Fresh details surrounding the reported burial wishes of fallen Ugandan comedian Yokana Mbuuse, popularly known as Kapere Lufotose, have started attracting attention on social media following his sudden death. Reports about his alleged final instructions have sparked discussions, particularly over his reported decision concerning musician Eddy Kenzo.
According to reports circulating following his death, Kapere had expressed dissatisfaction with some people in the entertainment industry whom he felt had not supported him during his lifetime. Among the claims attracting attention is an alleged instruction that Eddy Kenzo should not attend his burial because he had not been there for him when he was alive.
The reported statement has generated debate among Ugandans, with social media users discussing whether artists and other public figures should wait until someone dies before showing them attention and support. Others have questioned the circumstances behind the comedian’s reported decision and what may have happened between the two entertainment personalities.
The controversy comes at a time when details about Kapere’s burial arrangements and final wishes are emerging. Reports have indicated that the comedian had also expressed reservations about some fellow comedians attending his funeral, suggesting that he had unresolved grievances within sections of the entertainment industry.
Kapere, whose real name was Yokana Mbuuse, died on Sunday, November 1, 2026, after collapsing while attending a school function at Jolivo Day Care and Junior School in Wakiso District. He had accompanied his wife to watch their daughter perform before suddenly complaining of a severe headache and collapsing.
He was initially rushed to Zam Zam Clinic before being transferred to Royale Health Services Hospital in Buddo, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 5:46 pm. Police confirmed that investigations had commenced, with a post-mortem examination expected to establish the actual cause of his death.
Kapere became popular through the Amarula Family comedy group alongside Amooti and Messe Bontwe before gaining further recognition through WBS TV’s Side Mirror programme. He was also known for his political involvement and support for the National Unity Platform, whose president, Robert Kyagulanyi, has mourned him as a friend and comrade.
As preparations for his burial continue, the reported instructions attributed to the comedian have added another dimension to the public discussion surrounding his death. However, the specific statement concerning Eddy Kenzo has not been independently verified as part of an authenticated will, and further clarification from Kapere’s family or management would help establish the exact details of his final wishes.
