Ugandans on Twitter (UOT) have attacked Anselm Besigye over his sense of style.
Anselm, a graduate of Harvard University is a son of veteran politician Dr Kizza Besigye and UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima.
The netizens say, Anselm’s fashion sense does not befit or represent the dignity of his parents.
However, sharing photos of Anselm on Twitter, Ms Byanyima, said she thinks her son is gorgeous despite some Ugandans hating his long dreadlocks and clothes.
“Some Ugandans don’t like @akbesigye ‘s long dreadlocks & hate his clothes! 🤷🏽♀️
I think he is gorgeous! I am his mum 😉🥰
Happy new year!” she tweeted on Thursday.

That's where you get the point wrong. Avoid defending your children whenever they are doing wrong. They will regret that at some point in life

Thanks to be a proud parent however, given that freedom, he may never follow the footsteps of either parent. Over pampering of the only kid.

So you want us to accept that God's image is a kind of gay or something like that?

The dreadlocks have no problem, but the gender is questionable

Does it mean he engages in some foreign social practices that clash with the society's morals? Remember, a child belongs to the mother when he is in the womb but the moment he is born, he/she belongs to the society and MUST abide by its norms/morals. @kyakundwa your take?

There is no pressure, am sure he’ll turn out good, Jimmy Akena turned out fine even at a mature age!
