The 69-year-old who retired from the army in August 2022, says he is setting his eyes on nursery school teaching, to burn all the extra time he has on his hand.
“By the way, I’m doing a short course in Nursery Teaching,” announced the retired former NRA combatant on social media.
“(I) want to see what is the difference between managing adults and infants,” he added.
Sejusa was responding to a question from one of his followers about how he spends his time in retirement.
Alex Muhairwe wanted to know if the general was personally making all the social media posts on his account, which Gen Sejusa confirmed.
“Why would a retired soldier employ an admin for his account? That would be laziness!” Sejusa responded.
“Retirement means you’ve got enough time to engage in all sorts of things, including “malwa” stuff.”
Since stepping aside from public life, Gen Sejusa has been very active on X where he shares views and information and local and international affairs.
Little More About Sejusa
Those close to him describe him as intelligent, defiant and daring. His defiance has pitied him against the three previous governments. Gen David Sejusa, formerly known as Tinyefuza, was first arrested by President Idi Amin in 1976 when, as a student at Makerere University, he told the military leader that he was a dictator.
Gen Sejusa, the first UPDF four-star general to be tried in the court-martial, was remanded to Luzira prison on charges of insubordination, participating in political activities and being absent without leave.
His Bush War comrade, Maj John Kazoora, in his book Betrayed By My Leader, says Gen Sejusa led a strike at Nyakasura School in Kabarole District in the early 1970s.
Gen Sejusa carried his defiance to Makerere University where he and his colleagues were picked up from the campus and detained at Makindye Military Barracks.
It was very risky to criticise Amin openly but a young Sejusa [Tinyefuza] dared the most feared man in Uganda at the time.
In 1981, while serving as a police officer, he was arrested for subversion and detained at Jinja Road Police Station together with Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi and another friend.
The two escaped from the cells and joined the NRA bush war, but their colleague feared to escape and was later killed.
In the bush, Gen Sejusa was in and out of jail for defying the status quo and orders of rebel leader Yoweri Museveni.
Let’s cut the long story short, Sejusa is perhaps the only UPDF soldier who has threatened or defied Museveni leadership from the early days of the NRA Bush War to date.
