Love scandals of the past year

Jan 07, 2015

When intimate fails to work fine, it becomes a scandal worth mentioning. Michael Ssebatenda scans 2014 for top scandals that rocked our intimate world.


Intimate is supposed to be home of comfort, consolation, love and support. When it fails to be, it becomes a scandal worth mentioning. Michael Ssebatenda scans 2014 for top scandals that rocked our intimate world.


Cindy, Mario, Phinah and Ken

In February last year, singer Cinderella Sanyu, aka Cindy, posted on her Facebook page that she had thrown in the towel; she was done with Mario, the former barber and Cayenne Restaurant manager, with whom they had a daughter.

“I don’t know how to say this, but I will just say it. I am single again,” read the post on Cindy’s Facebook wall.

The two were engaged, but Cindy ran out of patience. She wanted to walk down the aisle and accused Mario of being over protective, not interested in marriage and being fi ne with cohabiting. Cindy walked out. They went into custody battle for their daughter, which was later won by Mario. Cindy went on to hook up with Ken Muyiisa, who was the boyfriend of local artiste, Phina Mugerwa, aka Masanyalaze.

But even before the year ended, Muyiisa and Cindy were no longer an item. Before meeting Cindy, Ken Muyiisa was in love with singer Mugerwa and the relationship yielded a baby boy. The two are believed to have had a steady relationship before Cindy came into the picture.

Ken took Cindy to South Africa to perform and from there, they allegedly began dating, which made Mugerwa quit. Cindy introduced Muyiisa to her parents, but later dropped him due to fi nancial differences. Rumour has it that Muyiisa and Mugerwa are back together.


Catherine Kusasira and Fred Serugga

 

true


Golden Production’s Fred Serugga and his fiancée Catherine Kusasira broke up (again!) after just less than a year of patching things up. The couple, which was organising an introduction ceremony later last year, split up with Serugga, accusing a one Kiwanuka of snatching his wife.

Kiwanuka is a former security operator who bought Kusasira a new Toyota Harrier, which prompted Serugga, to compose an abusive song, Lengera Zolo (look at a fool). In the song, he abuses the man – presumably Kiwanuka – calling him all sorts of names. The two maintain a mutual understanding, but love completely died out.


Barnabas Tinkasimire and Lynn Mbabazi


The couple developed misunderstandings shortly after their marriage, forcing Mbabazi to move into her parents’ home in Makindye, a Kampala suburb. Mbabazi had complained to her family about threats and harassment by her husband, Tinkasimire, who is the Buyaga County MP. In September last year, she recorded a statement at the Kampala Police Station, over a Toyota Nadia, UAT 762K.

After the statement, she allegedly received threats to her life, which her family linked to Tinkasimire. She later went missing, but was found. The two married in a traditional ceremony in 2012 but separated late last year after marital disputes. Mbabazi’s father later returned the bride price of 25 head of cattle to Tinkasimire.


Ivan Ssemwanga and Zari

 


This couple has three children. We have known them for breaking up and making up every now and then, but their last break up seems to be for real this time. Ssemwanga is a businessman in South Africa. When their love went sour, Zari was linked to many men, most outstanding of them was Farouk Sempala, a security operative.

However, the relationship also ended with allegations of infi delity. The latest guy Zari hooked up with is 25-year-old Tanzanian artiste Diamond Platinums. Pictures of Zari and Diamond kissing went viral online with some saying she is just using him to promote her Ciroc White Party. Ssemwanga seemed unbothered as he went about his business and did not discuss his marriage issues at all.


Kasiwukira and Sarah Nabikolo

In October we woke up to the news of the gruesome murder of Kampala business and estate mogul who was knocked down by a speeding vehicle on his way home from a workout. Condolences were sent to the widow and the whole family.

The Police carried out investigations and it turned out that the grieving widow had something to do about his death; she was arrested and sent to Luzira as she awaits a court hearing.


Desire, Juma and Franklin


Desire Luzinda, surely had it rough in 2014. First, she was at war with Juma Seiko, who claimed to be the father of her daughter, Michelle, which Luzinda denied. She said John Kaddu is the father of her daughter. In the wake of a debt scandal, her Nigerian boyfriend, Franklin Emuobor, allegedly posted her nude photos on his Facebook page.

He allegedly accused Luzinda of being ungrateful to him. He reportedly sponsored her concert at Serena hotel in Kampala. However, Luzinda is said to have referred to Emuobor as a conman, who had self-interests and when he failed to achieve them, chose to revenge.


Phiona Mukasa and Julius Ssekawunde


 


Phiona Mukasa, a gospel artiste, made headlines last year when she divorced her long-term husband, Pastor Godfrey Mukasa and went for a younger man. She wanted an urgent marriage, but the church put conditions that she could not fulfill. Although she was a Born-again Christian, she wanted to wed from a Catholic Church since her young boyfriend was Catholic.

The priests advised her to first settle her divorce with the pastor, whom she accuses of taking advantage of her young age to hurry her into marriage. The two later had a civil marriage and guests had to pay an entrance fee of sh35,000 to attend the reception. She prefers to be addressed as Phionah Wamala to Phionah Mukasa
 

Isabirye and Rebecca Jjingo


Joel Isabirye is a radio consultant while Rebecca Jjingo is a radio presenter. Their introduction ceremony made news when the groom arrived in a chopper at the home of the bride’s parents in Wakiso district. However, less than a year into their marriage, the two had a misunderstanding, with Isabirye allegedly accusing Jingo of stealing sh30m from him.

They also allegedly had incidents of domestic violence, in which Jjingo reportedly attacked Isabirye with a knife. The case was reported at Najjera Police Station. Jingo accused Isabirye of stealing her wedding ring and having affairs outside wedlock. The two now live in separate homes.
