A Dubai-based Ugandan chef has turned a social media campaign into a piece of property back home.
Timuzigu Anold, popularly known as Chef Anold Ug, emerged as the overall winner of Amity Realtors Limited’s inaugural “Post and Win a Plot” competition, taking home a plot of land in Western Uganda.
The competition, launched in July 2026, invited Ugandans living abroad to submit one-minute videos explaining their connection to Amity Realtors and why they deserved to own land back home.
After receiving entries from across the diaspora, six finalists were selected for the final showdown, which took place live on TikTok on 9 August 2026. The event was hosted by musician and content creator Bruno K and diaspora personality Barista Timo.
In the final round, contestants were asked how they planned to use the land if they won. Chef Anold stood out with a clear vision and a strong presentation, earning him the top spot.
More Than Just a Competition
For Amity Realtors, the campaign was about more than giving away land. It created a new way to connect with Ugandans living abroad and remind them that property ownership back home is still within reach.
For Chef Anold, the prize represents more than a plot of land. It is an opportunity to build something back home and turn a digital opportunity into a real-world investment.
The success of the campaign also highlights how social media can connect the Ugandan diaspora with opportunities in the country's real estate sector.
From Dubai to Western Uganda, Chef Anold's story is a reminder that sometimes, one post can lead to something much bigger.
