The save Mamuli Katumba fundraising drive will see his friends walk from the National Theatre in Kampala to Ggaba Beach in an effort to call on well wishers to raise money to save the 'kadongokamu' singer's deteriorating health.

According to the organizers of the fundraising drive, politicians, business community, fellow artistes and well-wishers will take part in the fundraising walk where tickets will range between sh10,000 to sh50,000.
