Godfrey Jjemba, a 68-Year-Old announcer popular for his “Omugenzi Ekyamusse” statement has become an overnight sensation with Ugandans gifting him loads of items.
Among the gifts he received is an iPhone from Sage buyer earlier on Wednesday. “Ffe nga aba Sage Buyers tusazeewo Mzee Jjemba tumuweeyo iPhone empya yeeyongere okweyagalira ku mutimbagano.” Later on, it was announced that fundraising had begun to buy him a motorcycle and renovate his house.
Mzee Godfrey Jjemba has lit up Twirra more than any one. As UOT we need to give him a token of appreciation. A motorbike, a mobile public address system, anything we can (but not energy drinks). Anyone in?

Someone else also gifted him a full solar system and free airtime on his new phone. Jjemba who is 68 years old became popular on different social media platforms with the “OMUGENZI” meme. He reads announcements on funerals and is a true testament of never giving up on life as long as you are still breathing.
