ZULU KINGDOM GOES DOWN

Zulu kingdom left with leadership vacuum as it’s queen dies at 65.

Questions still hanging in the air whether the queen was poisoned or not? The Zulu queen Mantfombi Shiyiwe MaDlamini Zulu died a month after being appointed to the role on 24th March.

However, her appointment to the throne was due to the death of dear husband king Good Will Zwelithini who died in the hospital from diabetes related complications.

The King ruled the Kingdom for over 50 years. This made him the longest serving Africa’s Monarch.

The Queen served as the great wife to the king, if not, the most beloved wife amongst the King’s wives.

Since she came from Royalty, she was the sister to the Eswatini King Mswati iii. Africa’s only absolute monarch. This means that the kingdom owns it’s full powers and is not restricted by laws or custom.

The Queen had eight children of whom 5 are boys and the rest girls. The first son is 47 years known as Prince MisuZulu whom all the eyes are on him to take on the throne.

Zulu king dom is not just a kingdom but the largest monarch with more than 10 million people in South Africa, who are estimated to pay a yearly tax of funded budget of more than $4.9.

Lately, on the national broadcaster SABC, Prince Mangosathe Bathelezi said that the queen was poisoned and been sick for two years.

The prince later assured the Zulu natives that there will be no leadership vacuum in the Zulu nation.

STRIKE IN COLOMBIA

COLOMBIANS STRIKES ON THE STREETS TO OPPOSE THE NEW TAX REFORMS.

A massive number of people in Colombia have been on the streets marching in the country’s major cities of Bogota, Medellin, and Barranquilla against the proposed tax reform.

Demonstrators have clashed with the police and so far one person has been reported dead during the strike.

However, the government says that the reform is the key to mitigating the economic crisis that the country is in so far.

Lately, the finance minister of Columbia underestimated the cost of a dozen of eggs. This frustrated the indigenous people who can not afford the cost . The indigenous people took the issue seriously thus boosting demonstration in Columbia.

Colombia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) dropped by 6.8% last year. It’s the greatest and deepest crash in half a century. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic has further increased the unemployment rate.

Colombia has the lowest tax revenue compared to other countries in the organisation for economic development(OECD) in 2019. It collected 20% of the GDP taxes.

The president of Columbia Ivan Dugue argues that” the time has come to increase the taxes collected. It is to cover its spending” the president wants to impose a tax on people earning more than $656 a month which is about 2,447,200 Ug shillings.

He also wants to impose a tax on basic services in the upper-middle class and on the funeral with the prospect to raise $6.3 in ten years.

The new reforms would eliminate several current exemptions enjoyed by people. This will also increase the taxes imposed on businesses. The value-added Items will also increase on many items.

The protests were highly organised by trade unions but later joined by the middle-class people, indigenous groups and artists who marched on different streets.

People of Colombia are afraid that if these reforms are imposed, many Colombians will die poor If not hungry.

Currently, Uganda has also proposed 12 new tax reforms on 2nd April 2021 which includes.

1️⃣ The Traffic and Road Safety Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021
2️⃣ The Fish (Amendment) Bill, 2021
3️⃣ Mining (Amendment) Bill, 2021

5️⃣ The Excise Duty (Amendment) Bill, 2021
6️⃣ External Trade (Amendment) Bill, 2021
7️⃣ Income Tax (Amendment) Bill 2021
8️⃣ Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill, 2021
9️⃣ Tobacco Control (Amendment) Bill, 2021
🔟 Value Added Tax (Amendment) Bill
1️⃣1️⃣ Tax Procedure Code (Amendment) Bill 2021
1️⃣2️⃣ Appropriation( Amendment) Bill 2021

Minister of Finance, Matia Kasaija tabled before parliament with12 tax-related bills under which government proposes several budget measures for the coming financial year 2021/2022.

Bobi Wine suffers,

Before the presidential campaigns, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu commonly known as Bobi Wine had hard times in his life. First of his search for signatures was a hard nut to crack yet he needed them and however much he got them they were also taken by the military regime.

Coming up with a party also was a problem that the government wanted to use as a weapon to fight him nevertheless, he won that race and gained his party that he had registered.

Bobi Wine, fatefully faced a number of torture when the campaigns were launched in the pandemic. His opponents were allowed to campaign in anyway they wanted yet his were always described as “war” , a day gone was always full of tear gas, live bullets and torture that in turn led to loss of other’s lives like Frank Ssenteza, Ritah Nabukenya Priya, Ziggy Wine to mention but a few.

The worst of all was that he had no where to report, the concerned organ (Electoral commission) was neither helpful at all because it looked like it was under control by the government regime and nothing could be done nomatter the number of deaths and injuries that were caused by the military.

The leading opposition led by Bobi Wine almost won every soul in the country and the results if were truly delivered then the world would have witnessed a musician with only a microphone won a 78year old tyrant who has spent more than 30years in leadership.

The ending point was neither loved by the citizens nor the non citizens. And till now the world still asks what will be next after incumbent Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declared himself a winner in an election where there was internet black out.
