Afternoon rains wreak havoc in Kampala

The Monday afternoon downpour disrupted activities in some areas of Kampala as roads and neighbourhoods were filled with floodwater.

In the suburbs of Nateete and Nalukolongo, many businesses were shut as the floodwaters invaded shops and residential homes.

Residents blame the flooding on narrow drainage facilities in the area which are incapable of handling the volumes of water following downpours.

And try as they may, not everyone could protect themselves against the flooding waters, as Stuart Yiga captured on camera below:
