This house in Uganda cost $820 per square meter to build, excluding value added tax, back in 2019. It's made of brick, and it's lovely.
Kyatiri House is a four-bedroom retirement home near Masindi, designed by Localworks. Heavy brick walls run north to south and split the house into four segments, each with its own use. They also shield it from the low morning and evening sun, so the north and south sides can be mostly glass and the air can move straight through.
The finish is simple. Brick walls. A cream terrazzo floor, cast and ground before the walls went up so it has no joins. Eucalyptus panels. A pine ceiling under a metal roof. Nothing is hidden behind paint.
This is what building a home with brick properly looks like. The walls divide the house, shade it and finish it, all at once.
Localworks has been doing projects like this across Africa. Credit where it's due.

For those fans whose optic nerves have been damaged by Arsenal football, I urge you to tune in to Man City for some beautiful football. Pure art, pure aesthetics. You’ll thank me later.

If you ever banked with StanChart Uganda, you know the bar was set annoyingly high.
An app that just worked. A Visa card that crossed borders without seeking clearance. Charges that didn't arrive with mysterious relatives.
Anyway, I'm back in the market.
Sell me your bank. What's genuinely good about it?

Bro a lot of people don’t know but McKenzie was the radio godfather to the urban teenage millennials, he was to highschool and uni kids what Alex Ndawula and Andrew mwenda(compos mentis) were to the older and corporate guys of that time, if McKenzie didn’t hype your track, show or style, it was over for you!

I still remember some nights vividly, like they happened yesterday. The night The Mith & JB premiered Boujie Woujie. Mad times. What a time. The impact both stations had on UG hiphop

NG’AALI TIMEPIECES
=======
Founding Production & Assembly Lead - Uganda
=======
NG’AALI Timepieces is seeking an exceptional Ugandan to lead the first stage of our production journey.
Version One will begin locally with Ugandan mineral setting, straps, final assembly, inspection, quality control, servicing and after-sales. We are not yet manufacturing mechanical movements; we will progressively deepen local value addition as skills, systems and capability grow.
We seek a technically strong, disciplined builder with experience in watchmaking, jewellery or gem setting, precision engineering, product assembly, manufacturing quality control or technical service. You should be able to work from specifications, solve problems at the bench, establish production procedures, train a local team and engage international manufacturing partners while bringing knowledge home.
This is an opportunity to help build more than a watch brand. You will help lay the foundation for a Ugandan timepiece industry - one that turns our minerals, talent and craftsmanship into products the world will want to wear.
Ugandans at home and in the diaspora are encouraged to apply.

Kigali has largely protected it's valley floors and wetlands. Even those that had come under pressure were restored by a government programme around 2017.
This is contrast to Kampala were ~200,000 reside on the wetlands and as such has lost the vast chunk of its wetlands.

I built a free map of every drainage channel in Kampala.
Tap any drain: see why it floods, what drains into it, where it's water goes.
Zoom in for a satellite view.
Can be used to report floods and queue maintenance work.
