Uganda’s army chief and PLU chairman Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba has ordered a nationwide push for Kiswahili, saying English should be the “last resort.”

Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defence Forces and chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), announced Saturday that the movement will actively promote Kiswahili across the country.

“PLU, shall actively promote the Kiswahili language all over Uganda. So that we will realise Mzee’s dream of a national language. If you cannot speak the local dialect, speak Kiswahili. English should be the last resort,” he posted on X.

“Mzee” refers to his father, President Yoweri Museveni. The post quickly drew hundreds of replies and thousands of views.

PLU official and Kasambya MP Daudi Kabanda immediately backed the line, writing: “Even in our Parliament, Swahili must replace English.”

The announcement aligns with existing government policy. Uganda adopted Kiswahili as a second official language in 2022, made it a compulsory school subject, and in July 2026 launched Swahili Day plus competitions to expand its use in media and public life. The goal is national cohesion and deeper East African Community integration, where Kiswahili is already a working language.

Kiswahili is the most widely spoken African language across Kenya, Tanzania, eastern DRC, and parts of the region. Uganda has long treated English as the language of government, courts, and higher education while recognizing dozens of indigenous languages. Luganda remains the most commonly spoken language in much of the country, especially the central region, which has fueled periodic debates over which African language should take priority.

Online reaction was mixed. Supporters called it a patriotic step toward African identity and regional trade. Critics asked why the announcement itself was written in English, argued that Luganda already functions as a practical national lingua franca for many Ugandans, or said English remains more useful internationally. Some replies were mocking; others treated the statement as a serious policy signal from a figure widely viewed as a leading 2031 presidential contender.

The statement comes as PLU continues a nationwide signature drive to endorse Kainerugaba for the 2031 election while he remains a serving officer and CDF. Language policy has been a recurring theme in Ugandan politics since independence, from Milton Obote and Idi Amin’s earlier Swahili experiments to the Constituent Assembly’s decision to keep English official and promote Kiswahili gradually.

No official government circular or parliamentary motion has yet followed the PLU directive. Implementation would require coordination with the Ministry of Education, local governments, and media houses already being urged to increase Kiswahili programming.

Botswana President Duma Gideon Boko has called on African leaders to abandon the mindset of dependency and recognise the power of Africa’s resources, people and collective potential.

Speaking in Harare during his April 2026 state visit to Zimbabwe, Boko said Africa is not helpless. He pointed to the continent’s vast natural resources and youthful population as strategic strengths that should be used to build economic independence and greater influence on the global stage.

Boko described his vision as a “new Chimurenga” — a new African struggle for self-determination, unity and control over the continent’s wealth.

He questioned why a resource-rich continent should continue approaching the world as a supplicant, insisting that Africa must negotiate from strength and claim a greater voice in global affairs.

During the visit, Botswana and Zimbabwe signed about 10 cooperation agreements covering trade, investment, security, immigration, health and other sectors.

Boko’s message was clear: Africa has the resources, the people and the potential. The challenge is turning that strength into collective power and prosperity.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said colonialism tried to make Africans feel that their languages and history were not important.

He said the late Cde Tshuma and his generation fought against this idea and helped Africans regain their history, dignity, identity and future.

Mnangagwa made the remarks during the burial of National Hero Brigadier General (Retired) Donald Silundi Tshuma at the National Heroes Acre.

He said colonial rule did not only take African land and resources. It also tried to weaken African languages, culture and history.

Tshuma was part of Zimbabwe’s struggle for independence. He joined the ZAPU Youth League in Bulawayo, later joined ZIPRA and served in the Zimbabwe National Army. He retired as a brigadier general in 2020.

Tshuma died on 15 May 2026 at the age of 71 and was buried at the National Heroes Acre on 27 May.

His life is part of Africa’s wider struggle to protect its history, culture and identity and to ensure that Africans tell their own story.

🇨🇩 The Congo River is the deepest river on Earth, reaching depths of more than 220 metres in some places.

At Inga Falls, its enormous flow has the potential to generate 40,000–45,000 MW of electricity — enough to transform power supply across much of Africa.

Yet only a fraction of that potential has been developed. Inga I and II together provide about 1,775 MW, while the larger Grand Inga project remains unrealised.

The DRC possesses one of the world’s greatest hydropower resources, yet millions of people still lack reliable electricity.

The river has the power. Africa needs the infrastructure and investment to harness it.
