South African song stress Yvonne Chaka Chaka came for a Friday evening charity concert organized by the Shule Foundation.

Since the event had not been well publicized, no one was sure it would pull big crowds. But the 53-year-old South African Singer proved she only needs publicity for two days and Ugandans will dig deep into their pockets to get Shs100,000 for an ordinary and Shs5M for a table.

The opening performance was from Jacob Nsali who did two songs with the famous Coconut. It was around 9pm when Rema Namakula dressed in a long dress showed up on stage. She performed only two songs Banyabo and Tikula before she left for speeches from the Director of the Foundation.

Even with a band on stage, Chaka Chaka kicked off her performance without the band. She started with song with Man of the World, a song that praises Nelson Mandela.

She did songs like Mr DJ, Am in Love with the DJ, Let me be Free, I am Burning Up and climaxed show with Umqkmbotih which she invited Bobi Wine on stage to perform the song as they called it a night

Upon her arrival, the internationally celebrated starlet promised to give Ugandans nothing short of a memorable performance.

“I urge you all to come out and let’s enjoy a great evening celebrating African music. Proceeds from the show are also being driven towards a charity cause, something I am very passionate about,” she said.

Proceeds from the show are to aid with the construction of a school for former street children in Kampala.

“With 48 percent of the children on the streets under the age of 15, we should take it upon ourselves to ensure that these children are granted atleast one basic right, which is education,” said Jacqueline Wolfson, the CEO and founder of the Shule Foundation. She added that it would be a fun filled night with performances from Bobi Wine, and many other surprise acts.

Tickets to the show are already on sale, at Shs100, 0000 (ordinary), Shs300, 000 (VIP), and Shs5 million and Shs8 million for the table seating.
