🚨 Eden Hazard: “Xabi is too soft. Conte or José would have gone mental.”
“I don’t think he will last long here. Yes, that is a big statement. And I completely believe it.
Did you watch the last game? If you didn’t, you will not understand what I mean. The referee was clearly against us and he stayed quiet. I don’t understand that.
If you want to be Chelsea manager you have to have character. I get that he is still settling in and does not want to become a target for the officials. But criticising your own players after a goal that should never have stood makes no sense.
They clearly robbed the team. Conte or Mourinho would never accept that. Both would have gone mental after the game.
Xabi needs to change his approach. The Premier League is not for soft-hearted managers. You have to know when to make your stance clear with the officiating, otherwise it will keep happening.
Look at Unai Emery’s post-match interview. Chelsea were robbed by Gillett and Xabi is being soft about it.”

"One time, a client wanted to fight a tax case. I took that client into the boardroom, got markers, and I taught them for four hours. At the end, the client agreed: 'I am going to lose this case.' So we went and negotiated instead a payment period of 12 months for the tax due. That is what good legal advice looks like."

KATENDE & SSEMPEBWA: A PARTNERSHIP BUILT TO LAST
Founded in 1969 by John W. Katende, SC, and Prof. Frederick E. Ssempebwa, SC, Katende, Ssempebwa & Company Advocates has become an enduring institution in Uganda’s private legal practice.
According to KATS’ published biographies, Katende graduated in law from the University of East Africa in Dar es Salaam in 1968 and earned an LL.M from Harvard in 1970. His career spans company law, commercial practice, legal teaching and publishing.
Ssempebwa also graduated in law in Dar es Salaam in 1968, followed by an LL.M from Queen’s University Belfast in 1970. His work encompasses constitutional law, taxation, litigation and scholarship. He served as president of the Uganda Law Society from 1989 to 1991 and the East African Law Society from 2002 to 2004.
KATS continues to list both as founding and senior partners, identifying Ssempebwa as supervising partner for its legal work. These are the firm’s published roles, rather than an independently verified account of their daily schedules.
The firm’s continuing corporate work includes its appointment as legal adviser to Airtel Uganda’s 2023 initial public offering and listing, documented in Airtel’s offer materials. That assignment belongs to the firm’s record; it should not be attributed personally to either founder without further evidence.
Their legacy brings together scholarship, professional leadership and the building of a practice whose responsibilities now extend across a wider partnership. The enduring question is how the knowledge and reputation of founders become institutions that serve successive generations.

A chat with the survivors:
Oweek. Eng. JB Walusimbi (former Katikkiro of the Kingdom of Buganda @BugandaKingdom_ ) & Snr John Baptist Ssemanobe (former Uganda Cranes International & former president of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations @OfficialFUFA) are two survivors of that fateful 1964 tragedy that claimed the lives of 12 young men.
As we gear up for the memorial mass, we sat down with them earlier today for a recount of the events that happened 62 years ago.

Sometimes Americans drink strange things. People like billionaire Elon Musk alone spent nearly $500M and still couldn’t buy a Parliamentary majority for the hitherto ruling Republicans. Hell, I know places where that would not just purchase Parliament, but the President, and a quarter of the country- at a discount. Very inefficient deployment of capital right there😉

November is a month of remembrance, reflection and brotherhood.
We honour the faithful departed on All Souls’ Day, gather for the TSL Memorial Cup, and come together in prayer at the SMACKOBA Memorial Mass.
Here is a snippet of our November 2026 calendar!

Mr Davies Gawaya Tegulle. What a man! He was our Head Teacher at Victoria Nile School in Jinja. He was a great teacher. A disciplinarian. But more importantly, a good man who knew how to manage children. Rest well. You impacted on the lives of so many. We shall celebrate your life. Pumzika Vyema.

Watching our Ugandan youngsters taking on the cream of the world in the rugby at the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal, today. We have lost to tournament favourites Argentina and France - bigger, quicker, better drilled sides in all honesty. We finish the day against Japan in a coupla hours. #Dakar2026 #TeamUganda
