harassment by one of her clients she claimed to be a ‘role-model’ in Uganda, showed up before Tom Magambo, the Director of Uganda Police’s Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID).

According to close sources, Sheebah filed a case of ‘Indecent assault’ against the yet undisclosed person.

The self-proclaimed ‘Swag Mama’ made it clear that the person in question wasn’t journalist Andrew Mwenda.

Sheebah confirmed that instead saboteurs had been falsely passing wrong information to the public pointing to Andrew Mwenda and other government officials.

Sheebah’s thought to seek Police sparked last week by Andrew Mwenda who was being trolled on social media.

I have talked to the director of CID who has agreed to open a case to find out the person who allegedly raped singer Sheeba Kalungi. Police are going to call her and ask her to reveal the offender. Sheeba is being disingenuous in hiding the true rapist as social media lynch me.

— Andrew M. Mwenda (@AndrewMwenda) May 13, 2022

The Commander for Land Forces in the UPDF, Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also Andrew Mwenda’s close friend assured maximum security to Sheebah in case she feared for her life as she advances seeking justice in this matter.

I have talked to @mkainerugaba who has promised to call Sheeba and offer her all the protection she needs in case she is afraid that revealing the person who raped her would be risky. The singer now has no excuse to fear to collaborate with police to arrest this rapist!

— Andrew M. Mwenda (@AndrewMwenda) May 13, 2022

Sheebah’s bold move has highly been commended gender activists several women both in Uganda and around the world.

Songstress Sheebah Karungi has refuted social media reports that she was raped.

Last week, Sheebah stormed her social media and revealed how she was sexually molested by yet undisclosed fabled person who had booked her to perform at his private party at his home.

Sheebah’s reports stirred countless of comments from all statuses of people as some introduced the ‘rape’ word into the saga.

However, during her press conference on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 the multi-award-winning female singer declined to have been raped.

Sheebah instead claimed to have been inappropriately touched by the man whose name she still refused to disclose.

However, the “Nkwata Bulungi” singer says that she revealed the right name to the Police CID.

“I was not raped, but those inappropriate touches are the ones that lead to rape. Also, the names of people you have all been circulating on social media are not the ones, I reported the right person to CID,” Sheebah Karungi said.

Sheebah also confirmed to have recorded a statement at the Uganda Police Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) with help of its director Tom Magambo.
