SOROTI CITY

We shall be covering all of Uganda's ten new cities. We have so far looked at Arua, Gulu, Mbale and Mbarara.

Soroti City is the largest city in the Northeastern part of Uganda which covers Teso and Karamoja regions.
Teso's economic hub is ranked the lowest, by economy and population among the ten new cities of Uganda.

The 10 new cities ranking by economy(GDP, Industrialization) and population is Jinja, Mbarara, Masaka, Mbale, Gulu, Arua, Lira, Hoima, Fort Portal, and Soroti.

The town’s growth has been among the slowest as compared to the rapidly growing Mbale, Gulu, Arua and Mbarara.

HISTORY
The growth of Soroti dates as far back as 1904 when the then District Commissioner of Mbale sent Kakungulu to open some administrative post in Serere, Gweri and Soroti areas. Part of Kakungulu’s team camped near the rock at Soroti chosen for its strategic location on defence and availability of water from the nearby streams. Under the organized and able rule of Kakungulu’s men, local inhabitants were forced to clear the forest and within a few years a large area had been cleared and considerable amount of settlement had taken place.
Thatched houses for administrative purposes of Soroti County were put up at the site, where the present Lukiiko Hall stands and dispensary also in temporary materials stood at the site of the present hospital. Later on, with the coming of Asian traders four small shops in semi-permanent materials were put up in Soroti. These traders brought in clothes, salt, sugar, hoes, beads etc. Trading was transacted through bartering (between manufactured goods and cotton, bids, skins, beans, chicken, and groundnuts).
Soroti attained the status of the permanent headquarters of Teso region in 1912, because of a recommendation by Sir Fredrrick Jackson, after his appointment as the new Governor of Uganda. Later a District Commissioner was posted to Soroti and then permanent buildings started to be erected commencing with the District Office and this enhanced the growth of the township which became a municipality later. However, during the period of the First World War (1914-1918) development was somehow re****ed, but in 1919 it again picked up. There continued to be considerable challenges to administer a large district with only skeletal staff on the ground till 1962 when more efforts were made to improve administration.

Formerly known as Teso District, it existed at Independence in 1962 and consisted of the present day Kaberamaido, Katakwi, Soroti and Kumi. To ease administration, Teso District was in the 1970s divided into North Teso and South Teso, which in 1980, became Soroti and Kumi District, respectively.

On 1st July 2020, Soroti was declared a City.

LOCATION
It borders the districts of Kaberamaido in the west, Kumi in the east, Katakwi in the north and Kamuli and Pallisa in the south.

POPULATION
Soroti City has an estimated population of between 150,000 and 200,000 within the new city boundaries. The entire Soroti district has over 371,986 people, 190,587 are female and 181,399 are
Male.

MAIN LANGUAGES
The main languages are Ateso, Kumam and Kiswahili. However, there is also a large population of Karamojong, Langi, Baganda, Bagisu, Basoga among others.

ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
Agriculture with main emphasis on food crops such as millet, cassava, cow Pease, potatoes, beans, Simsim and sunflower. Cash crops cotton. Vegetables such as Tomatoes, Onions, and cabbage. Fruit farming of Oranges and Mangoes is also slowly picking up. Infact Soroti is one of the largest producers of Mangoes and Oranges in Uganda.

EDUCATION SERVICES
The district has a total of 173 primary schools with 153 government, 6 private and 14 community schools. For secondary schools, the district has over 39 schools, 8 are government, 14 private and 17 community. Among the most popular schools are Teso College Aloet, Halycon High, Soroti Municipal SS, and Jeressar High School
There 3 technical; institutions, 2 teacher training colleges.
Soroti is home to one University, the newly established Soroti University.

EA CIVIL AVIATION ACADEMY
East African Civil Aviation Academy is located at Soroti Airport which is its hub for training. It was Uganda’s fist civil aviation training academy.

HEALTH SERVICES
The district has 3 Government dispensaries (II), 14 health centres (III) at county, 3 health centres (IV) at sub-district with 1 hospital. More so, it has 6 private/NGO dispensaries, 22 clinic, 1 health centre (III) and no hospital. There is a Regional Referral Hospital Soroti with 195 beds, Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau- Lwala Hospital with 135 beds.

TRANSPORT NETWORK
The district has a large network of Murram roads with few tarmacked roads. The district has an airstrip where Soroti Aviation School is based. Soroti is served by a railway line which runs from Mbale to Lira. Presently the Rail line is dormant.

INDUSTRY
Unlike Jinja, Mbale and Mbarara, Soroti is less industrialized. In fact, Soroti has only about five industries including Soroti Fruit Factory (Teju Juice), Sunshine Agro, SCNAV Industries, Soroti SMC Industries and Soroti Grain Millers Limited.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Soroti Rock, a volcanic plug resembling the Tororo Rock, the town’s architecture reflects its multi-cultural history. Central Soroti has a marketplace where the ingenuity of the local populace at refashioning scrap metal to make cooking pots and other household items from the remains of cars and metal drum is amazing.

CHALLENGES
Soroti is grappling with major challenges of urban poverty, bad roads, limited access to clean water, low electricity proliferation and limited and far between health services.

What animal can beat a black mamba?

The infamous Black Mamba is the world’s most notorious snake, this highly toxic elapid is equipped with the fastest acting venom of any venomous snake and is capable of killing an adult human within 20 minutes!

Not only is the mamba the world’s fastest moving snake on land, it’s also the second longest venomous snake on earth, when threatened this hyper aggressive serpent with a coffin shaped head turns explosive!

They’ve been known to strike fast moving car windshields on the highway with the venom visible running down the glass!

Half of all people lucky enough to reach hospital in time and receive anti-venom still die!

Just the sight of it’s jet black mouth known as the kiss of death, is enough to send the lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, hyena and almost every other African mammal swiftly in the opposite direction!

But there’s a handful of ballsy creatures that don’t scare easily and are not intimidated by this slithering psycho-killer, these are the animals that scare the s**t out of the world’s deadliest snake!

BUSOWOKO FALLS.

Jinja's only waterfalls pool. Quite a fun place for a hot weekend.

Busowoko Falls is one of the last waterfalls remaining on the upper Victoria Nile. The others have disappeared under its backed-up waters.
Busowoko Falls is located downstream on River Nile, some 19kms from Jinja City in Bususwa/Bukongo village just after Namavundu Forest. Its located off the rugged Kimaka-Budondo-Kibibi road.
Busowoko Falls is one of the last major falls on the River Nile after several others including the once-famous Bujagali Falls were drowned out by Hydro-Electric Power Dams. This only makes it more special.
Since it became popular in 2019, the falls attract hundreds of revelers mostly on weekends. The rushing waters, coupled with scenic views for photo ops give the place an aura of mystic and attraction.
On an average weekend, you will find dozens of mostly young revelers enjoying the scenery, taking pictures with an occasional dip into the rushing waters.
