Namatovu was often called “October’s Finest” and “Jojo” by her friends. While campaigning earlier this year, she used the motto “The lioness Roars” as she sought support from her colleagues, perhaps a reflection of her strong character and willingness to take on the toughest circumstances.

We will miss you greatly Rest in Peace Fam May God keep us all strong, especially your family. #RIP Namatovu Josephine.” Nkumba University Law Society mourned.
