Prof John Ntambirweki, the vice chancellor and founder of Uganda Pentecostal University in Fort Portal, western Uganda, has died. Ntambirweki died on Wednesday at Kampala’s Le Memorial Hospital. He’s been sick for a long time, and he even missed the university’s graduation ceremony last month, when a new chancellor was inaugurated. He established Uganda Pentecostal University as the Grotius School of Law and Professional Studies in 2001 and has served as vice chancellor ever since. The Grotius School of Law was renamed Uganda Pentecostal University after being approved by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in 2005. Ntambirweki is a former senior professor at Makerere University and the former head of the law department at Uganda Christian University. In addition, he has worked as a consultant with Ntambirweki Kandeebe and Company Advocates. As a worldwide legal researcher, he has provided legal counsel to government agencies in several African nations as well as international organizations. He was also the chairman of the Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE) board of trustees.

Rickman’s song “Cinderella,” which was released more than a month ago, has been receiving favorable rotation on radio stations and on various internet streaming services. On Friday, stunning graphics were added to the song on which he collaborates with An-known, in which Rickman’s girlfriend Sheilah Gashumba plays the role of “Cinderella.” According to the pictures The New Light Paper cited, the two lovers look to be quite close and even share a passionate kiss in the pictures. To our surprise, the video was removed just hours after it was posted! We discovered it had been erased when looking for more visual snippets. Unconcerned by a potential breakup with Rickman, Sheilah Gashumba We came across scathing comments on Sheilah Gashumba’s Snapchat account while looking for an explanation, in which she appears to place the blame on the musicians. The host of NRG Radio Uganda responds, “Don’t ask me about (the) music video,” when questioned about why the video was removed. I’m merely a video vixen; the artist is not me. She then launches into a tirade about being upset for wanting the video to be made more than the musicians did. Never wish for someone’s happiness more than they wish for their own. You will be extremely, extremely DISAPPOINTED, she warns. Sheilah Gashumba, who is visibly upset, declares that she will stop talking about the artists’ “clumsiness” because she is “too organized for such nonsense.”
