Makerere University’s Freshers’ Ball, held on Saturday night at Impis Rugby Grounds, descended into drama on two fronts — a tense stage clash between musician Fik Fameica and Guild President Gracious Kadondi, and a widely circulating video of a young woman who undressed and danced in front of thousands of students.

The confrontation with the guild president erupted shortly after Fik Fameica took to the stage and began his performance. Kadondi, accompanied by members of her team, walked onto the stage and took the microphone, reportedly because she had not been given an opportunity to address the freshers.

Fik resisted the interruption and demanded that she leave. “Leave my stage! I have work to do,” the singer can be heard saying in videos of the incident. Several police officers and members of the artist’s team were seen on stage during the exchange. Students in the crowd began chanting Fik Fameica’s name, after which Kadondi and her team eventually left the stage and the performance continued.

Separately, social media has been flooded with videos of a young woman who climbed onto a table or raised platform, undressed and danced in full view of a large section of the crowd. Multiple clips of the incident have gone viral on WhatsApp chats, TikTok and X.

Some posts claim the woman is not a current fresher but a recent graduate of the College of Education and External Studies (CEES) who completed her studies last year and is a qualified teacher. Claims circulating on social media that she was arrested and spent the night at a police station remain unverified. No official statement has been issued by the Uganda Police Force or Makerere University administration confirming any detention.

The dual incidents have sparked intense debate online about campus culture, student leadership and the limits of freedom of expression at university events.
