{UAH} Ocen, Gook//Aki-Bua's co-runner dies at 75 - was Museveni's classmate at Ntare
Folks;
Obviously, the main news here is the passing of the trailblazer, who co-anchored the 400X4 riley with John Aki-Bua in 1972. But we also learn that Mzee Gomwe was President Museveni's classmate at Ntare SS in 1966.
So, either Museveni has shaved off a few years to his official age, or Gomwe began school at an older age.

Francis Gomwe was apparently a great man. I had never heard of him. Uganda did not have any relay team to the Olympics of 1972 in Munich. Was this Gomwe mainly an elite athlete in high school or at Makerere, or both? He seems to be absent in the lists of Uganda international athletes.
