An outpouring of condolences has filled social media after reports emerged claiming that Maggie Kiweesi, widely known as Nalongo Maggie and the mother of the late dancehall singer AK47’s twins, has passed away.
The news has left many Ugandans heartbroken, with supporters remembering the difficult journey Maggie and her children have faced since AK47's death in 2015. AK47, born Emmanuel Mayanja, was a member of the famous Mayanja family and brother to musicians Jose Chameleone, Pallaso and Weasel.
The twins have long been at the centre of the family's efforts to preserve their late father's legacy. In recent years, the Mayanja family publicly reunited with the children and introduced them to their father's relatives and final resting place after they had spent years living abroad with their mother.
If the reports of Maggie's passing are confirmed, the development marks another devastating chapter for the young twins, who have already grown up without their father.
Messages of sympathy have continued to pour in online, with many praying for strength for the children and the entire Mayanja family during this difficult period.
May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her loved ones find comfort and strength in the days ahead.
