Victoria University yesterday unveiled comic socialite Bad Black real name Shanita Namuyimbwa as the new brand ambassador.
The move has since gone viral especially on social media with some wondering if Bad Black, a school drop out is a perfect choice. However, others are in support of VU’s choice.
Nonetheless, Victoria University is currently trending at number one on Twitter.
Below are some of the humorous mixed reactions;
Bad Black as a brand ambassador for a university.. is amazing. Wild. Disruptive. Anti-clockwise thinking. Brilliant. What rules? I love it. Victoria University is pushing a strong/important accessibility message!

Without much effort Bad Black has just finished her task of promoting Victoria University. She has passed the test with flying colours. Give me a name of someone else who would have done this, and given the University this talkability in terms of real numbers on day one. Just 1

A brand ambassador is enlisted to represent a brand in positive light, and by doing so, help to increase brand awareness and drive sales. The brand ambassador embodies corporate identity, values and demeanor.

Vice chancellor Muganga. Mulimba nyo.
I don't mean to demean Black. From such a background is not the right person to represent an academic brand.
Maybe kazile, Ambiamce Waragi or anything in that sort. pic.twitter.com/i8RrHSV6lE
These largely negative sentiments online about this ambassadorial role could turn right on top of its head if for instance Victoria University is also enrolling BadBlack as a student.
