In a remarkable display of community spirit and commitment to road safety, authorities in Kabale Municipality, in partnership with Total Fans Club, have launched a road safety initiative as part of the club’s third-anniversary celebrations. The initiative, aligned with the club’s corporate social responsibility efforts, will involve painting five zebra crossings in Kabale town to enhance pedestrian safety.

Celebrations and Launch

The celebrations began with a vibrant procession through the streets of Kabale, led by a brass band. Members of the Total Fans Club, dressed in branded attire, joined the march, symbolizing unity and a shared purpose.

The highlight of the day was the launch of the zebra crossing painting drive, a project aimed at improving pedestrian safety and promoting safer road traffic within the town. The initiative has been warmly received by local residents and authorities, who anticipate that the freshly painted crossings will boost visibility and help reduce the high number of road accidents in Kabale.

Community Leaders Praise the Initiative

Several notable leaders from the political, security, business, and social sectors participated in the event, hailing the Total Fans Club for its innovative approach to community welfare.

Sentaro Byamugisha, Sheikh Kassim Kamugisha, and ASP Wilson Mucunguzi, the Officer in Charge of Traffic in Kabale, were among those who praised the initiative. They called upon other community groups to emulate the Total Fans Club by contributing to social development and safety initiatives.
