Joseph Tamale Mirundi, who served as President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s press secretary from 2003 to 2015, died on August 13, 2024.

Many politicians and entertainment gurus in the country have been sending out condolence messages to the family of the now late Tamale Mirundi.

But what killed the son of Yowana Mirundi and Molly Namatovu at the age of 60?

In the months leading to his death, Tamale Mirundi had developed heath issues, some necessitating that he is admitted to hospital.He was previously diagnosed with low blood pressure, according to reports.

Last month, after his health condition worsened, he was admitted at Kisubi Hospital, including in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Tamale Mirundi had spent about a month at Kisubi Hospital receiving treatment. Media reports quoted his family as saying the former presidential press secretary succumbed to complications related to the function of the lungs.

A son to the late Tamale Mirundi has been quoted as saying that his father appeared to have shown signs of improvement two days before he breathed his last at about 11:40 PM on the night of August 13, 2024.

The son further said that there were worries as the doctors attending to Tamale Mirundi reported that there was an influx of water in his lungs.They tried to suck the water out of the lungs but soon, this measure proved unsustainable as they noticed an unusual flow of blood in the place of the water.  

Years ago, Tamale Mirundi claimed that he had been poisoned. In his talk shows, he always hinted on the mafia who were reportedly after the lives of those who were exposing them or blocking their multi-billion bills.

Tamale Mirundi, who also served as a presidential advisor on media matters, belonged to President Yoweri Museveni’s ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).On some occasions, he donned yellow clothes.

Yellow is the major color of Museveni’s NRM party which morphed from the rebel group, the National Resistance Army (NRA).He was also associated with the first son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s political movement, the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU).

Afraid of the ‘mafia,’ he sometimes was pictured with a hammer, a weapon he said he carried in case of an attack.He was once a famous political analyst but his strong language made some stations suspend his media appearances.

His appearance on One on One show on NBS TV, one of Uganda’s biggest television brands, was stopped over his unpleasant allegations against officials he linked to the mafia gang.

Tamale Mirundi would also later appear on STV where his Sharp Talk struggled to garner the ratings he previously had on NBS TV’s One on One show.

Later, Tamale Mirundi shifted to online shows, sometimes being hosted on channels that the mainstream media had no control over.He also had some appearances at now youth and children affairs minister Balaam Barugahara’s Radio 4.

Born in 1964, Tamale Mirundi was aged 60.In July 2024, Tamale Mirundi was rushed to Kisubi Hospital in critical condition. He was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
