President Kagame and Gen. Muhoozi have maintained a close relationship over the years, reflecting the improving ties between Uganda and Rwanda after years of diplomatic tensions.
Things appear to be easing for Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, with his close associate, Andrew Mwenda, sharing images that offered a rare glimpse into the army chief’s life away from military duties.
Mwenda posted photographs on X showing Gen. Muhoozi enjoying a game of basketball alongside Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame. The photos, which quickly attracted attention on social media, captured the two leaders sharing a light-hearted sporting moment, with Mwenda also present.
The images surprised many Ugandans, as Gen. Muhoozi is rarely seen participating in public sporting activities despite his long-standing military career. While he is best known for his role in national security and regional defence matters, the photos suggested that he also has an interest in basketball.
Mwenda did not disclose where the game took place or when it was played, leaving followers to speculate whether the match was held in Uganda or Rwanda during one of Gen. Muhoozi’s visits.
