Prophet Elvis Mbonye and the Return of Honour to the Public Square

What the report says

Nile Post reports that a ministry around Prophet Elvis Mbonye is preparing an annual “Honour Day” gathering in Uganda, with the next event scheduled for Tuesday, 1 September, at Zoe Grounds in Kigo-Lweza off the Entebbe Expressway from 5 p.m. The article frames the occasion as a public celebration of what supporters see as the prophet’s role in worship, testimony and national conversations.

According to the piece, Honour Day began in 2017 and has since grown into a recurring event that draws thousands. The article says attendees come from Uganda and beyond to worship, give thanks and recognize the ministry’s influence. It presents honour as a biblical principle and argues that public recognition of spiritual leaders does not detract from God, but reflects gratitude for their service.

The report also says Mbonye’s ministry has spoken into areas such as politics, governance, business, economics, technology and international affairs. It cites examples of alleged or claimed prophetic words that supporters say connected to events including the 2020 lockdown and other global and regional developments. These references are presented by the publisher as part of the ministry’s wider public profile, not as independently verified claims. The article suggests the event has broader social significance because it brings faith-based recognition back into public discussion.

More broadly, the story reflects a familiar theme in Ugandan religious media: the intersection of prophecy, public life and national identity. It is mainly a promotional and interpretive piece rather than a hard news report, and readers should note that the publisher is describing the event and the ministry’s influence from a supportive perspective.
