Victoria University Clears Air on Reports that Bad Black was Appointed its Brand Ambassador

Victoria University says it has not appointed socialite Shanitah Namuyimbwa aka Bad Black as the institution’s brand ambassador.

Claims that Victoria University had appointed Bad Black brand ambassador shocked the Ugandan online community.

But the institution has come out to make it clear Bad Black had just come to seek help.

“Ms Shanitah Namuyimbwa came to Victoria University with an overwhelming desire to better herself and become a decent contributing member of society and a role model to her children,” said Victoria University in a statement.

“Society knows well her iniquities; she understands them as well and is remorseful about them. That’s why she is trying her best to walk away from her past. It is against this background that Shanitah Namuyimbwa reached out to us seeking our support to help her become a better person.”

In the coming months, Bad Black could become a student at the university.

“She expressed her passionate desire to pursue two short courses at Victoria University in English and digital marketing,” the statement further read.

On Bad Black becoming its brand ambassador, Victoria University said: “All Victoria University students and alumni are our ambassadors. As our student, Shanitah Namuyimbwa automatically becomes a Victoria University student ambassador.”
