In 2020, the Bizonto comedy outfit and Toby Kafeero, also known as Dr. T. Amale, had an acrimonious fallout and were not seeing eye-to-eye. However, after three years, they have buried the hatchet and vowed to work together again.
Recently, Julius Sserwanja of Bizonto and Toby Kafeero met up and discussed their latest project together. The two comedians, along with others, have championed the Unajua Kiswahili campaign, which aims to encourage people to learn the Swahili language.
During a press conference, Dr. T. Amale unveiled the campaign and announced that it would take the form of a run within the city center. Kafeero explained that in Uganda, people often associate Swahili language with armed men and talk only negatively about it, discouraging many from taking Swahili classes. He emphasized that since Swahili is a unifying language within the East African region, it would be beneficial for people in all East African countries to learn it. This would facilitate trade, policy implementations, entertainment, and other activities.
Kafeero gave an example of Mariach, a talented comedian whose comedy is limited to Uganda because he mostly uses Luganda, which other countries don't understand. Sserwanja added that during the Unajua Kiswahili campaign, which translates to "Do you know Kiswahili," a marathon would take place on July 30 at the Kololo Independent Grounds.
Other comedians who attended the press conference were Teacher Mpamire and Kalela.
