The message he called for self preservation to continue with the struggle for Africa&#8217;s freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Below is the full message:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greetings. Day 4 of my corona status, has seen me assault, all day long, 3 load full of government papers. I started at 6:30am (Saa kumi na mbiri, in our African languages, na nusu.) The corona virus, by domesticating me, is helping me to catch up with my paper work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms are more mild than yesterday. In the night, slight throbbing (enkuratima) in the ruhoorahoore area of the head. This is the part of the head that has a gap in children. Also, some slight roughness on the throat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, I am even tempted to do my push-ups, but common sense reminds me not to disturb the bio-chemistry of the body where the war with the enemy (the virus) is going on with additional strains on the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the NRM cadres and followers should continue to understand the importance of robust health. I always avoid factors that can cause ill-health, not because I fear being sick but because I detest missing the struggle for Africa\u2019s freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our grand fathers\u2019 generation (the founders of the ANC of South Africa in 1912, George Padamore, W.B. Dubois, Kabalega, etc.), our fathers\u2019 generation (Nkurumah, Kenyatta, Nyerere, Mandela, etc.), our own generation (Samora Machel, Ngaraang, etc.), our children\u2019s and grandchildren\u2019s generations, are generations of the African anti- colonial resistance for Africa to survive and thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our health is, therefore, a weapon in the fight against imperialism and all Africa\u2019s enemies. You cannot fight when you are sick as well as you can fight when you are healthy. I am not sick in bed, but I have been house- confined, since Wednesday 7th when I had a confirmed corona-positive test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, I missed Heroes Day yesterday, where our daughter Nabbanja did a great job; I could not meet the guests I had invited from UAE and I have cancelled my plan to go to Kisozi tomorrow to supervise the half-yearly de-worming of my cattle. Therefore, health is not only wealth but also part of the weapons of the struggle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afya ni utajiri na vile vile ni chombo cha mapambano ya kimapinduzi (part of the instruments of the revolutionary struggle). Otherwise, the Heroes Day went well. I thank the organizers and the Rt. Hon. Nabbanja. Our People are beginning to get the message of homestead incomes with ekibaro (cuura, aimar). It is dairy in the cattle corridor and coffee in upper Bulemeezi (Semuto etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I thank all the Ugandans that are wishing me a quick recovery. Maama Janet was tested on the 7th evening and all the tests were negative (rapid, PCR, etc.). We thank God for that. We have, therefore, been using different parts of the house ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signed: Yoweri K.
