2. Betty Nambooze

The Mukono Municipality Member of Parliament, Betty Nambooze was announced dead on internet by some ‘evil sites’ in June 2016.

However, the Democratic Party ‘iron lady’ came out to decline the allegations.

In October 2016, a rumour that Africa’s best female comedian Anne Kansiime had died in South Africa arose.

Kansiime said in a Facebook post that rumors started online
prompted many phone calls to her comedy with people concerned about her well-being, but she assured everyone
that there is no need to worry.
4. Sudhir Ruparelia

On Saturday, wide spread rumour hit social media indicating how Uganda’s richest man Sudhir Ruparelia had died.
