A court in Luweero has sentenced Buganda history storyteller and TikToker Magala Balikyewunya, popularly known as Mzee Magala, to pay a Shs3 million fine and Shs30 million in compensation in a case arising from a land dispute.
The sentence was delivered on November 12, 2026, with the court opting for a non-custodial punishment after considering his health condition, particularly his diabetes.
Magala had been on remand at Butuntumula Government Prison since November 5, 2026.
The case stems from a confrontation at Christopher and David Farm in Kanyale Village, Nakaseke District, on April 13, 2022. During the incident, a farm manager reportedly sustained gunshot injuries.
Under the court's orders, Magala must pay the Shs3 million fine and Shs10 million of the compensation before he can be released. The remaining Shs20 million must be paid within one year.
The court further warned that failure to pay the Shs3 million fine could result in a three-year prison sentence.
