The Headmistress of Kyambiogo College School is dead.
According to reports, Anne Tumwesigye Makaru passed away on Wednesday night after losing the battle to diabetes although some claim it was high blook pressure.
“Annie worked today. Left office towards 7pm. Went home. Became a little un conscious around 9pm. Her son Junior brought an ambulance. They tried to do some first aid as they rushed her to Metroplex hospital in Nalya Estates. She passed on as they had just reached the hospital,” a close family friend revealed.
Before her death, there were reports that a petition had been filed to the ministry of education and the inspectorate of government seeking her removal, something that could have added to her stress.
Some Ugandans have taken to social media to mourn her passing.
