Songbird Iryn Namubiru is still in shock and can’t stop crying following the Saturday Lake Victoria boat tragedy that claimed the lives of over 32 people.
The “Tebiba bingi” hitmaker was one of the lucky 27 survivors after the Templar boat they were cruising in to Kpalm Beach Ggaba capsized with over 100 people on board.
While the singer recalls the traumatising event, she did not notice that she had captured the moments shortly before the boat capsized.
Initially she was recording the video while her song was playing but she didn’t realise how much danger they were all in.
In the clip she shared, party goers are staggering and running away following the scare from a boat which may have been hit by a wave.
“I recorded this video because my song was playing. Never at any one point did I even realise that we were already in so much danger.
Many of these people died. I recognized this staggering girl’s body immediately.
I watched the videos last night and noticed what must have been taking place at the time. I did not see what I am seeing then.
I only recorded to have my song, just for the sake of the song.
I am discovering this at the same time as you and the same questions keep popping, had I realised this then, probably I would be dead because I would have panicked, or maybe I would have called for emergency.
I don’t think i would get the guts to record us dying knowingly. I don’t know. Wabula Kitalo, katonda ayongere okungumya nange. May you all Rest in Peace.”
