Gashumba bashed for claiming to have saved a kid from drowning

Former ‘NTV the beat’ host Sheila Gashumba never ceases to create commotion on social media to draw attention to herself.

Not clear if she needed attention or was just being compassionate following the death two-year-old twins belonging to State Minister for Water Resources Ronald Kibuule, Gashumba used that opportunity to try and shine as she claimed to have saved a kid from drowning on Sunday.

“I saved a kid from drowning on Sunday because the life guard was just standing outside the pool starring at people while 10 kids crossed over from the kids pool to the main pool. So seeing a story about twins drowning in a pool few days ago is relatable,” Gashumba stated.

However, despite her heroic gesture, social media ‘police’ had a go at her, advising her to stop using other people’s misfortune to make news.

Other comments read.

Aeron, Now on that note ..shall they hurry up and give you the ‘save drowning’ ambassador role?

Pofia, Sheilah always wants to fit everywhere… anyway thnx for the great job…were you always be,,people die…if u weren’t there…how would the kids die.

Kanyamunyu Jr, Why do you make up stories, why didn’t you say it on Sunday, why now!!

Ashraf, Gwe little girl we on a serious issue of 2 children dying not making Africell cheap adverts, moreover social bundles and data, share you mind next time where to advertise and where to be serious

Alton, I think you should become the ambassador of swimming pools

Hadad, Enough of your attention seeking, let grieve in peace

Kenz Blaq, And you came to type this on twitter for a reward??

Andrew, this is a serious issue, nothing relatable here.

Tony Hunk, Attention seeking always

Trevor, it was a private home pool not a public pool. Leave the life guards out of this one.
