Gangs are back in town with high gear, mostly moving along with different musicians such as Alien Skin, Fik Fameica, King Saha, Pallaso, Mudra, and the NUP President, who comes along with over fifty members commonly known as foot soldiers.
These gangs have been common in music concerts, such as Fefe Bussi's just concluded concert and the opening of Nakivubo Stadium over the weekend.
Gangs of Alien Skin even partly exchanged brawls with those of Pallaso, bringing their danger to the forefront.
Commenting on them, Lydia Jazmine wondered why someone would move with over thirty people to a concert.
She explained that these gangs, in most cases, don't pay to access concert venues but bring all the confusion coupled with ruckus, ultimately affecting the promoter and the artist who organized the show.
"We organize concerts to make money, but coming with over twenty people for free is really sabotaging for me as the show owner. You bring a lot of chaos and confusion, which is not good at the end of the day," Jazmine explained in an interview with a local television station.
She was joined by Winnie Nwagi, who asked musicians to organize their gangs and move with a few members instead of bringing crowds that don't add value.
"I think they should organize their gangs and ask them to be respectful to people. Move with those you can regulate because these gangs even push us musicians out of the way," Nwagi added.
