This evening at State Lodge, Nakasero, I received and held discussions with a delegation led by the former President of South Africa, H.E. Jacob Zuma, who paid me a courtesy call. Our discussions touched on opportunities for increased business and investment cooperation, particularly in strategic sectors that support industrialisation and value addition. I welcomed their interest. We shall support them.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu, greetings.   After consultations with the national epidemic response task force and religious leaders, we have decided to postpone the Martyrs' Day to a later date, which will be communicated.   This decision was made because Uganda receives thousands of pilgrims annually from Eastern Congo, which is currently experiencing an Ebola outbreak. To safeguard everyone's lives, it is essential that this important event be postponed.   I encourage those who had begun their journey to return home, continue observing the precautionary measures, report anyone who is sick, and encourage those who are ill to seek medical care.   We regret any inconvenience caused, but the protection of life must come first.   Signed: Yoweri K. Museveni PRESIDENT
