On July 26, 2025, the prestigious Kampala Serena Hotel lit up in celebration as Uganda honored one of its most iconic figures. Halima Namakula marked an extraordinary double milestone, 25 years of impactful philanthropy and 50 years of excellence in the creative arts, with a concert that reflected both her legendary status and her enduring influence.
Backed by the full force of Next Media, the event was not only a musical triumph but also a demonstration of strong media and brand support. From start to finish, the entire celebration was executed with precision, professionalism, and passion.
Sanyuka TV, NBS Music, and the AfroMobile streaming platform played a central role in ensuring the event’s success. With expertly coordinated logistics, seamless digital payment solutions, and dynamic real-time coverage, Next Media brought the concert to life for thousands, both at the venue and across the country. Thanks to AfroMobile’s exclusive live streaming, fans who couldn’t attend in person still got front-row access to the magic.
The concert featured a glittering lineup of Uganda’s finest performers, Kenneth Mugabi, Levixone, Rema Namakula, Eddy Kenzo, Bebe Cool, Meshach Semakula, and Carol Kasita, each paying musical tribute to Mama Halima. Their performances celebrated her remarkable journey, and the atmosphere was one of joy, admiration, and national pride.
The sold-out event was a clear reflection of both Halima Namakula’s far-reaching legacy and Next Media’s unwavering support for Ugandan talent and culture. With top-tier coverage, brand amplification, and storytelling at its best, the night stood as a shining example of what happens when purpose meets partnership.
As Halima closed the show with a powerful message of unity and gratitude, the audience was left inspired—reminded once again of her invaluable role in shaping both Uganda’s cultural identity and its social development.
