KAMPALA - Former Ugandan housemate in Big Brother Africa reality show, Mr Gaetano Juuko Kagwa and seven other former housemates are in Accra, Ghana, shooting a video film by Ghanaian housemate Sammi.

Sammi branded himself a musician in the Big Brother Africa reality TV in South Africa and won a Sure codeless microphone from the show producers.

Gaetano left aboard a Kenya Airways flight at 5:30 am on Friday morning. He joined Zambian Cherise Makubale, the winner of the $100,000 Big Brother prize final prize, South African Ms Abby Plaajtes, Mr Alex Holi, Ms Tapuwa Adebayo and Mr Martin Van Breda, the contingent manager. Angola’s Bruna is reportedly absent from the film shoot.

The former housemates are to stage a music show on an Aids fete due in Kampala on December 1. The fete will be held under the auspices of Unaids and the Uganda AIDS Commission.

On his return from Ghana, Gaetano will embark on a countrywide tour to get acquainted with the living conditions of the majority of rural people living with HIV/Aids.

“This trip is very vital if he (Gaetano) is to know exactly how hard Aids has hit this country. The trip is more like feeling the pulse from where it beats hardest,” said Mr Peter Mubanda of ADS for Africa, the organisers of the World Aids day festivities.
