Uganda's Chief Justice, Bart Katureebe Magunda is in South Africa for cataract surgery.The CJ flew out of the country on Monday around 2:30pm aboard Fly Emirates. 

Last week, the chief Justice apologized to the country and petitioners for the delay in delivering of the age limit ruling, claiming to have been sick. It was during the same hearing that he revealed the plans to fly to South Africa for eye surgery. 

Justice  Katureebe was in company of his wife Bernadette Katureebe and personal assistant, Aloysius Natwijuka who will be attending to him after the surgery.
The cataract procedure involves the removal of the eye lens and replacing it with an artificial one.

His office says the CJ should be back in the country on May 17th, 2019 if the operation goes well.

Last month, Justice Katureebe spent three weeks in South Africa for another operation on his left arm.
