About the Author: Joseph Mbazzi Muguluma (MMJ Immanuel Ben Misagga)

Joseph Mbazzi Muguluma—also known as MMJ Immanuel Ben Misagga—is a Ugandan sports leader and writer focused on Ugandan football governance, sports leadership, political commentary, and public-interest analysis.

He is widely known for his leadership experience in Ugandan football, including serving as SC Villa president (2014–2018), and for his continued commentary on institutional reform, accountability, and fan-centered club management.

What I write about

On this blog, I publish practical, opinionated analysis across:

  • Ugandan football & sports policy (UPL, The Cranes, club football, AFCON readiness)
  • Sports leadership, governance & accountability (club constitutions, legitimacy, audits, stakeholder trust)
  • Leadership (institution-building, identity, incentives, systems that outlast individuals)
  • Politics & public affairs (how incentives, institutions, and civic life intersect—often through the lens of sport)

If you're looking for writing that connects sport to governance, culture, and national development, you're in the right place.

Why you can trust my perspective

1) Real-world leadership experience in football

My writing is grounded in direct experience with club leadership and football administration realities—how decisions are made, what breaks governance, and what it takes to rebuild trust.

2) A consistent focus on institutions and accountability

I care less about personalities and more about whether systems work: statutes, checks and balances, transparent reporting, and incentives that make clubs sustainable.

3) Public footprint and publication trail

My byline and/or public profile appears across multiple media tracking and journalism ecosystems (e.g., Muck Rack listing).

Professional background

  • Former President, SC Villa Jogoo (2014–2018)
  • Football leadership and club governance writer (Uganda-focused)
  • Senior Partner, Plinth Consultancy Services Ltd (civil engineering / infrastructure delivery leadership)

How I research and write (Editorial Standards)

I aim to earn trust by being explicit about what is:

  • Observed (events, decisions, public actions)
  • Documented (statutes, statements, publicly available records)
  • Inferred (clearly labeled interpretation or opinion)

Where appropriate, I update posts when new information changes the conclusion, and I welcome corrections from readers who can provide verifiable sources.

Disclosures & independence

Opinions are my own.
