In Uganda, TikTok isn’t just another social media app, it’s a movement. From viral Luganda dance challenges to political satire that spreads faster than the latest gossip, the platform has become a digital playground for creativity, connection, and change. For Uganda’s youth, it’s where music careers are launched, side hustles find customers, and cultural identity gets a global spotlight. Love it or hate it, TikTok is rewriting the script on what it means to be young, bold, and online in Uganda.

Uganda’s urban centers are always on the move, and nowhere is this more visible than in Kampala, where traffic jams are a part of daily life. For years, boda bodas, the ever-present motorcycle taxis have been the fastest and most flexible way to navigate the city’s busy streets. They offer quick rides and access to places larger vehicles can’t reach, making them the heartbeat of urban transport.

However, traditional boda bodas have long come with challenges like unpredictable fares, safety concerns, and little accountability. Commuters often found themselves haggling over-prices or taking risks on unsafe rides.

In Uganda, fashion doesn’t have to come with a big price tag, and it certainly doesn’t have to be brand new. From the busy stalls of Owino Market to roadside vendors in every town, mivumba (second-hand clothes) have become a trusted wardrobe staple for millions. Whether it’s a stylish blazer from Europe, a vintage tee from America, or designer jeans at a bargain, Ugandans wear their mivumba with confidence and pride. But beyond just clothing, the second-hand trade is a story of survival, creativity, and culture woven into the fabric of everyday life.

Bringing goods into Uganda can be exciting, especially for business. But before your items reach your shop or warehouse, they must go through a process called customs and clearance. This involves checking your goods, filling out the right documents, and paying any taxes or duties required by the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).

Why custom clearance is important?

If you’ve ever walked through the heart of Kampala, you know the city’s food markets are more than just places to shop, they’re full of life, color, and character. From early morning vegetable deliveries to the lively bargaining between buyers and vendors, Kampala’s major food markets are at the center of daily life for many Ugandans. Whether you’re hunting for the freshest matooke, a basket of juicy mangoes, or some well-priced dry beans, these markets have it all. But beyond the goods, they’re also hubs of culture, connection, and economic survival. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the biggest food markets in Kampala, what makes each one unique, why they matter, and the challenges they face today.

An irrevocable trust is a legal arrangement where the grantor transfers ownership of assets to the trust, and these assets are no longer under the grantor’s control. Once established, an irrevocable trust is very difficult to change or dissolve, as the grantor forfeits ownership and authority over the trust and its assets, meaning they cannot make any changes without permission from the beneficiary or a court order.

In this case a lawyer can act as the trustee of the trust. This can be done to avoid misunderstandings among the relatives of the grantor.
