A second-year law student at Kampala International University, Dennis Zziwa, has been hospitalised after sustaining injuries while portraying Jesus Christ during a Good Friday Way of the Cross reenactment in Kampala.
The incident occurred at Our Lady of Africa Church, where Zziwa participated in the annual passion play commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
During the physically demanding performance, he was subjected to intense scenes involving simulated beatings, which resulted in injuries. He was immediately attended to by personnel of the Red Cross present at the event.
Following initial first aid, Zziwa was transferred to Lamone Health Center for further medical attention and observation.
The incident has drawn attention to the safety measures in place during such reenactments, which are a common feature of Good Friday observances in many Christian communities.
