In a powerful display of community leadership and commitment to youth development, Dhamuzungu Geoffrey, the former Member of Parliament for Budiope East, has called for increased talent development and unity among the youth.
His impassioned plea came during the Ndimugwagwa concert, a vibrant event organized by local music sensation Isima Mbago, popularly known as Pawa Magic, held at Butaswa trading center in Bugaya sub-county, Buyende district.
Addressing a enthusiastic crowd, Dhamuzungu, renowned as the principal for Team TWEYAMBE BEENE, emphasized the critical role of grassroots support in fostering young talent.
He appealed to the public to consistently support their own sons and daughters who emerge with unique talents, asserting that such support, whether financial or moral, is a potent weapon against poverty and a deterrent against negative social habits plaguing the youth.
“It is through our collective support that these young talents can flourish,” Dhamuzungu stated.
“When we invest in their abilities, we are not just investing in an individual; we are investing in a future free from the shackles of poverty and the dangers of idleness.”
Demonstrating his commitment, Dhamuzungu personally extended a tangible gesture of solidarity, handing over Uganda Shillings Five Hundred Thousand to Pawa Magic.
This act served as a clear sign of his dedication to supporting youth talents and encouraging their entrepreneurial spirit.
Beyond community engagement, the former legislator also extended a direct challenge to his fellow politicians.
He urged them to join hands in the active promotion and funding of youth projects across various disciplines, including football, netball, athletics, music, dance, and drama.
His call highlights the need for a collaborative approach between leaders and the community to create sustainable pathways for youth empowerment.
Dhamuzungu was flanked by Mbiira Mugabi Eric, the NRM Chairman for Kamuli Municipality, who echoed similar sentiments.
Mugabi also urged the community to embrace hard work as a cornerstone for a brighter future. He too demonstrated his commitment by contributing Uganda Shillings One Million to Pawa Magic, further solidifying the message of leadership support for local talent.
The Ndimugwagwa concert served not only as an entertainment hub but also as a platform for a crucial discussion on youth empowerment and the collective responsibility of the community and its leaders in nurturing the next generation.
The appeals from Dhamuzungu and Mbiira Mugabi underscore a growing recognition of the untapped potential within Uganda’s youth and the urgent need for strategic investment in their talents for national development.
