Retired head teacher Boniface Banserurra, 78, lives in Buteebe Trading Centre in Fort Portal. Banserurra spends much of his time attending to his clients who come to buy newspapers at his home and also doing domestic work. He had engaged in subsistence farming but opted to sell newspapers because he loves reading and wants to keep tabs with the current affairs.
Banserurra spent 29 years as a teacher and administrator in schools. He retired in 1995 when he was 53 years old.

Yesterday’s local government elections registered a low turnout countrywide compared to national elections.
Ugandans across the country yesterday took to the polls to elect district chairpersons, city mayors and councillors, having elected a President and Members of Parliament (MPs) on January 14 and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) MPs on Monday.
Voters that Daily Monitor interviewed yesterday said Ugandans had lost interest in elections, while others accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of failing to sensitise locals about the relevance of local governments.
Local government are key since they are at the forefront of nurturing citizen engagement, service delivery and management of public space. They also monitor lower level units at sub-county level.
