This is the first UGC event to be organized by the ladies\u2019 section led by Kabonero this year.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kabonero, as well, claimed the longest drive prize while the same prize for the men went to Group B winner Garry Gonza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
