Weightlifter Ssekitoleko overwhelmed by donations

If you do not know Ssekitoleko Julius, you probably are not Ugandan. He is that Ugandan Olympian who when to Japan and disappeared in thin air like a fart. He left a note cursing the heavens for having lived in Uganda and left the camp to look for what to do.
Even the biggest news outlets ran his story, and, in a few days, he was the talk in the corridors and on the streets. It is said that there was a serious search for him, that seemed like witch hunt and he was eventually captured and returned home.
At his return, he was swirled into cold prison cells for days and later released, after an investigation on whether he was mentally ill or something unavoidable had happened to him. He however told the media that he was not deported as the media reports but rather brought back in peace. He also cried out like a kitchen mouse that had caught fire, that his situation is so miserable since he was evicted from his rental and he had no job because he had sold off his boda-boda(motorcycle) in order to go for the Olympics.
Well, Uganda has got these default socialites that will always come out in the cameras to give out something. Mama Fina, the leader of traditional healers in Uganda gifted the weightlifter with UgShs.2m and a brand new boda-boda to throw him back into the employment world. Another good Samaritan had given Ssekitoleko food to enable him to feed his pregnant wife.
Well, in Uganda, someone will do something stupid and become either a socialite or a celebrity. When some boys appeared in stinking attire on a certain talent show a few months ago, the judge told them straight in their face that they were stinking, and this didn’t appease the masses. This helped them to gain popularity and, in the end, they became famous and won several gigs.
