As Ntare counts down to 70 years, few stories embody the spirit of the Den quite like that of Mr. G. L. Gumisiriza affectionately known as Uncle Guma.
A pioneer student and later headmaster of Ntare from 1983 to 1985, Uncle Guma holds a distinction unmatched in the school’s history: he legally spent eight years at Ntare—without repeating a single class—in an institution that ordinarily shapes boys in six. His remarkable journey came full circle when he returned to lead the very school that had shaped him.
The Den’s story runs deep in the Gumisiriza family. His son and grandchildren have also walked the same corridors, making his family one of the few to span generations of Ntare men.
Yet what truly sets Uncle Guma apart is not simply that he has witnessed almost all seven decades of the Lion’s roar, but that he continues to engage, mentor, and mingle effortlessly with younger Old Boys. He remains a living bridge between Ntare’s pioneering years and its future.
His fascinating story, captured in his own book, will be shared during Ntare’s 70th anniversary celebrations a fitting tribute to a true Lion who has seen, shaped, and lived the history of the Den.
Uncle Guma is not merely part of Ntare’s history; he is one of its enduring custodians.
@KCCAUG@DokitaSharon@Buzeki_Sharifah@dstrkt24_kla Hotels are losing business on luwum street because of noise from street preachers. Your noise pollution department has done nothing about it after so many complaints. Very useless department
@KCCAUG@DokitaSharon@Buzeki_Sharifah@dstrkt24_kla@KCCAUG your noise pollution department is extremely useless. I have severally complained about the loud noise from street preachers on luwum street but nothing is done. Your staff came and visited only to beg the preachers to reduce volume.
