The manager of the late Ugandan comedian Kapere Lufotose has revealed the entertainer’s burial programme, announcing that he will be laid to rest on Tuesday at 4:00 pm in Mukono.

Speaking to Spark TV, the manager, identified as Kayanja, said the burial arrangements would follow the fulfilment of Kapere’s will, adding that the comedian had previously communicated his wishes to his wife, friends and son, Trump.

According to the manager, Kapere had consistently expressed his desire to be buried on a piece of land he personally purchased in Mukono, where his final resting place will be.

He further revealed that the National Unity Platform (NUP) headquarters in Makerere-Kavule will host a vigil where friends, supporters and other mourners will gather to pay their last respects to the comedian.

“Kapere is going to be taken to the National Unity Platform headquarters in Makerere Kavule for a vigil because he has been having this party at his heart and they have done a lot of things for him,” Kayanja said.

He explained that the family and management were also considering taking the deceased’s body to the National Theatre, although permission was yet to be secured.

“If they permit us to take his corpse to the National Theatre, we will do that,” he added, noting that the possibility was still being discussed.

The manager said further details concerning the funeral arrangements would be communicated to the public in due course.

Kapere’s association with NUP was well known, with the comedian maintaining a close relationship with the opposition party and its leadership.

His death on Sunday, November 1, 2026, has sparked grief among fans, fellow entertainers and political figures who have remembered him for his distinctive comedy and contribution to Uganda’s entertainment industry.

The Kavule vigil will provide an opportunity for mourners to celebrate his life before he is taken to Mukono for burial on Tuesday.
