The Ugandan Tales

Product Information

Now, the people are finally taking a stand against the post-independence African leaders who have been trying to manipulate their people and satisfy their egos. Ordinary Africans have suffered a great deal at the hands of oppressing leaders whose public façade embraces emancipation and freedom. He completed his A-levels at Makerere High school and attended university at Makerere University where he completed his law degree. The country’s sports predicament was so simply yet vividly captured in the nature of this match, the sporting stories of the two boys slugging it out in the sweltering heat, and everything else around centre court.

Ayella plays cricket for Uganda Charity Trust Fund, an organisation which has taken care of him (tuition and all) along with several multi-talented youths from the Naguru area, including the top tennis players David Oringa and Henry Muyanja. The strength, valor, and the unyielding spirits of the Ugandan people depicted in the book serve as inspiration and motivation for the readers. This time there was no press presence except for me, and I had only gone to Lugogo to get served a local lunch under a tree, rather than queue up at the new KFC or the old Nandos, before being dragged to courtside by UTA official Victor Drile.Ayesiga, apparently a top ten junior on the African continent, is so serious about his tennis career he will readily pull out his laptop to help you with information if you asked about his career and rankings. This did not happen at all and it proves that the rumours that he did not finish university could be true. The poems shine a light on numerous relatable adversities such as social injustice, breach of civilian rights, and police brutality. Muhoozi became interested in a number of girls and wanted to get married, but Janet Museveni would vet them and refuse them.

Being fed up with their sheer hypocrisy, utter negligence of the citizen's basic rights, and despotism, the people of Uganda have gathered up all their courage and determination to finally take a stand against these oppressors. On one side of the net was Simon Peter Ayella, the tall, powerfully built son of Uganda’s greatest tennis player of all time, John Oduke. Mugabe is the role model Ayella, Ayesiga and the rest are looking up to, but admittedly his career should be further ahead of where it is at the moment.The tales of the oppression and struggles accelerated by oppressors who don’t practice what they preach will bring several emotions to the surface, including rage, sadness, anger, and even hope for Africans. Oduke has taught his son the game really well, but is perhaps powerless to stop the boy opting for cricket, which is in reality more rewarding with trips abroad, money and all else. The book is set in Uganda and about the struggles of ordinary Africans against post independence African rulers that preach freedom and emancipation but have turned into oppressors.
