She deserves a lesson on the wealth that is our African heritage and culture, thinking that working at Oxfam makes her white? She should strive to create a Ugandan /African version of Oxfam, now that development. @Winnie_Byanyima

If Besigye is not complaining about her not kneeling when serving dinner or greeting him, that's OK. But she shouldn't get offended when other women show good manners in kneeling for their spouses and elders.
