The media circles are mourning the sudden death of former TV presenter Angella Kabagambe, who was widely known for her work on TV West and Uganda Catholic Television (UCTV).
News of her death surfaced on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, shocking many especially in western Uganda where she built a strong fanbase over the years.
Reports indicate that Kabagambe was found dead in her home. By mid-day Wednesday, authorities and family members had not yet issued an official statement on the cause of death.
Her sudden passing has left colleagues, friends, and viewers in disbelief, especially those who followed her during her active television years in western Uganda.
Social media quickly filled up with tributes, with many describing her as warm, professional, and deeply committed to her work and community engagement.
Kabagambe became a familiar face through her time at TV West, a Vision Group station that broadcasts in Runyakitara languages and serves audiences in regions like Ankole, Kigezi, Tooro, and Bunyoro.
During the mid-2010s, she rose to household-name status while hosting popular shows such as Ndyamusiimanta, Emikoro, and other weekend programs that attracted strong regional viewership.
Her on-screen chemistry with fellow presenters, including Brother Keno (Kenneth Kanyesigye), helped shape some of TV West’s most memorable entertainment and lifestyle programming.
Beyond television, Kabagambe was also known as a storyteller, entrepreneur, Rotarian, and community advocate who often highlighted issues of leadership, faith, and personal development.
Following confirmation of her passing, TV West issued a tribute in Runyankore-Rukiga, praising her dedication, teamwork, and service to both the station and the wider community.
The station also extended condolences to her family, praying for strength and comfort during what it described as a painful moment of loss.
