The cover of the 14th issue of @WegandaReview, with art portfolios by J.B. Kanuge & Gor Soudan. As expected, the mix of essays is as compelling as it is eclectic. @PTabaire @YusufSerunkuma @cobbo3 @AndrewMwenda @OdokiJ @Winnie_Byanyima @BBatwooki @Kwezi_Tabaro @BongeMuhwezi

This is the @WegandaReview, arguably the most iconic publication on the Ugandan culture scene: art, culture, poetry, debate, the everyday.
It is like stroll through a gallery.
The layout is so aesthetic, artistic. The pages breath freshness. The print quality top-notch.
Thanks @Roduza
Moses Matovu, the saxophonist and leader of the ever-green Afrigo Band, was a great Ugandan. His catalogue is priceless. He never made a bad song, & the best of Afrigo's music is thoroughly intoxicating in its evocation of Ugandan life. 'Speed' will always be a favorite number.

Pascal’s Wager: As clever as the 17th century French thinker Blaise Pascal was, he defended faith. For him, to believe in God was rational: there is no conflict between faith and reason. In short, there can be no life without faith.

The cover of the 12th issue of @WegandaReview , with striking art by Stephen Gwoktcho. Portfolios are by him & Ronald Odur. Devoted readers can expect the same powerful mix of prose and poetry. @ahpetite @Gyezaho @emutaizibwa @PTabaire @cobbo3 @BBatwooki @BongeMuhwezi @OdokiJ
