Tamale Mirundi had previously laid out specific and vibrant instructions for his final send-off. The media personality and larger-than-life figure had requested that his residences in Zana, Kabalagala, Kyengera, and his home village each host two-day vigils in his honor before his burial.
Far from being solemn occasions, Mirundi’s vigils are to be a lively celebration of his life. True to his spirited character, he envisioned these gatherings as festivities filled with music, food, and an abundance of alcoholic beverages. Mirundi's request reflects his larger-than-life personality and his desire for a joyous farewell that mirrors the energy he brought to his media career and personal life.
Mirundi's final wish was that these celebrations would capture the essence of his vibrant spirit, offering friends and family a chance to honor his memory with the same enthusiasm and joy that he infused into his work and life.
As Uganda prepares to honor Tamale Mirundi’s legacy, these vigils will stand as a testament to his remarkable life, inviting all who knew him to celebrate the man who left an indelible mark on the country’s media landscape.
