◆ The Story

History told in Light & Shadow

“Every frame in this book is a chapter of Uganda’s living history — seen through the lens of the man closest to it.”

For more than a decade, Abu Mwesigwa stood at the frontlines of history, camera in hand, capturing the evolving story of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. From intimate State House moments to grand ceremonial occasions, these photographs have never been seen in this form before.

Moments with Mzee is not simply a book of photographs. It is a document of power, personality, and purpose — 240 pages that take you inside the corridors of Uganda’s highest office, framed with rare candour and artistic precision.

What People Say

From the first page, you understand that this is not a political document — it is an artistic one. Abu’s eye for light, for timing, for the frame within the frame, is extraordinary. A future classic.

★★★★★

I have covered African politics for twenty years. This book does in images what I have struggled to do in thousands of words. It is essential reading — and essential seeing — for anyone who cares about Uganda.

★★★★★

A stunning collection. Every photograph feels like a secret being revealed for the first time. Abu has captured something that words simply cannot — the quiet weight of power and the humanity behind it.
