hi - I'm reposting a request for any info/photos/stories about the Kampala Club (also known as Top Club) in Kampala. We celebrated the centenary in August 2011 and I'm working on a history of the Club from info we have collected but would love more stories and photos. Please post here or contact me on harrietm.fowler@gmail.com. Someone called Alan replied last year and said he thought his parents had photos but then did not post any more. thanks

It was nice to see photos of Kampala. I lived in Kampala from 1959 to 1969. I started my schooling at Shimoni, then at Nakivubo ( my dad was a teacher in this school ) I did my O levels at Old Kampala Secondry, then moved to UK to continue my studies. I revisted Uganda in 2006, but never found it the same. Our house in Old Kampala still stands. I became very emotional when I saw our house, not too far from the famous Aga Khan mosque in old Kampala. I have lived in UK since 1969 and still miss Uganda very much. I got married and my wife came to UK in 1967 from Nairobi, Kenya. I would love to hear from anyone who knows me and would like to share our stories. My name is Ashok Sharma and email address is hatari009@hotmail.com

Shuni		25-Feb-2012 21:31
I'm piecing together my parents lives (particular my dad who past away 12 years ago) and their life in Kampala. I too was born in Kampala but we left when I was only 18months old so I have no memories of these idyllic times that my mum and brothers and sisters talk about. My dad was Ying Chan and he owned the Canton Restaurant during in the 1960s. Anything information about that time and my family would be great. Thank you

Naushad Habib Mohamed Hi all good to share good old memories of Uganda. I was born in Mbarara. and went to Agakhan Secondary school in Masaka. Prebco@yahoo.com

Geoffrey Kihuguru		07-Nov-2011 14:22
@Barbara, very interesting, I joined Agakhan Primary a couple of years after you, in 1968, and have fond memories fo Mrs. Jinna and of course the indomitable Mr. Hinchcliff. I know that marion Kabali Kagwa is here in kampala, and I could hook you up with her address. I grew up in the same year with her brother, Victor, who was then at Kitante (or was that Nakasero)? Very fond memories here....

Jeff Green		23-Oct-2011 15:22
Having lived in Kampala 1968-1970 it was very nice to see the photographs, and to see Michael Hendrie's comment as I worked with his father at the Ottoman Bank. I am still in contact with musical friends from all those years ago - the Kampala Jazz Club (Francis Fernandes now of Vancouver; Terry Sythes who taught French in Kampala for years)and Development Bank officer Rainer Lotz; Danish volunteer Henning Lorenzen). My interest in African history followed my years in Uganda - take a look at jeffreygreen.co.uk . Be good! Jeffrey Green, West Sussex, England October 2011

Barbara		25-Sep-2011 17:04
Hi, I am Barbara Mayanja, and I joined Aga Khan Primary from Aga Khan Nursery in 1966. I remember my older sisters taking about Mr. Dixsit. But I found Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Hinchcliff, Mrs. Mascarenas, Mrs. Devji , Mr. Ramji , and Ms Lutwama (one of the few African teachers) at the school. I have a photo of P5E taken in 1969 and my classmates where Bilkish Sundrani (father worked with the sports fraternity), Shahnaz Huddah (Stayed near the school?), Shahnaz Alibali (Alibahi�s Garage), Nashrine Jaffer (Jeffries Ice Cream and Park Hotel), Shyrose (?), Umeshafiq Bandali Jaffer, Nimet (Jaffer?), Marion Kabali-Kaggwa, and Mr. Jinnah and Mr. Ramji�s daughters. Then among the boys was Fred Walter, a boy whose family had a large furniture shop on Kampala Road and he stayed in a house opposite Jamat Khana, ( grey Peugeot pickup used to drop and pick him and other family members from school),a boy called Najib, and another boy whose family name was Bawa Singh. Then another boy was born in Bugerere and he was fluent in Luganda. Also I remember a Zulfikar, and Mark Hartman (had a sister called Sarah and a brother called Lee),who came while in P6. Anybody still there, I would love to hear from you.

Hi - I lived in Entebbe from 1957 - 1964 but my Dad Michael Davies stayed on to run the civil service college in Kampala until he had to leave in a hurry in about 1973 leaving everything behind due to a serious threat from Amin. I would love to go back there one day although I'm sure I wouldn't recognise much.

Marble Magezi		22-Jul-2011 16:31
Its great to hear those names ring in your ears! I was at Nakasero from 1963 and I would love to meet some of my teachers again. Mr. Short, Mr. Lacey ................ What a reunion that would be. Nakasero Primary is no longer the same since and maybe we could do something about it? I now live in England with my two children and would like to get intouch with my former school mates and teachers

Hi I went back to visit Kampala a few years ago. We lived there from 1967-70 on Pool Road at Makerere where my father was in the botany deparment. I was in the 1st year of primary at Kitante with Mrs Kille(?). Only in England now but I love the light of uganda that you can see in these photos

Jeffrey McKerrow		04-Apr-2011 17:22
Hi All!What a Wonderful site! I grew up in Kampala where I lived from 1951 till 1958.I studied at The European Primary School (presumably the Nakasero Primary!) and left Uganda in Dec'58 for Secondary School education in India at La Martiniere College, Lucknow. I joined the Indian Airforce as a fighter pilot thereafter and never could return to Uganda! but how I long to go there!! I do remember Mr Bartlett and Mr Lacey and how as a Prefect ,I was demoted for some misdeamour,but was subsequently re-instated for good behaviour!! I have wonderful memories as a Boy Scout and the camps we would go to and collecting tadpoles from the stream that ran thru Kitante valley.We first lived on Kololo hill then Makarere Hill and I vividly remember Makarere College and the Rubaga cathedral! I still live in Mumbai and one day as MacArthur said "I shall return!"-Kampala I Love U!!

Alan		03-Apr-2011 11:43
Harriet Fowler....was the Kampala Club sometimes referred to as the "Top Club" (as it was at the top of the hill)? If so I should have some photos - probably of groups of people from the period around 1955 - 1962 - that my parents took.

Shaun Sexton		24-Mar-2011 02:10
Hi, Im Shaun Sexton,I was at Victoria Nile School,Jinja, from 1958 till 1963. can`t remember much,except cutting my forehead open on first day of school. The windows opened onto the corridors.We were out of the army camp.we were taken to school in 3ton Bedford trucks.

Guest		16-Mar-2011 13:04
Hello All, My name is Nur-Begum Karim and I am from Kampala too. I left in 1966 to move to London, England. My late parents were Hassan and Gulshan Karim. My father was the Secretary of the Aga Khan Education Board, Kampala, and served under various Administrators being Jimmy Verjee, Ameer Ishani and P.K. Pirani. My late mother taught at the Aga Khan Primary School from 1954 to 1960. I have lived in London UK ever since but cherish the memories I have of Kampala and my idyllic childhood there. I attended both the Aga Khan Nursery and Primary Schools until 1966. I recall Mr Jinnah (the AKPS Caretaker) and his family, Mr Sharp was the Headmaster (anyone know whatever happened to him or where his family now live ?), my teachers were Mrs Ruby Pereira, Miss Malek I.V. Jamal and others whose names I cannot recall. My AKPS friends with whom I am still in touch are Umeeda Umedaly (her mother taught at AKNS and Nakasero school) and Zabina Motani (now Mrs Dossa). Others whom I am also in contact with are: Lorraine Pereira (Mrs Pereira's youngest) and Jameela Siddiqi (younger daughter to Mr Siddiqi who taught English Literature at AKPS). My family and I lived in the Teachers Quarters (ie: the three apartment blocks) which were opposite the Aga Khan Primary and Secondary Schools with the Nursery and Aga Khan Boys Hostel on either side. Would love to make contact with anyone whoh remembers me. My email is: nur_begum_karim@hotmail.com If Genevive McCourt could contact me I would be very pleased even though she will not know who I am as she was probably Jameela Siddiqi's peer ... I think. This is a wonderful site and happy to hear from anyone who knew my late parents or me. All the best, Nur-Begum (Hassan) Karim London - UK

Senyonga kasim		02-Feb-2011 15:26
Hi it's great adventure to have the map of Kampala online, thanks for being creative to that extent. However I am amazed to see that few Ugandans have posted comments.This makes me worried of ugandans on the level of use e-resources, again confirming the saying that if you want to hide something from Africans, put it in writing. We can also add this; put it on the Electronic Information Technologies. I have liked it, continue please.

Long live Kampala city.

Rosemary Scadden		20-Dec-2010 14:17
I lived in Kampala from 1965 to 1968 and taught at Kitante boys school and then at Old Kamapla Senior Sec, years 1 & 2. I am currently scanning my old slides onto my computer, so am immersed in images of Uganda, and it is snowing outside here in Cardiff. I was a member of KATs and was glad to see the National Theatre still standing. I read all the comments and was moved by those who were forcibly expelled, they gave the UK a great economic boost eventually. It's taken me years to look at these slides as I just think of the horrors that the madman caused. I'm impreesed by the survivors' courage.

Hello, thanks for posting these photos online. I only attended Sunday School at Nakasero Primary (crusader class)1968-69. We rode with Quintin Carrs family every now and then after Sunday school. My brother James Oda (Kololo Senior Secondary School, Sister Margaret Oyim, Later Old Kampala Senior and myself later Kololo High School. Although I live in Kenya presently, I have not gone back to Uganda since 1978, seeing the picture of Christ the King church just brought tears to my eyes. I am American. I do remember those tumultous days of living in Uganda under Idi Amin's rule, never should this allowed to happen again. Uganda remains dear in my heart.

For Miss Enid Swift - if you look in on this site again. My name is Mark Burton and I was at Nakasero from '65-'69. You knew my parents John & Joan and I remember coming to a drinks party at your flat with them once. You were what my children today would describe as a 'Legend' - none of us have forgotten you and we all wish you well. All the staff at Nakasero were great characters, it was a wonderful school.

Hi Jane, thanks for your note and email address. I have written and hope to get in touch with Timothy. I realise I hadn't left my email address, so here it is: datoran@hotmail.com, for those who remember me, please get in touch. I'm just back from a trip overseas and managed to visit Uganda for a week. Amazing how the place is so much the same as in the pictures here. Not much has changed, save for some bigger pothles in the roads and even more traffic and congestion. Still, it brought back waves of memories!! Cheers, David Torr

Dear All, Just returned from Kampala Uganda and wish to share that (before 1972) Asian era is now taught as a history subject in schools as I was informed by one Ugandan school going boy who asked me a hundred questions about the expelled Asians and I was too obliged to answer while noticing his changing face with every question.What a memory!!!!!!!!!

Hello, my name is Hannah Nixon and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Manchester. For my dissertation I am exploring the themes of Identity, belonging and citizenship of Ugandan Asians and what these notions mean for individuals after emigrating to the UK. I was wandering if anyone would be willing to answer some questions about identity and belonging? Any help would be greatly appreciated and all answers will be kept anonymous. If anyone would like to participate please could you send me a quick reply to my email address which is hannah.nixon-2@student.manchester.ac.uk. Thank you very much, Hannah

Thanks for the lovely photos, very evocative of happy times as a teenager 67-72 - Dad was manager of Ottoman and then Grindlays - what a privilege to be brought up in such a place. Many memories, all good until the darkness came with Amin. Good luck to any old friends.

I went to Norman Godinho School in Kampala and in 1958 went to KTI Kyambogo. Lost touch with all the students and colleagues when I went to the UK to University in 1965. Now living in Ontario Canada and keen to talk with those who studied with me many many years ago

Immy Wamimbi		06-Feb-2010 06:24
I am a Ugandan Canadian now living in Toronto. My home is in Mbale. I studied in Mount St Mary's Namagunga where I was also headgirl in 1970 before I went to Makerere University where I studied English and French. After 1972 I lost track of many classmates and dear friends of Asian origin including Bella, Miranda, Yasmin, Jesse who I briefly met in Mombasa a few years later, Lilian, the Mathematician and artist, Ingrid, and many many others especially my classmates in the first year French class at Makerere. I would love to make contact. I would also love to make contact with Dr. Patel (when I met him in 1972 he was a medical student in Nigeria) I met him at Ibadan University where I had gone for a WUS conference in August 1972. His parents lived in Toronto and I met them at their home very briefly shortly before they left Uganda. It would be great if I could connect with them too. Immy Wamimbi

Immy wamimbi		06-Feb-2010 05:45
When I was a student at Makerere University (1971-1974) I worked as a part-time reporter for Uganda Argus. It seems you were there at the same time but we may not have crossed paths. The editor was "Mr. Woods" and we had a British Sub-editor whose name I forget. I usually stayed up in the reporters' room and hardly went down to Administration. Some of the reporters were Joshua Brave, Rebecca, Chris, Betty etc. and photographers such as the late Palmer. I reported some amazing live events, for example one Saturday at the Police College near Kibuli when Idi Amin was supposed to preside over graduation but started by announcing the banning of mini skirts, which sort of threw the city in Chaos as some unscrupulous individuals started harassing women who were in dresses that day. For me the graduation became insignificant. (With Joshua Brave)I also reported the proceedings of the East African Parliament I think in 1972, and I wront numerous feature articles. I now live in Canada. I, too, would love to know where all the people at. I also wish there were microfilms where we could access the articles we wrote online. Immy Wamimbi

Born Nakasero Hospital 1948. Went to Nakasero Primary 1955-60 before that long train journey to Nairobi and St Mary's school. I've forgotten so many names but would love to see any school photos from around that time. If anyone would like to see some photos of me then go to www.the-inward-adventure.co.uk. A few years out of date but close enough! Wow!! So many buried memories have been brought to the surface with these wonderful photos and reading the comments of others who have lived there to. Amazing to know that some of the people on here were at Nakasero Primary with me. Memories of visiting Mr Lacey in his office and the infamous tacky!! I have hundreds of photos somewhere so must dig them out.

Thank you very much for the photos. I was born in kampala and lived there till 1972. I went there in 2005 and took many photos and video on my cam. My father worked in Standard Bank and my mother at the Development house. I studied in Shimoni Primary school. Shimoni school is now demolished, but everything seems to be there......only time has changed. Namugongo visit was nostalgic as Pope Paul VI visited Kampala in 1969, and we went for mass. My childhood experience especially at Universal house where all Indians lived there fantastic, where we used to have kite competition with the neighbouring buildings. We used to coat the thread with a paste with glass pieces so as to bring down kites from the neighbouring buildings. It was a nice competition. LAter on we lived in, now, the JUMBO house, which was opposite the "Fresh food" market, now, Nandoo's restaurant. We are Mangaloreans, who went back to India and are now in the Gulf and USA. I would be happy to share photos. My email is alwyn26@hotmail.com My name is Alwyn Santhumayor, Son of Late Charles Santhamyor and Dulcine Santhumayor. Kwa Heri.

Prior to that, father worked at Radio Uganda on (Bugalobe?). Went to Nakasero for a short while. These pictures bring back some good memories and glad to see that some of the buildings I remember are still around. Like meeting up at the Grand Hotel as teenagers!

My family lived in Kampala for 7 years until 1966. I went to Nakesero Primary. It was very strict. I remember one of the teachers used to hit us on the thighs if we got spellings wrong. My spelling improved very quickly! My parents worked for Makerere University. I remember reciting times tables daily and learning to read in the school. Very beautiful country. Would love to revisit sometime.

HI, I have just found this wonderful site. I am trying to gather as much info as possible about Uganda during the 70's under the reign of Idi Amin as I am trying to write a book right now and there is a lot in it about that time. I live in Scotland. My late brother was Frankie Marsh. He was Ugandan but was adopted by my family in 1968. His name was Francis Kaggwa Wivugera. His father was Gideon Kaggwa and his mother Janet wivugera.She was a teacher in Uganada although I don't know where. I am interested in personal stories of the time and anyone who may have escaped across Busia to Kenya. if anyone can talk to me about their memories I would be so grateful for your time and if anyone knows anything about Janet in particular that would be wonderful. Many thanks and thanks for sharing Michaela

My name was Jane Arey . We lived in Kampala from 1970 to Christmas 1972. I went to Kitanti Primary School but lived on Namirembi Hill near the Anglican Cathedral. My father was a Doctor at Mulago Hospital. I learnt to swim in the pool at the Grand Hotel and Makerere University with Mr Smith but have many fond memories of afternoon swimming at the Apollo. My parents were active in KATS and Theatre Group especially the pantomimes, the Merry Widow and the Boy Friend all performed at the National Theatre. The photos have brought back many happy memories for both myself and my Dad and it is wonderful to read everyones posts and see that others are still like us touched by a place and its people after so many years of not being there.

Hi Every one.My name is Abdulmajeed Karama and I was born in Masaka and I had my studies in Masaka Agakan Secondary school until 1970. It was the best days of my life there until I moved to rwanda then Yemen.Seeing these photos want to make me cry. I reember those wounderful days of my life with very nice people who served me and respected me all my entire life there. They are gifted people in a gifted land. Even if they had nothing to give you, they still had their open hearts to give. Sometimes as I look back to the hardship they are facing I wish I could go back and pay back their kindness and respect and change their way of life to a better one.My thanks to all Ugandans. You will always be on my mind and to my ART teacher Miss Ruth Franklin.

Hi Brian I was at Nakasero primary school fromn1il 1962. Started in the nursery and progressed through the infants to the primary school. Sat the K.P.E and passed,was really looking forward to going to boarding school in Kenya when my father announced we would be returning to the UK. Leaving Kampala via the railway station in December 1962 , i made a promise to myself and Kampala that I would return one day. Hopefully I will be returning with my two sons who have been raised on what a beautiful country Uganda is and what a wonderful childhood I enjoyed there. Would love to hear from any old school friends or teachers who might remember me. My name then was Anna Batham, my father worked in the tax office and my mother worked for the BBC. Names I remember, Esther Mukuwye, Wawse and Kato Lule, Miss Dixon, Mr Bartlett, Mr Ellis, Sally Ellis -Jones whom I met up with again in 1969 at Charing Cross hospital. How I regret not taking more photos at the time. Yours have reminded me so much of what I have yearned for. "Oh Uganda thy people praise thee"

Hello ex-Nakasero (and Aga Khan SS). I was at Nakasero from 1967 to 1969 and Aga Khan 1970-71. I have been in contact with Kwame Rubadiri and Alnasir Karim from this time. Others I recall - Michael Lord (related to Cathy mentioned below?), Steve Jones, Michael Truscott, Cathy Jones, Mary Saldhana, Bruce McDowell (I lost touch after I got married in the 80s), Imelda McCourt,... As with others, very fond memories of that time and place. (Even if I do recall the alternative use of a tacky from personal experience!

Hello to all who were at Nakasero 1967-1969, I was there from age 5+ to 7 and remember our time in Kampala with great fondness. I still have two old school reports from my time at Nakasero. My Dad (David Saxby) used to read the 6 o'clock evening news on Uganda radio. We lived on Stanley Road, it was super time, especially for kids growing up there then. All the best to you all, cheers,Chris Saxby

We lived in Kampala from 1963 - 1965, and attended Nakasero during those years (I was in 6th & 7th grade; my siblings are younger). My father worked at Makere, and we lived on Kololo Terrace. I too recall Mr. Lacey, and the green & white uniforms. The pictures are wonderful, and bring back so many memories.

Re. Nakasero Primary School. I was in Kampala from 1964 - 1968, and went to this school. I think I remember Miss Hope, and I certainly remember Mr. Lacey - we called him Mr. Tacky - after the plimsolls that we used to wear, and were used for alternative purposes (I believe). I returned to the UK to a place called Cottingham in East Yorkshire. Imagine my surprise when we say Mr. Lacey walking down the street. He had moved to the UK sometime after us, and now lived in a small village nearby. What a small world! I can still remember some of the words to the Christmas play that I was in. I was King Herod's Herald. I've been messing with Google maps to remind myself about what I did and where. There's not much, but have a look at http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105454635627442409264.00044292005fb0334d117&t=h&z=13 if you are interested. If anyone can give me the lat/log of the school, I'll add it. Best wishes to all. Anthony Rogers.

Oh what memories of Uganda! I was a Canadian Teacher at Masaka SS School from August 1967-December 1972 initially, then the school was amalgamated with the AgaKhan SS School.I taught Science. I do not think a day passes without thoughts of Uganada and my cherished visions and experiences.I am still in touch with a few former teachers at the school via e-mail,namely from Denmark,Scotland,UK,Norway,and Canada.I lived on Bwala Hill and would love to try and connect with a couple of former students who lived in my quarters, namely Josam Kabasheki and John Mwetessi,who I understand bacame teachers in and around Mbarara Primary Schools.John was from Kigesi.I sincerely hope those who had to leave Uganda during the reign of terror under Idi Amin have made a successful new life wherever you are.John Halani, who owned a grocer and meat shop in Masaka was nominated as one of Canadas top 25 immigrants. He now resides in Vancouver. I wish everyone well.

Great pictures - looks like there are a lot of ex-pupils from Nakasero Primary School - I was there from 1960-1966 and have very fond memories of the school, but do remember it being very strict indeed - does anyone remember the formidable Mr. Lacey? Miss Hope? Miss Vase? Would love to see some pictures of the school and more of Old Kampala.

I went to Nakasero Primary School from 1966 until 1970 - then was taught at home on Kyambogo Hill for 2 years. Left in November 1972 - the saddest day of my life. I have never been able to feel at home in the UK, people here worry about such trivial things. Am hoping to visit Uganda later this year with my children - then maybe one day.....

Guest		08-Mar-2009 19:01
My name is Mark Buton. Fantastic pictures - thank you for the memories! I attended Nakasero Pimary School 1965 - 1969. We lived for a while at Lubowa then Mackinnon Road. Found our house on Google Earth - looks exactly the same as we left it! Remember so much about this beautiful country and plan to go back before too long. Great to see others here who share a love for Uganda.

Talib		21-Feb-2009 21:18
Hello Rozmin, you might also try 'searching' for your former friends on facebook.com. I'm sure some of your friends or their children or their relatives are on it. You might be lucky if you already know your friends' brothers and sisters. I notice your are in Canada and most likely the people you are looking for are in UK. Good luck!

Hello everyone, I had no idea so many of us went to Nakasero Primary and still remember it all!. I went there approx 1964-66 as I then was sent to Britain to Boparding school at the old age of 7years. I'm not sure of peoples names, I remember what they looked like and the strict lady teacher with blonde hair whop always got my name wrong. I'm in Britain now. Was Mr Cheemo there when I was? was he the slim one who smiled and was kind to us confused pupils?.

Great photos. Krazy Kampala has changed a lot. Lived in Uganda in the late '90s, returned in 2001 and again in 2008. Things have improved or modernized much but the air quality and traffic congestion are reducing its attraction. Hopefully the political leaders can address these issues before Kampala becomes unattractive.

Rose Nampiima		15-Dec-2008 12:19
To all those hurting departed Asians that were living in Uganda during the times of Idi Amin I extend my sincere apologies. But it is better you left alive because the years that followed were really bloody! But thank God that,s History now! Idi Amin died, and Uganda is safe and peaceful now. You can visit any time!!

Dear All, I went to Lake Victoria Primary School 1966-1972 and all my teachers were from the UK. I now head an organization that is Uk funded and one of the areas is Reading for Pleasure in primary schools. Any of you of that generation know we had about the best teachers one could ever get. If any of you knows of teachers who worked in Uganda at that time ask them to visit our website www.katutandike.org or get in touch at xtinesemambo@yahoo.co.uk

I was born in Kampala in 1950 from Italian parents and went to Nakasero Primary School. My teacher was Mr. Cheeney...Reading through the other peoples' comments I came across one that was written by his son/daughter!!!.... I would love to know more about my old teacher and see a picture of him as I unfortunately have non.

Jasvir Jutla		24-Sep-2008 20:37
I must say that i echo the comments of Bipin Joshi. I have been living in the UK now for some 35 years, having left Uganda in 1972. I attended East Kololo primary School and lived on Bukoto Street in Kololo. I ache over memories of the school and over Kampala as a whole. It has been wonderful to note like sentiments expressed here. It amazes me how many are out there who have been so profoundly touched by their upbringing in Uganda. Often is the case that i think back on what was a relatively a short but infinitely significant part of my life. At times when overwhelmed by the stressful nature of our current existence it is not uncommon for me to reflect on those far off sunny days in Kampala. I would love to hear from those from East Kololo Primary School given that no matter how much i research on the net i still cannot trace any photos of the school.

I was born in Uganda in 1952 at Nasambya Hospital. I left Uganda in 1967. During my childhood in Uganda I spent first few years approximately 5 years in Bombo. Than we came to Uganda. Our house was located on William Street near Rahim House. I went to Shimoni Primary School and Kololo Senior Secondary School. I finished my S.S. I and S.S. II at Kololo Senior Secondary School before I migrated out of Uganda. The pictures presented here are excellent and hope there pictures for Shimoni Primary School and Kololo Senior Secondary School.

I was born in Kampala in 1965, in Mengo Hospital. I haven't been back since we left in 1967 and don't remember anything of it, however my parents made several cine films of it so I can 'revisit' those times. My father was a teacher at Nakasero Primary School.. I would be interested if anyone remembers him - Mr Eric Cheeney. I have a facebook group dedicated to his memory.. anyone is welcome to join it!

I lived in Uganda for 2 years 1970 to 1972. Although we left when I was 10 years old, I have fantastic memories of an idyllic 2 years. I went to Nakasero school with my brother Timothy. Mr Matovu was my fantastic maths teacher. We lived on Mboya Hill, my dad worked for East African Post and Telephones and my mum at Pinetree nursery school. We used to swim at entebbe club most weekends while dad played golf. memories of buying huge bananas on the way home along the Entebbe Rd.So many wonderful memories but so sad when I returned in 2002 for a holiday. nakasero school was very different and my treasured memories were slightly dented.Uganda was truly the Pearl of Africa and started me on a life of travel, I am now in dubai. I would love to hear from anybody who was at nakasero at that time.

Girish Karkhanis		09-Jan-2008 06:19
The pearl of Africa in our hearts. Mom was born at Nakasero Hospital in 1933 before it became a TV Station. Dad taught International Law and Taxation at Uganda College of Commerce. We lived at Bukoto Estates until 1969 (behind the police station) at the end of Kira Road, and walked to Kololo High School. Three generations of the Chitnavis family contributed to the development of Uganda and East Africa in peace and harmony. Many friends and family now spread all over the world. Uganda gave us some of the best memories of our lives.

Jeff Klaus		13-Dec-2007 02:48
I lived at Makere during the early 1970's as a child...actually met Idi Amin when he visited and "lectured"...we couldn't mention the name of Milton Obote' in public for fear of being overheard and reported...I attended the Lincoln School with lots of Americans but my best memories are of our dear friends the Wandera family (Barnabas, Benedict, Mary)...we spent hours at the university pool and each week would go to a drive-in movie theater in the outskirts of town, don't know exactly where it was....I recall a Cashco grocery store and a Wimpy's burger shop downtown on Kampala Rd....Still can taste Orange squash!

Shailesh Doshi		02-Dec-2007 17:20

Nice to see photos of Uganda. It's almost like living there again. I was born in Hoima. Would love to see some photos of Hoima.

SAM		19-Nov-2007 13:19
I was just a kid when Amin's madness dawned on the country. The evening the expulsion of Asians was anounced my visiting illiterate grandmother made the fololwing lament which I remember very well. She mournfully said;(translation to follow) "Amin agobye abayindi?! tuja kulira amaziga mazibu! Abalesiza ebintu byabwe byebekolera?! Uganda ya kubonabonera emyaka 15".Trans. "Amin has expelled the Asians?! We shall shed untold tears; depriving them of the products of their sweat?! Uganda will suffer torment for 15 years!" How prophetic! 1972 - 1986,well, almost. We grew up not knowing the taste of even basics such as sugar, salt,butter e.t.c Knew nothing of security, peace, human rights, progress e.t.c. We payed the price; both the expelled ones and the indegenous. I now live in S.A.

Susie		10-Nov-2007 13:05
I was also born in Kampala in 1953 and went to Nakasero School. So many memories of this beautiful place -it is amazing to see these photos - things are looking good. I can remember quite a bit about the school Mr Bartlett headmaster, Miss Lease, Mr Heathcote, and scary Mrs Campion! We lived for a time in Kintu Road and then The Ridgeway on Kololo Hill. Somewhere buried I still have many photos of Kampala at this time. Would be great to hear from anyone who was there then. My name then was Susan Scarisbrick and my farther worked for Uganda Electricity Board in Amber House

Kampala and Uganda in general is an extremely nice place with hospitable people. You should come and see for youself. The scenery, tropical animals and many other features.

Going through this site,I was woundering if we can come up with a group, say on Yahoo of expelled asians born in Uganda. Let me have your comments/suggestion and I can setup the group.

Brings back happy memories but sad to see no photos of the outskirts of Kampala - kololo, shimoni, old kampala.

Everyone has commented about how great the photos are but for those of us who were born and lived in uganda upto 1973, it is where we have our childhood memories.No matter where you are,you cannot help but be drawn back to a place that holds so much of what is precious in your hearts.We may have lost our parents,maybe family members now live in different parts of the world and our firnds and neighbours have moved on. However, when we see these pictures, you get this overwheming feeling of living thos days again and surely that is priceless? I think it is!!

Wonderful photos, great memeories. I was born in Kampala 1953 and went to school at Nakasero Primary. I lived in Nakasero Road and later Elgon Terrace on Kololo. I have been back August 07 to show my wife and daughter my childhood haunts. Stayed at the Speke Hotel. Very emotive. Such a beautiful country, friendly people. Lot of development which gives hope for the future. Live in UK now.

Buganda is truly beautiful and Lush Green. It's Gods Country! If God wanted to live on this Planet He would live along the River Nile in Uganda. I miss the paradise! All readers please google on SIPI Falls, Uganda "Weraba!"

It was great to see some photos of the Uganda I left in '69. Would love to see photos of Nakasero Primary School, Namirembe Cathedral, and speak to anyone who was there in the late 60's (are there any of us left?). My dad was part of Mowlems Construction Co, and my mum worked at Makerere, and we lived in Impala Avenue, Kampala.

This is really cool, my parents always speak of their fond memories while living in Uganda. I hope to see it in person some day.

Good pictures. Brings back some memories. Although can not identify all the places. My favourites & identifiable are National Theatre and the Stadium both where i had the privilege to perform. I would have loved to see Old Kampala Secondary School. Great effort. Many thanks. Divya.

It was wonderful to see these photos of Kampala - they really bring back memories of the past but I would have also liked to see photos of Kyambogo, Lugogo, Kololo - etc. Thank you. Great job. Daksha Parikh

Since my last visit it appears substantial improvements have happened in the Capital, in particular the Buildings, taxi market still appears as i remember it, like the BOGA Market! Good photos-I (Naresh) studied at old kampala school 1968-1971. prior to that: Nakivubo Primary

Great to view photographs of Kampala.Brings back lots of sweet memories.I am disappointed that you have concentrated only on Kampala main buildings. It would have been nice to also include Lugogo, Makerere Universiaty, Kololo etc photos, which is part of Kampala. Look forward to seeing more pictures in future.

Great photos! I'm using a few in a presentation I'm making about Uganda in my business school in Los Angeles, California, USA. I've credited you, no worries! Cheers.

The photo you mention Bahai temple is NOT correct. This photo is of Agakhan Ismaili Mosque on Namirembe Road, Kampala.
