Kampala, Uganda |INDP | Pearl Magic Prime has announced that the 2025 Uganda Film Festival’s Best TV Drama, Damalie, is expanding from a three-days-a-week broadcast starting Monday, 7th July 2025.

“Following its remarkable success and overwhelming viewer demand, the hit series will now air Monday – Friday at 8:30 PM, bringing fans even closer to the characters they love every single weekday,” according to a statement from Pearl Magic.

In this new chapter, Damalie takes an even darker and more gripping turn. Audiences will be introduced to unforgettable new characters including Solaire Mbidde, Damalie’s ruthless sister-in-law and newfound nemesis. Her two adopted sons, Josiah and Owen, enter the scene with ambition, rivalry, and romantic entanglements, especially as they both fall for the mysterious Zabuli – a girl with deep ties to Damalie’s past. As Damalie flees from justice and confronts betrayal, buried secrets, and personal losses, viewers can expect explosive drama, tangled loyalties, and a power struggle like never before.

” We’ve seen how Damalie has resonated with audiences, not just for its gripping plot, but for its rich characters and fearless storytelling,” said Rinaldi Jamugisa, PR and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Uganda. “This move to a five-day broadcast reflects our commitment to delivering compelling Ugandan stories at a scale and consistency that keeps our viewers hooked.”

“At M-Net, our mission is to keep audiences entertained, engaged, and eager for more,” said Margaret Mathore, Head of Channels – M-Net East Africa. “Expanding Damalie to five days a week means more opportunities to immerse yourself in the drama, connect with the characters, and a reason to tune in.”

Harvard-Trained Nigerian-American Engineer Raises $7m for Robot Designed to Assist Hair Braiders A Nigerian-American engineer and Harvard graduate, Yinka Ogunbiyi, has secured $7 million in seed funding to develop a robotic device designed to make hair braiding faster and less physically demanding for professional stylists. Ogunbiyi’s company, HaloBraid, is developing what it describes as the world’s first patented braid-assist robot. The device is designed to work with hairstylists by handling some of the repetitive movements involved in knotless braiding. The funding round was led by Seven Seven Six, a venture capital firm founded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. AlleyCorp and Bling Capital were also among the investors. The technology has already attracted significant interest, with more than 7,000 salons reportedly waiting to use the system. HaloBraid is designed as a collaborative robot, meaning it works alongside a human stylist instead of attempting to replace one. The hairstylist remains responsible for sectioning the hair, creating the initial knot and completing the final styling. The robot then assists with the repetitive weaving process down the length of the braid before the stylist returns to finish and shape the ends. According to the company, the technology could cut the time spent on some knotless braid appointments by roughly half, allowing salons to serve more clients while reducing the physical pressure on stylists. For Ogunbiyi, the idea was born from personal experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she spent four days installing knotless braids on herself, an experience that made her consider how technology could assist with the most repetitive aspects of the process. She subsequently teamed up with co-founder David Afolabi to develop HaloBraid. The company’s technology is also aimed at addressing the physical demands of professional braiding. Stylists who spend years performing repetitive movements can experience problems affecting their wrists, hands, shoulders, back and joints. By assisting with the most repetitive stage of braiding, HaloBraid hopes to reduce the strain on beauty professionals and help them work more efficiently. Ogunbiyi said the technology would not take away from the personal experience of visiting a salon. Rather, she believes it can allow stylists to spend less time on repetitive movements while continuing to handle the creative and personal aspects of hairstyling. Before launching HaloBraid, Ogunbiyi worked on smart kitchen appliances and Internet of Things products. She holds a joint master’s degree in engineering and business administration from Harvard University. With a $7 million investment and thousands of salons already expressing interest, HaloBraid is seeking to introduce robotics into one of the world’s largest and most labour-intensive beauty markets.
