Club Guvnor has been sold, signaling the close of a pivotal chapter in Uganda’s entertainment scene.

The iconic nightclub, which once hosted legendary moments like the debut of 2Pac’s “California Love” in the country, changed ownership effective November 30, 2024.

Founded by Charlie Lubega in 1986, the club quickly became a cultural institution, shaping Kampala’s nightlife and earning a reputation as the city’s most prominent disco venue.

Charlie Lubega, who has remained the face of the club since its inception, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the patrons who supported his vision for so many years.

“I thank you so much for the support over the years. For the support of a dream that started in 1986,” said Lubega, taking a final turn at the DJ booth, where he had last spun records 32 years ago.

While Lubega did not reveal specific reasons for selling, the challenges facing the nightclub industry, both in Uganda and globally, are well-known.

The rise of more intimate local venues and shifting tastes in nightlife have led to the decline of traditional clubs.

Rapper Recho Rey Breaks Norms: ‘Marriage and Kids Aren’t Part of My Journey’”

Local female rapper Mirembe Rachel, known as Recho Rey, has committed to never becoming pregnant or having children.

In a recent interview on a local radio show, the artist expressed that marriage does not appeal to her at all.

She feels the same way about having children. Recho Rey shared that she has never experienced any maternal instincts. While she wishes well for and respects all mothers, it is not something she has ever considered. She also mentioned that people have often told her she will eventually change her mind, but as she gets older, the idea becomes even less appealing to her.

“Honestly, I don’t see myself ever getting married because it’s not in my plans. I have no desire for it. It’s the same when someone asks if I’ll have kids. To be truthful, I have never had any nurturing instincts since I was young. I admire and respect those who choose to become parents, but it’s simply not something that interests me. Many people have suggested that I will outgrow this feeling, but the more I mature, the less attractive it seems to me,” she stated.

However, social media users quickly pointed out that fellow artist Sheebah Karungi shares a similar mindset, despite currently being a mother of one and often declaring that motherhood is the best gift she has ever received.

As a result, many believe it is only a matter of time before Recho Rey finds herself in a similar situation and looks back without regret.
