Popular Buganda history storyteller and YouTube personality Muzeyi Magala has lost his home in a fire that broke out in the early hours of Sunday in Bunyaaka, Luwero District.
According to reports shared by his close colleague, Shalom Kaweesi, the house was completely destroyed in the incident.
Magala’s wife has since spoken out about the frightening ordeal, alleging that attackers used petrol to start the fire and that their intention was to kill her and the children.
“They wanted to kill me and the children. They used fuel to start the fire. I wonder why they want to end our lives,” she said.
The allegations have raised concern over the circumstances surrounding the fire, although investigations are needed to establish what happened.
Muzeyi Magala is a familiar face on YouTube, where he has built a following through storytelling about Buganda’s history, cultural heritage and personal experiences.
