Celebrating Bobi Wine: A Legacy of Resilience and Hope at 43

Today, February 12, 2025, marks a special day for Ugandan musician, politician, and activist Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, as he celebrates his 43rd birthday.
Born in 1982 in the small village of Nkozi, Mpigi District, Bobi Wine has grown to become one of the most influential figures in Uganda and beyond.

Bobi Wine first rose to fame as a musician, using his art to address social and political issues in Uganda.

Bobi Wine’s influence extended beyond music. In 2017, he transitioned into politics, winning a parliamentary seat to represent Kyadondo East.

His entry into politics was driven by a desire to challenge the status quo and fight for the rights of ordinary Ugandans. As a member of parliament, he became a vocal critic of President Yoweri Museveni’s regime, advocating for democratic reforms, transparency, and accountability.
