Popular social media personality Magala Balikyewunya, popularly known as Mzee Magala, is expected to know his fate on Thursday, November 12, 2026, when a court in Luweero District delivers its judgment in an attempted murder case against him.
Mzee Magala is currently on remand at Butuntumula Government Prison in Luweero District. He was remanded on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
The case stems from a violent land dispute that reportedly occurred on April 13, 2022, at around 3:00 PM at Christopher and David Farm (CD Farm) in Kanyale Village, Nakaseke District.
Prosecution alleges that during a confrontation at the property, Andrew Akandwanaho, a 33-year-old farm worker, was shot by one of the aides who were reportedly in Magala’s company.
Under Section 204 of Uganda’s Penal Code Act, attempted murder is a felony punishable by life imprisonment upon conviction.
Mzee Magala has not been convicted, and Thursday’s judgment is expected to determine the outcome of the case.
