Faridah Nakazibwe, Justine Nameere feud reignites over released audio

What the report says

A renewed public dispute between Ugandan media figure Faridah Nakazibwe and State Minister for Local Government Justine Nameere has surfaced after Nakazibwe shared a recorded audio clip, according to Sqoop Uganda. The outlet says the move was a response to Nameere’s reported threat of a defamation case involving another woman, reopening a feud that has followed the pair for years.

Sqoop Uganda says Nakazibwe used social media to criticize what she described as accountability and image management among public figures, while also referring back to earlier legal clashes. The article states that she alleged Nameere had once sought Shs 500 million in damages during prior disputes and later missed mediation and court appearances, though those claims are presented as Nakazibwe’s account. Nameere, in turn, dismissed the accusations and suggested that Nakazibwe had been “humbled” by karma.

The publication places the origins of the conflict in 2018, when Nakazibwe accused Nameere of creating fake online accounts to harass her and interfere with a relationship; Nameere denied that allegation and pursued a defamation complaint. More broadly, the latest exchange matters because both women remain recognizable public figures in Uganda, and the disagreement shows how personal disputes can continue to play out publicly through social media and legal threats.
