Jjagwe Bows Out, Leaves Table Tennis on the Brink of Federation Status

Cyrus Mark Muwanga has been elected President of the Uganda Table Tennis Association (UTTA), bringing an end to Robert Jjagwe’s 12-year leadership.

Muwanga, a former national player and businessman, will serve a four-year term, taking charge at a time when the association is aiming for full federation status.

Muwanga, unopposed in the election, will be joined by Joseph Rukundo as General Secretary and Brian Charles Ssenyonga as Treasurer. The UTTA constitution gives the new president 10 days to fill the remaining six positions.

A former gold medalist at the 2006 Africa University Championships and a national representative at the 2005 Islamic Games in Saudi Arabia, Muwanga brings both experience on the table and leadership off it.

He currently runs Grand Maria School in Nabbingo and previously hosted a successful UTTA-endorsed kids’ training clinic at the school in 2022.

“I think I was the best candidate for this position,” Muwanga said. “I played the sport at the highest level, I’m a successful businessman, well-educated and principled. Running a school needs teamwork, same with running an association.”

Muwanga is already setting ambitious targets. “I want to prioritise sponsorship. If I managed to get Airtel to support a school tournament, how about when I have the mandate of a national body? We can’t wait for NCS.”

He was recently in Accra to support Uganda’s table tennis players at the African Games and believes his continued presence around players will guide his decisions.

Jjagwe exits with a legacy of growth. His administration worked to expand table tennis to new districts, with the goal of satisfying the 112-district participation requirement to attain federation status.

He compiled a detailed record, with photos, names, and school or club affiliations, to support the Uganda National Council of Sports (NCS) verification process.

The just-concluded Elective General Assembly saw representation from 88 districts—well above the minimum 50 percent threshold.

“We ensured full transparency, collecting national IDs and signatures to prove attendance,” Jjagwe said. “As a certified Bush Lawyer, I wanted to ensure we were fully compliant with the law.”

Jjagwe thanked those who supported him and pledged to remain available for guidance in his new role as Honorary UTTA President. “I’ll assist with the transition and help inform key bodies like NCS, ITTF, UOC, and CTTF. I want the new team to have a smooth start.”
