Seruwagi’s Ggwangamujje Buganda, Symbol Of New Brave Baganda

Posted on 28 December 2008

Upcoming Kadongo Kamu singer, Muzadde Seruwagi, has released on the most patriotic video by a Muganda ever. It is entitled Ggwangamujje Buganda. The handsome Seruwagi uses his exceptional story telling skills to express his loyalty to Ssabasajja and expose those Buganda’s enemies.

A young parent, Seruwagi impressively narrates his family history and makes it clear that he is a Muganda (”Ffe tuli Baganda tetuli Banyoro”). He tells “them” (Writer: Banyankore) that if they don’t want Obugabe that is their but they deny Baganda their right to have Obwakabaka. He decries the dictatorial regime in power today and the persecution…

The Great County of Kyadondo, Buganda

Posted on 28 December 2008

Since 1966 Uganda governments have worked hard to destroy the idea of Buganda’s counties or masaza (singular: ssaza). Presidents Obote, Amin and more recently Museveni have all established administrative units to cut up Buganda and create a system destroying the geographic integrity of Buganda and thereby make the continued existence of the kingdom impractical. Such artificial administrative units included Region, Province, District, LCs and Regional Tier. Mr. Museveni’s government has gone as far as introducing the name “Central Region” to replace “Buganda”.

Traditionally, Buganda is divided into 18 counties or masaza: Buddu, Bugerere, Bulemeezi, Buluuli, Busiro, Busujju, Butambala, Buvuma, Buweekula, Gomba, Kabula, Kooki, Kyaddondo, Kyaggwe, Mawogola, Mawokota, Ssese, Ssingo.

I Have Checked, Buganda Is Under Occupation

Posted on 14 December 2008

Dear Maama,

I was happy when Musa told me that he managed to see you and that you look excellent. He also told us that he has never tasted better “ngenge” than you cooked when he visited you. Also thank you very much for all the gifts you sent.

Maama, Musa told about your anger that Museveni has made sure that of resident district commissioners (RDCs) who implement his actions and local money spending in Buganda are from the West. And that it made you feel that Buganda is under occupation (”buwambe”). You know me, I immediately started to check it out in Google. The place I landed is Museveni’s own state house website and the evidence was right there for everyone to see.

By the way, although Museveni spent tens of millions of dollars on building the state house, his website has not been updated since October 2008. Yet simple daily updates should cost less than 500 dollars a month (if there was no corruption).

Gabunga Yosiya Kasozi of Mmamba Clan Is Very Sick

Posted on 11 December 2008

We have verified information from young members of the Mmamba clan at Makerere University that the head of the (lung fish) clan, “Jajja” Yosiya Kasozi is quite sick. Gabunga Kasozi who is over 90 years old, has been in bad general health for about a year and even having trouble to talk to his grandchildren, all the Mmamba clan members.

The first Gabunga of the Mmamba clan was Mubiru who is estimated to have been alive around the year 1250. Yosiya Kasozi is the 36th Gabunga. He ascended to the position of Gabunga in 1959, when he succeeded his late father Semyoni Galiwango Gabunga. His mother was the late Kulisitiina Noola Ndwaddewazibwa of the Nsenene clan.

A few years ago Kabaka Mutebi authorized members of the Nankere sub clan (ssiga) within Mmamba to break off and become an autonomous clan, named Mmamba Enkerekere.

Katikkiro JB Walusimbi Meets Banyala

Posted on 08 December 2008

According to a news report on the Buganda Kingdom website Buganda citizens from Bugerere county who are called Banyala visted with the Katikkiro of Buganda, Owek. JB Walusimbi in his offices at Bulange Mengo on Friday afternoon. The report adds that they “distanced them-selves from the Ssaabanyala institution. They emphasized that the institution is being forced on to them by individuals who have their own selfish needs and that their head has always been known as Nkojjo who is answerable to the Kabaka of Buganda and not to any one else.

“The group went ahead to say that, they also have a clan leader called Nsamba Fred and said that they will always oppose the Ssabanyala institution.

“The Katikkiro later promised them that he will work hand in hand with other Kingdom officials to further look into their concerns which he said should be not mixed with the Buluuli issues.”
