Uganda’s Super Lady Suzan Muwonge has become the first Ugandan woman to win a national Motor Rally championship event after she cruised to victory in the UMOSPOC Rally Challenge on July 19.
Muwonge who was driving in a Subaru N4, outpaced 18-year old Shafiq Ssemuju, in a Subaru Imprezza N10 (2nd position) and Godfrey Lubega who came third. This is the first national title she has won, but it reflects on her big dare attitude.
In the last one and half decades, names like Charles Muhangi, Emma Kato, Karim Hirji, Moses Lumala, Charlie Lubega and Kaka Junior were synonymous with motor rallying in Uganda. When they decided to ease off their gas pedals, Ugandan motor rally fans were convinced that it was the end of the sport in the country.
