TikTok is for Idlers, Content Seekers and Nonsense – Mufti Mubajje

TikTok is for Idlers, Content Seekers and Nonsense – Mufti Mubajje

The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubajje, has urged the government to ban TikTok, citing concerns over its misuse in spreading disunity and misinformation.

Speaking during Idd-ul-Fitr prayers at Old Kampala Mosque on March 30, 2025, Mubajje described the platform as a “useless” tool for idlers and content seekers that could incite violence if left unregulated.

“TikTok has become a problem, and I believe it could lead to violence. When Facebook was deemed problematic, the Ugandan government shut it down. TikTok is worse and lacks regulation,” Mubajje stated.

He criticized the platform for allegedly being used by individuals, including Muslim sheikhs, to mislead, spread falsehoods, and foster division within the Muslim community. “Even the sheikhs using TikTok are abusing people and promoting petty issues that cause disunity,” he added.

Mubajje’s remarks come amid ongoing debate on social media regulation in Uganda, particularly concerning its role in public discourse and governance.

According to the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) Annual Communications Sector Report 2023, TikTok has approximately 5.5 million users in Uganda. Despite concerns over its misuse, the government has yet to take any concrete steps toward banning the platform.

Mubajje’s call for a TikTok ban also comes at a time of internal controversy surrounding his leadership. On March 13, 2025, the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) extended Mubajje’s tenure as Mufti for another five years, alongside his deputy, Sheikh Muhammad Ali Waiswa.

The decision has faced opposition from some members of the Muslim community who argue that it violates the UMSC constitution, which mandates retirement at 70.
