MultiChoice Uganda's unstable marketing division has struggled to calm the waters thepast few years since MultiChoice Uganda's torrid sex scandal in which marketing manager Phoebe Nakabazzi was forced to leave after her and her former MultiChoice Uganda boss Charles Hamya's torrid extra-marital sex scandal in the office was revealed by his wife to all MultiChoice staffers in an email that shocked the MultiChoice Uganda office and damaged the DStv Uganda brand.
