Mu Ukuboza 2020, ubwo isi yari mu bihe
bikomeye bya Covid-19, Tems na mugenzi we Omah Lay bakoreye igitaramo i
Kampala.
Nyuma y’amasaha make, bombi bafashwe na
polisi, bashinjwa kurenga ku mabwiriza yo kwirinda iki cyorezo. Nubwo abateguye
igitaramo bari bemeje ko bafite ibyangombwa byose, abahanzi ni bo basanze
baryozwa amakosa atari ayabo.
Tems yagejejwe imbere y’urukiko, afungwa
iminsi ibiri—iminsi avuga ko yamubereye “inkubi y'umuyaga” yahinduye uburyo
areba isi n’umuziki we.
Mu kiganiro yagiranye na Angie Martinez mu
2023, Tems yasubiye muri ubwo bwoba yabayemo. Ati “Natekerezaga ko ntazasohoka.
Byari biteye ubwoba… natekerezaga ko hari impamvu mburira muri ako kajagari, ko
hari icyo ngomba kumarira abo bantu bari muri gereza.”
Kuri we, ayo masaha abiri muri gereza y’i
Kampala yabaye nk’impinduramatwara, agahinda ku mutima kamwibukije ko ubuzima
bushobora guhindura isura mu kanya nk’ako guhumbya.
Kuki
atazasubira i Kampala?
Iki kibazo cyongeye kuzamuka tariki 25
Ugushyingo 2025, ubwo yari mu kiganiro n’abafana kuri X. Umwe amubaza ati: “Ni
iki gituma utagaruka gutaramira muri Uganda?”
Mu gusubiza, Tems ntiyavuze byinshi.
Yifashishije gusa ifoto yo mu 2020 ubwo yari mu rukiko—nk’aho ashaka kuvuga ko
impamvu zigaragara: inkuru irivugira ubwayo.
Ni igisubizo cyuje agahinda n’irungu byo
guhura n’igihugu gikunzwe n’abahanzi benshi, ariko kuri we gikikije urugwiro
n’urwibutso rubabaje rutarashira.
Nyuma yo kurekurwa, Tems yibanze ku muziki
we afite imbamutima nshya. Mu 2021 yanditse kuri X ko umwaka wari ushize ari
muri gereza i Uganda ari kumwe n’abagore n’abana, ibyo yabonaga nk’ibihe
bitazibagirana.
Ariko nanone ayo mateka ntiyamuciye
intege. Ahubwo yamubereye imbaraga zidasanzwe. Uyu munsi ni umwe mu mbaraza z’umuziki
nyafurika—ufite Grammy, ufatanya n’ibyamamare nka Beyoncé na Drake, kandi akaba
ari ijwi ridashobora kwirengagizwa ku ruhando mpuzamahanga.
Igitaramo cyo mu 2020 cyavugishije benshi—
bamwe binubira ko abahanzi ari bo bagizwe ingaruka, abandi bashinja abateguye
kwirengagiza amabwiriza y’igihe. Ariko mu mvugo ya Tems, harimo ikirenge
cy’undi muntu wahuye n’ubuzima bwo kureba ibyo atari yiteze kubona.
Ubuhamya bwe bwahinduye uburyo abantu
benshi bareba imibereho y’abahanzi—ko inyuma y’urumuri rw’icyubahiro haba hari
ubuzima bwuzuyemo intege nke, ubwoba, n’ubucyo bw’umwuka bushobora kuvuka mu
gihe nk’icyo.
Kuri benshi, Uganda ni igihugu cy’abafana
bazi gushimira, imbuga z’ibitaramo zishyuha, n’umuco w’imyidagaduro uryoshye.
Ariko kuri Tems, Uganda ni amashusho yo mu rukiko, ni iminsi ibiri muri gereza,
ni igihe kitari gito cyo kwibaza byinshi ku buzima bwe n’umuziki we.
Tems yongeye kwibutsa ko atazigera asubira
gutaramira muri Uganda bitewe n'ibyabaye mu 2020
