This edition of the Roast and Rhyme was appropriately dubbed “Nyam On The Nile” and it did deliver on the name as revealers dug in on tons of grilled meats and cold beer all while basking and shaking off the best of live music and thrilling performances.
On Saturday, revealers stormed Jinja to relish in the various tourist attractions that the city boasts such as the breathtaking source of the Nile.
