If Hilary Rodham Clinton (Below), had been
elected the 45th President of the 'free world' - The United States of America and the first POTUS at that,
one of her pending issues would have been - 'Just what on earth do I do with The Donald' – as in
Donald Trump, her bitter Republican rival for the presidency.
Of course she could have ignored
him, but The Donald (Below), was likely to keep on sniping away at her heels throughout
her four-year-tenure. Perhaps she could have taken drastic action and handed him
over to the feared Los Zetas, a cartel who control Mexico’s notorious suburb - Juarez
Valley, where many of the would-be-immigrants into America and who would have
been clambering over his immigration wall reside and let them tear him
apart.
But pause a minute. There are
many women out there who are still seething and foaming at the mouth over the comments he made about them during the election campaign and who would love to sink their teeth into him.
For that, she perhaps need look no further than Mpigi, here in Uganda, where
Mpigi Woman has been on the rampage.
I do stand to be corrected, but
if I recall from my so not-paying-attention geography classes, Mpigi, is a town
in Mawokota County, Mpigi District. It’s also an important transit town on the
highway to Masaka and has a staunch Buganda populous where one of Buganda’s
most renowned traditional gods – Kibuuka Ommbaale resides as well as it being the
ancestral home of the ndiga (sheep)
clan.
Nothing tangible thats worth gloating about really comes out of Mpigi - save for ndiga, nsenene and oba what else, but recently, someting did - enough to get the town a mention in the newspapers – not because the ndiga had
ran amok, but because of spousal battery. And this is where we jump in. It’s
not that Mpigi Man is battering Mpigi Woman, but Mpigi Woman is battering Mpigi Man. Hmm.
So ‘concerned’ are the police that Victor Kule, (Below) the regional police commander
for Katonga region, has been tasked with making sure that Battered Man gets
police help.
Just like men who batter women,
women who batter men don’t have signs hanging off their necks that read: ‘I
batter my man.’ And they are not necessarily the muscly butch type women with grey strands of hair
between their bosom and who hang out in sweaty UNHCR tarpaulin covered makeshift Kawempe gyms behind
Roko and doing squat thrusts with Moses Golola.
The first battered man I came
across in Uganda was at Ggaba Police station a few years ago. He was built – not 100% pure
muscled beef, but had enough beef on him to handle himself in a melee. It was the
third time he was reporting to police that he had been battered by Wifey.
However, to Fat Female Cop,
Battered Man was merely wasting time police time for she said something along
the lines of: “But look at you, you are a man and you really can’t take care of
yourself!?” She went further and this time joined by Male Cop, they belittled
him in front of everybody who was there to report a case, those under arrest
and those merely passing by. OC on the other hand, just didn’t want to know.
And when Wifey walked in, she was
the most petite women I’d seen in a while but had the most vicious temper and
an abuse vocabulary that was so acidic, it literally made the small hairs on the back of
my neck stand up.
Moving on, I have never met the television
personality MC Kats (Below) nor have I met his finance or is it now his ex-fiancé,
Fille Mutoni (Far Bottom). Apart from her thigh power, Fille looks like the girl next door. I
don’t know where she comes from, but if its Mpigi, then her battering Kats recently was
a battering waiting to happen.
So, what exactly happened? Err, Fille thumped the living daylights out of Kats in public and no one was sympathetic to him but, we did take delight in mocking and ridiculing him. He was the butt of jokes from Koboko to Kisoro and we men (and women too)
smirked and sneered: “What sort of man is Kats to allow a kawala
to goof him?”
If he (Kats) on the other hand had battered Fille, he would have been plucked from the streets and whisked on the back of a police pickup to CPS faster than it takes Uganda’s foot dragging and slowest waitress to pop open a bottle of Tusker Malt. That aside, an army of women - led by the vocal, unpredictable and erstwhile Dr Stella Nyanzi, would
have camped outside the station demanding he, along with The Donald, who Hiliary Clinton banished to Mpigi, get hung
from the nearest Marabou Stork infested mango tree outside the High Court till their necks snap for heinous crimes against
women.
