Obituary: Rugby Legend Seguya Passes On With Unfulfilled Dreams

Uganda Rugby is mourning the loss of legendary player and Coach Robert Sseguya.

Seguya, one of Uganda’s greatest rugby players, lost the battle to leukemia on Tuesday following months of illness that brought together everyone the sport he loved.

The 43-year old was diagnosed with the blood cancer in May after feeling unwell while coaching his club side – Jinja Hippos.

“Uganda Rugby mourns the loss of legendary player and Coach Robert Sseguya. Nay his soul Rest In Peace. #RIPRobertSseguya,” Uganda Rugby Union (URU) tweeted.

Soggy as he was fondly known was treated in Jinja, transferred to Mukono then Kampala’s Pulse Clinic.

He was then moved to Uganda Cancer Institute, Mulago, to start chemotherapy.

A two-time African champion for Uganda also won a multitude of titles his club Heathens and often dared to break the Kobs-Heathens duopoly.

That drive took him to Buffaloes as a player and later coach, then Hippos.
