Kasuku Mourns the Loss of His Beloved Grandmother

Renowned media personality Isaac Daniel Katende better known across Uganda as Kasuku—has lost the woman who quietly anchored his life, his grandmother.

In the final weeks of her journey she was admitted to hospital and placed under intensive care. Doctors fought hard, eventually turning to life-support machines as her strength steadily faded. This morning the machines were switched off. She slipped away peacefully.

On his WhatsApp status Kasuku wrote a single, raw line that has already begun to circulate widely:

“My entire life just got shorter. I don’t know how I’m supposed to walk this road without her.”

Those eleven words carry the weight of everything he has not yet said.

For many listeners Kasuku has always been the loudest voice in the room—quick-witted, unfiltered, never afraid to speak. Yet the grandmother he called Jaja occupied a different space entirely: steady, private, the one person who could silence him with a single look and still make him feel completely understood.

Her passing leaves a hole that no microphone, no live stream, no viral moment can fill.

Funeral arrangements have not been made public. When they are, the notice will almost certainly come from Kasuku himself—likely on the same WhatsApp status where he first shared the news.

Until then the country waits, unusually hushed, for a man who rarely stops talking to find the words to say goodbye.

Santa Media Uganda will update this story when further details are released.
