Meet Etania Mutoni, the girl that rocks your party
February 15, 2021 Etania Mutoni
Nightclubs and bars have stayed closed – at least officially – for most of 2020 and that lockdown continues, in a bid to control the coronavirus.
Those who were used to hanging out with friends and hitting the dance floor in groups had to grapple with a new reality: the party had been effectively shut down. But then, local television stations came up with a simple idea, to bring the party to people’s homes, and the NTV Mix Party, among others, was born.
With NTV Mix Party came a new face and voice, Etania Mutoni, 22, the bubbly show presenter few of us had ever heard about, who turned up the party on our screens every Friday night with an interesting fashion sense and loud personality. From Kampala to Nairobi, from Koboko to Tororo, viewers were tuning in and dancing their Covid-19 sorrows away with this young woman.
INSIDE THE TALLY CENTRE
Inside the university, there was the security tent and two other big tents; one used as the tallying centre and the other for catering services. Behind the tents were several containers used as bedrooms for several commissioners and commission department heads.
Temporary toilets supplied by Photogenix were all visible. The men and women at the entrance made sure persons entering had negative Covid-19 test results. About 50 metres from the first roadblock at the entrance, was a tent with detectors and quite a big number of security operatives mainly dressed in Electoral Commission T-shirts and caps.
The Observer team has seen these very security operatives before on guard duty at parliament, Bank of Uganda, ministries, government departments and agencies. This tent enforced Covid-19 standard operating procedures like sanitizing. There were two detectors used to screen luggage and people.
