DJ Emma had gathered a massive fan-base

By Manjasi High School OB; DJ Emma had gathered a massive fan-base of many elderly in and around Kampala

The fallen Central Broadcasting Services (CBS) DJ Emma Masege attended Manjasi High School for both his O and A levels (1993 and 1998).

He was resident in Emin House, strategically located to sneak out of the school over weekends to join his elder brother Simon Okware who was operating the Malaba Magic Disco at the border, about three kilometres down the road to Nairobi and Mombasa.

Emma, whose village of origin is in Namutumba district, was after Manjasi to relocate to Kampala and become a DJ in such happening places as Governor, Nyondo Club and the Wallet Pub in Kabusu.

When he joined CBS he immediately gathered a massive fan-base of many people older than him by played oldies music and discussing topics relevant to them. He has been sick of late but just when everybody thought he had fully recovered and was due to return to his addictive show, God thought otherwise. RIP Emma.

The deceased was an employee at CBS fm presenting the evening cruise. He was also a re-known kikadde pioneer who inspired many young djs.
