Finally DJ Alex Ndawula laid to rest

The late DJ Alex Ndawula finally laid to rest today in Kyamaganda village, Lwengo District.  Former Capital Fm popular presenter was given a decent send off.

The fallen Dj’s burial arrangements and key dates were confirmed two weeks ago, but his body had stayed for a month in mogue.

Saturday 9th July, 2022 was public viewing and memorial service hosted by Capital FM at Capital FM Gardens Plot 1A Kisementi, starting at 2pm. Thereafter there was  Funeral Service at Rubaga Cathedral.

Sunday 10th July, today the body of Dj Alex Ndawula was laid to rest at Kyamaganda Village in Lwengo District. Lwengo was his ancestral home. The Mass started at 12 noon and the burial took place at  about 4pm. Most mourners located the burial grounds by Google Maps as the link was shared in due course.

The former Capital Fm DJ Alex died early last month, June 6, 2022. Bright Baba, who works at Kisementi -based Capital Fm, broke the news and confirmed his death.

Bright posted on his twitter handle, ” I do not know how to say this. I just received bad news about passing on of a big brother Alexander Ndawula at Nsambya Hospital. Alex, may your soul Rest in Eternal Peace.”

Dj Alex was unwell for many months, actually over a year then. The Drone Media had published news about his sickness and treatment at St. Francis Nsambya Hospital in January 2, 2021. The legend DJ was bedridden for one and ahalf years.

Like all African families, Ndawula’s family got some issues and it is what delayed his burial.

The celebrated disc jockey and radio personality was born in New York, USA, in 1963 and relocated to Uganda when he was eight years old, after his father passed on.

He later joined St. Mary’s College Kisubi but one year  later went to Nairobi,  after which he joined  Namasagali College for  his  high school and finally Nakawa Technical Institute where he studied  Marketing.

By the time he resigned his job at Capital FM in 2017 he had served the station for a whooping 20 years although he had been in the radio business longer than that.
