By Austin Bukenya More by this AuthorThe name Nkurunziza means “good news” in Icirundi, the language of Burundi. As you know, they have not had much good news out there lately, despite their getting a new president in the person of Gen Evariste Ndahishimiye. The Mandela Stadium leapt to my attention in a grim mention by President Museveni, in his Heroes’ Day (9th June) speech. That might sound positive as an aspect of Uganda’s proactive response to the pandemic, but it is not quite “nkurunziza” (good news). You may also have heard of good old dexamethasone, lately found to help the body fight Covid-19 by regulating its immune response to the virus.
