Young Ugandan producer fighting for his life

His friend Geofrey Nkwanga, popularly known as Dokta Brain, said the 23 year old suffered a cracked skull and was fighting for his life at Nsambya Hospital, where he was rushed by his girlfriend after she found him unconscious.

Muwanguzi was on his way home from Jah Live studio in Makindye, Kampala, where he works before coming face to face with a number thugs who took valueable items from him. The assailants are believed to be members of the Kifeesi Goons, a notorious gang that has been terrorising residents in the Ugandan capital.

Muwanguzi has produced bestselling Ugandan artists such as Bebe Cool, Winnie Nwagi, Irene Ntale, Fille and Eddy Kenzo.

Musicians took to social media to wish the young producer a quick recovery. Here are tweets from some Ugandan artists he has previously worked with.

Fille: “My prayers go out to you @danz_kumapeesa…so saddened by the news of the terrible attack unleashed on you last night …Get well soon Brother”.

Eddy Kenzo: “Quick recovery bro @Danz Kumapeesa….let’s pray for him”.

Irene Ntale: “Get well soon Danz!!! Right now I can’t understand how heartless someone can be to even think of hurting an innocent soul like you! Am soo sorry!!!! Get well soon dear!! Let’s all pray for @danz_kumapeesa!!

Muwanguzi worked on Bebe Cool and Sauti Sol’s Mbozi Za Malwa single, which was released at the end of April.

UPDATE:
