Straka Mwezi, one of the biggest MCs and television stars in Uganda in the early 2000s is nursing a headache after her bar nights at Orange Park flopped. Straka who now works with little known HG-TV organized some bar nights at the Ntinda-Kiwatule Road hang out recently, but only a handful of fans appeared.
Blaming it on a troubled economy, Straka said business has its up and downs for which she needs patience and persistence.
“This has nothing to do with my name being faded. It is the bad economy. Don’t you see Uganda Shillings is falling against the dollar? Don’t you see that fuel prices are rising? People are not okay in their pockets. But we are going to continue with those nights,” Straka told this reporter.
At the peak of her fame, Straka would fill a stadium with fans who would struggle to get just a piece of her.
Meanwhile Straka is also doubling as the Program Director at HG-TV where she has promised to turn around the station to become the most popular in Uganda.
“You know where I am from. We built WBS and now we are going to build HG-TV” Straka emphasized on phone.
