Gospel singer attacked by thugs, hospitalised

 

Muwanguzi, commonly known as Ambassador Tony, is nursing wounds at the intensive care unit of St. Francis hospital, Nsambya.

 

Dan Musazi, a colleague to Muwanguzi, said the incident happened on Monday at about 10:00pm as they were closing his Boutique in Makindye Mubarak Zone near Nsambya Road. 

 

Musazi revealed that his boss was attacked by five youth who hit him on his right eye and grabbed his mobile phone before they dragged him on the road.

 

"We were preparing to close the boutique and Muwanguzi was standing outside. Five boys  hit him using weighing stones and took off with his phone," Musazi said.

 

He explained that they left him unconscious and he was rushed to Nsambya hospital.

Muwanguzi started his music journey around 2004 and through the years, he has been able to drop various worship and praise songs such as Mighty Saviour, Sirina Galwaana, Waliwo Amaanyi and his popular hit song dubbed Wetaaga Yesu. 

 

He works with various producers and is highly known or liked among believers and fellow musicians for his golden heart of sharing and helping those in need.

 

Muwanguzi is said to be a devout believer and an active church choir member at the House of Prayer Ministries of Pastor Aloysius Bujingo though in the past two years, he got miss understandings after the singer was hosted on HG TV in Maganjo of pastor Deo Ssemakula who is said to be Bujingo's rival.

 

Muwanguzi is a resident of Munyonyo and a city businessman born about 38 years ago. He wedded his wife, Faith Nankunda, in June 2018. 

 

Dangelo Busuulwa, a fellow gospel singer, said Muwanguzi was targeted like other musicians. 

 

"Many artistes have fallen victims, including producer Danz Kumapesa (RIP), producer Ricky Expendable, singer Ziggy Wine, A47, Radio and Master Blaster. On November 14, 2017, Jinja-based music producer Kim Vibes aka Geoffrey Mukisa was beaten to death," Busulwa explained. 

 

According to Muwanguzi's wife, Nankunda, her husband does not have any conflict with anybody and she does not suspect anyone.

 

Nankunda told the New Vision that they had not yet filed a Police case.
