Kampala the Friendliest City in the World.
There is no doubt about Uganda being the the ‘Pearl of Africa’ for its geographical,scenic,environment and nature, Uganda is indeed the beauty of the Continent,the people and the great wildlife found in the land makes Uganda a unique State.However what doesn’t fit into this perfect description of Uganda are the poor living standards of people living in the slums.
Many Ugandans are living below the poverty lines with absolutely nothing to eat,no clothes to wear while others are living on streets of the main towns and cities in the trenches,others in the nasty slums, anyway, there has never been any good slum,obviously when you hear of a slum,its a slum,no life at-all.it’s just disgusting,no one deserves to live there.
