The Senior Presidential Advisor and head of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC-NRM), Chief Muzzukulu Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, concluded her second diaspora tour of South Africa with a powerful message of Musevenomics and Wealth Creation, reaching and empowering over 200,000 Ugandans with financial support, ideological clarity, and government-backed intervention.
The 10-day mobilization tour, which began on Friday, July 29, 2025, saw Hajjat Namyalo traverse multiple provinces and cities, including Pretoria, Cape Town, Turffontein, Mpumalanga, Mayfair, Langalakta, Hammaskala, and Atteregivelle, engaging Ugandan communities in Southern Africa with direct financial injections from President Museveni, with calls to embrace enterprise and self-reliance.
During the campaign, more than 20 organized Ugandan groups in South Africa received empowerment packages ranging from USD 10,000 to USD 25,000, part of President Museveni’s directive to accelerate wealth creation among diaspora Ugandans.
Among the biggest beneficiary groups was the Pretoria United Group, which received USD 10,000 to support their ongoing investment in crop farming and poultry broiler production. Similar support was delivered to a 45-hectare Ugandan-led farm in Roodplaat, Mpumalanga, managed by Mr. Kiwanuka Denis, which employs dozens of Ugandans and produces cabbage and sukuma wiki.
“Mzee’s vision is an Africa where youth are producers of goods and services, not just consumers,” Hajjat Namyalo told the communities. “That’s the foundation of Musevenomics—production, enterprise, and patriotism.”
In Mayfair and Langalakta, both known strongholds of the opposition NUP diaspora, Namyalo faced a tense reception with the supporters throwing “Anti-Museveni” chants, but she managed to calm the storm, met their leaders, and eventually delivered USD 10,000 in support of youth-led business ventures.
Namyalo’s outreach, described by many as “bold and motherly,” marked a breakthrough in reconnecting politically disillusioned Ugandans to the government’s economic programs.
In her message to the masses, she said political misinformation had flourished due to neglect by Ugandan authorities in engaging the diaspora, giving space to the opposition to radicalize young Ugandans online.
“We are fixing that gap. We want our brothers and sisters abroad to know that Uganda still cares for them, and their success abroad matters to us back home,” she added.
Namyalo’s second visit in a space of one month followed a report she submitted to President Museveni earlier this year after her first South Africa tour. It highlighted key diaspora frustrations, including delays in passport renewals, lack of legal status for some Ugandans, unemployment and economic hardship, and political criminalization of Ugandans abroad.
She pledged to work with relevant ministries to fast-track solutions, including facilitating mobile consular services, legal support for those facing immigration challenges, and closer engagement with South Africa-based Ugandan businesses.
In every engagement, the Chief Muzzukulu emphasized responsible living, warning against the dangers of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, which she said continue to rob the continent of its productive population.
“Africa’s biggest resource is its people, especially the youth, but only if they remain healthy, focused, and united,” she said, urging unity among diaspora communities, calling for the formation of SACCOs and investment clubs to build internal capital and independence.
The tour concludes with Namyalo reaffirming her commitment to consolidate diaspora support for President Museveni’s socio-economic transformation agenda. “We are not just giving money, we are restoring dignity, trust, and a new ideology that says: ‘You too, can be the spark of change in Africa.’ This is what Musevenomics means.”
The ONC boss is expected to continue mapping Ugandan groups in other diaspora hubs across Africa, Europe, and North America as part of a broader campaign to unite Ugandans abroad under one wealth creation and patriotism movement.
