Veteran News anchor Dan Kyazze dies

Rest in peace Dan Kyazze

A veteran news anchor Danny Kyazze has died at Kadic Hospital Bukoto in Kampala.

Dan Kyazze 72 died in the early hours of Friday after a long battle with  cancer.
Dan Kyazze started his career of reading news at the state run Radio Uganda in the 1960's. Later on in the mid 1990's when Radio One started broadcasting he was taken to read the Luganda bulletin at the Dustar Street based radio station. He has also been reading Luganda news at the Wavah Broadcasting Service (WBS) TV.

Late Danny Kyazze

During the 1960s, 70s and 80s he used to read the Luganda bulletin at both the Radio Uganda and UTV.  He actually spent 30 years at the state owned media until he crossed over to Radio One and it's Luganda sister radio Akaboozi ku bbiri.

On October 10, 2005, Independent Uganda's first prime minister, and two-time president , Milton Obote, died in South Africa after 20 years in exile and Dan Kyazze had this to say when he read the news on Radio Akaboozi ku bbiri "Nina omukisa okubeera nti nze nsomye amawulire g'okufa kwa Obote era nga ne Sir Edward Muteesa bweyafa nze nasoma amawulire ago" translated as I am happy to be the one who read the bulletin of the death of Sir Edward Muteesa and now I have read the news bulletin of the death of Dr. Obote" He said this simply because it was widely thought that Milton Obote was behind Sir Edward Muteesa's death.

The vigil is at his home in Nateete Mackay Zone. Rest in Peace Dan Kyazze.
