King Saha alleges Kapere was killed, pledges to complete comedian’s house

What the report says

Ugandan singer King Saha drew attention at a memorial gathering for comedian Yokana Mbuuse, widely known as Kapere Lufotose, by alleging that the entertainer did not die of natural causes. Speaking on Monday evening at the National Unity Platform headquarters in Makerere-Kavule, where mourners had assembled to pay their respects, Saha said he believed Kapere was killed. He did not provide evidence, name anyone he suspected or explain the basis for the claim.

Sqoop Uganda reported that Saha suggested Kapere had been trying to tell his wife, Lydia Nakandi, also called Mama Trump, something important before his death. The article notes that Kapere’s death has already prompted questions because he collapsed during a school visitation event, though the publication did not cite any official findings or new evidence about what happened.

Beyond the allegation, Saha said he wanted to support Kapere’s family by helping complete the comedian’s unfinished house. He had previously mentioned plans for a benefit concert to raise money for that purpose, and the latest remarks reinforced that commitment. The report did not give details on funding or a construction timeline.

Kapere was remembered by entertainers, friends and other mourners at the NUP event as a familiar figure in Uganda’s comedy scene. The comments add to public discussion around his sudden death, while the house pledge highlights continued efforts by colleagues to support his family.
