Sekyanzi’s latest property which has been put under the hammer by K&K Advocates , is located in Kyadondo Block 246, plot 2183 kyeitabya-Bukasa and is seated on 0.093 hectares , will be autioned on or about 14th January 2021, if he fails to pay his debt .
Sekyanzi, who has run several entertainment business which include ; former club Silk then stationed in industrial area, Silk events and promotions , with the latest being the now closed Liquid Silk Rendezvous in Naalya and Bugolobi, has until recently been one of the biggest local investors, employing hundreds of people and paying millions of shillings to URA .
In 2017 a local tabloid revealed that Sekyanzi had allegedly lost many of his properties including his prized Mercedes Benz Cross Country G55, his mansion along Luthuli Avenue and part of his ‘big’ Silk Events trailers, a story he trashed at the time .
It was at about that time that he secured a deal with Prophet Mbonye’s church then situated at the Kyadondo rugby grounds worth over 20M every Tuesday, to provide overheads like tents, chairs, toilets and sound through his silk events .

However, it is when he let his guard down and let his co-share holders of the franchise, that signs of collapse started to emerge.
