Ugandan socialite and media personality, Sheilah Gashumba, has once again made waves in the social scene after unveiling her latest luxury purchase—a sleek Range Rover Velar. The glamorous event, held on Saturday night in Kampala, drew close friends, influencers, and eager fans, all keen to witness the grand reveal of the sophisticated SUV.
Gashumba, who is no stranger to the finer things in life, took to social media to share her excitement: “Upgrade your life in silence!! From me to me,” she tweeted, expressing her satisfaction with her new acquisition.
She also reminisced about her first car, a BMW gifted to her by her father, businessman Frank Gashumba, before revealing that the Velar is her second major car purchase.
Priced at around $70,000 (UGX 260 million), the Range Rover Velar is renowned for its cutting-edge technology and luxurious features. Gashumba’s new ride has a powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, a panoramic roof, and a minimalist, high-end interior. The vehicle’s elegant leather seats, 12.3-inch interactive driver display, and advanced Touch Pro Duo infotainment system reflect both comfort and high performance, aligning with her love for luxury.
Sheilah’s grand entrance at the event turned heads, as fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the highly sought-after SUV. The Range Rover Velar, known for its smooth handling and stylish design, is the latest addition to her collection of high-end cars, which already includes a BMW X6 and a Mercedes Benz.
Over the years, Gashumba has established herself as one of Uganda’s top influencers, flaunting a glamorous lifestyle on her social media platforms. From her international travels to her exquisite taste in fashion and cars, she continues to set trends and dominate the social scene. The unveiling of the Range Rover Velar not only adds to her growing fleet of luxury vehicles but also solidifies her status as a leading trendsetter in Uganda’s elite circles.
Flexipay Unbelievable Discounts Wow Revellers at OBA Fest — ‘Soda Was More Expensive Than Beer’
While at the Bell OBA Fest over the weekend, soda became more expensive than beer at the highly anticipated OBA Fest event leaving many festival-goers both amused and amazed. For the first time, thanks to unbeatable discounts from Flexipay, a bottle of beer was priced lower than soda—an unexpected highlight of the event that had thousands of revellers flocking to Jahazi Pier in Munyonyo.
Kicking off on Friday, the three-day festival was packed with electrifying performances, delectable food, and endless drinks, but it was Flexipay’s exclusive beer offer that stole the show. Using Stanbic Bank’s Flexipay mobile app, attendees could purchase a bottle of beer for as low as UGX 1,000/-, while soda, on the other hand, retailed for UGX 3,000/-.
“Flexipay is a lifestyle product that enables people to transact cashlessly. We wanted to give our customers an unforgettable OBA experience by offering incredible discounts,” said Jackie Abwol, Flexipay’s Marketing Manager. She added that every time Flexipay sponsors an event, customers should anticipate massive discounts—not just on beverages, but on tickets and food as well.
The remarkable discounts drew attention and praise from partygoers. Alex Murungi, one of the revellers, described the experience as surreal. “I thought it was a joke when I heard beer was cheaper than soda, but I bought 10 bottles for UGX 10,000 via USSD *291#. It was unbelievable. Flexipay’s happy hours truly made OBA Fest stand out.”
The OBA Fest, organized by Uganda Breweries Limited in partnership with Talent Africa and Swangz Avenue, has consistently ranked as a must-attend event. This year’s edition featured top musical acts like Vinka, Bebe Cool, Azawi, and Fik Fameica, with hosts Sheila Saulta of NRG and NTV’s Dagy Nyc keeping the energy high.
With Flexipay revolutionizing cashless transactions and bringing unbeatable discounts to events like OBA Fest, it is clear that Ugandans can look forward to even more exciting, budget-friendly experiences in the future.
