The collapsing dance craze called the “malwedhe challenge” took all four corners of the continent by storm which featured people falling down some of which have become extreme cases of people getting serious injuries. But did you know what the song actually means? We have. Broken down below the lyrics of the chorus which prompts the falling.
Makwela Makwela Monada!!!
Nna rena le malwedhe (I have a sickness)
Geo okhe Jola lenna, (if you are dating me)
Okhe raloke kago Nhlala (Don’t play with breaking up with me)
Nna rena le malwedhe (I have a sickness)
Wa nhlala odho tsosa Malwedhe ale khole (if you break up with me, you will bring up hidden sickness from far)
Kena Le Bolwedhe bja go idibala (I have a sickness of collapsing)
Wa nhlala kea idibala (if you break up with me, I collapse)
It is what we would call in Uganda “empewo ze’kika” so while you are enjoying collapsing to this song, donot be surprised if your ancestors attack since you are some way calling upon them.
Since the release of Bobi wine’s “Tuliyambala engule”, there has been alot of controversy surrounding the song and the message.
It’s pastor Wilson bugembe however that’s feeling the heat. Church leaders and fellow pastors have criticized Bugembe’s decision to be part of the song as disrespectful to the church and God.
While appearing for an interview on NTV, Pastor Wison Bugembe expressed his regrets of being part of the song and attributed this move to the little knowledge of what the song was about.
Some pastors like Pastor Male have on the other hand applauded the song and the artists saying this is a great move of taking on politics in the country.

NTV the beat presenter Sheilah Gashumba was recently fired from NTV for absenteeism from work because she was always flying abroad. Well as they say, one man’s meat is anothers poison which is what maybe happening at the moment between the two leading media houses.
Word on the street is that the Kamwokya based NBs maybe eyeing Sheilah to squeeze her somewhere in their programming. We wonder how they will be able to deal with her new found “passion” of taking vacations every other week with her lover(s).
There’s still no word from Sheilah about her firing or probable hiring Because as we may guess she does know how to eat a party.
We will keep you posted.
