Buganda Kingdom Staff Sports Competitions Set for November 14 and 21 at Mengo Palace

What the report says

Buganda Kingdom staff are scheduled to take part in internal sports competitions at Mengo Palace on November 14 and November 21, according to Nile Post. The event will bring together employees from different Kingdom institutions in football, netball, athletics, tug-of-war, Mweso and other traditional games. Organizers say the aim is to build unity, teamwork and closer working relationships across the Kingdom’s offices.

The programme is being coordinated by the Nnaabagereka Development Foundation. Its executive director and organising committee chair, Andrew Adrian Mukiibi, presented the plan to the Kingdom’s Directors’ Forum at the Tourism Headquarters in Mengo. He encouraged staff to attend in large numbers and said the activities are intended to help workers know one another beyond their daily duties.

The competitions will be held in two phases. Preliminary matches are set for November 14, starting at 8:00am and expected to end by 11:00am. The final round is planned for November 21, running from 7:00am to 4:00pm.

Nile Post reported that the contests will follow a knockout format, with losing teams exiting each category. Organizers also plan an evening social gathering after the sports, featuring music, dancing, food and drinks. Outstanding individuals and teams are expected to receive trophies, certificates and other prizes. The event reflects a broader effort to strengthen staff morale and interaction within Buganda Kingdom institutions.
