One of the 100 children he sired was my grand father. Legend has it that when he was captured& exiled to Sycheles, enroute there, they stopped in Nairobi to treat him & while in hospital he fathered a son with a nurse who was treating him.There are no guesses who the son was...

[Amon 👷 @rwenzori_]

By the time he died in 1923, he had fathered more than 100 children from tens of women. However, Maliza Mukakyabara Bagaya, who was the elder sister of King Kasagama of Tooro, was Kabalega’s first wife.

When Kabalega was captured and exiled to the Seychelles in 1899, she returned to Tooro Kingdom. Kasagama was the son of Prince Nyaika, a brother of King Kamurasi and father of Kabalega.

Kabalega married his first cousin – which was the norm in the great Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom of the 19th Century. Because the kings and princes married only from the royal family, it was easy for a king to marry his first cousin.

Of the more than 50 sons Kabalega had, it was Yosiya Kitayimbwa who succeeded him in 1899 when Kabalega was exiled by the British.
Another of his sons, Duhaga, also ruled the kingdom. After Duhaga died in 1924, another son, Sir Tito Gafabusa Winyi IV, took up the reins of Bunyoro. Gafabusa Winyi died in 1971.

Kabalega is buried at Mparo, three miles from Hoima town. In the same royal burial ground are found the tombs of his sons Andereya Bisereko, Sir Tito Winyi IV and some other princes. Mparo is to Bunyoro-Kitara what Kasubi is to Buganda.

After 23 years in exile in the Seychelles, the British colonisers heeded pleas from Bunyoro-Kitara and released Kabalega but on condition that he would not be allowed to become king of Bunyoro-Kitara again. He spent his last years at the traditional resting place of Banyoro at Mpumwire (Mpumudde in Rusoga). Busoga was by then part of Bunyoro-Kitara. But he was buried at Mparo in Hoima.

A British official portrait of Sir Tito Gafabusa Winyi IV, C.B.E., Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara, a prominent African traditional ruler in Uganda during the colonial period, as issued by the Central Office of Information, London.

A son of the celebrated Omukama Chwa II Kabalega, Tito Winyi succeeded his elder half-brother, Duhaga II, in 1924 and was formally installed as Omukama on 12 April that year. Before becoming king, he had received a modern education at Mengo High School and Kings College Budo, worked briefly in the colonial administration and served as a sub-county chief at Bwijanga. He had also spent several years in the Seychelles as his father Kabalega’s private secretary during Kabalega’s long exile.

Winyi inherited a kingdom whose political and territorial position had been profoundly altered by British conquest. Bunyoro had lost substantial territories during the colonial reorganisation of Uganda, including the territories later remembered by Banyoro as the “Lost Counties.” His reign was therefore marked by the difficult task of preserving Bunyoro’s institutions, political identity and royal authority within the Uganda Protectorate. In 1933 and again in 1955, agreements between the British government and Bunyoro formally defined the position of the Omukama and the Rukurato, the kingdom’s traditional governing council.

Winyi also cultivated a reputation as a modernising and unusually diplomatic monarch. He travelled to Buganda, Ankole, Kigezi and Toro, breaking with older conventions that discouraged kings from visiting one another, and became the first Omukama recorded as travelling by aeroplane. During the Second World War he travelled extensively through East Africa in support of the Allied war effort.

His relationship with the British colonial establishment was sufficiently close for him to receive the Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (C.B.E.) in 1934, presented by Uganda Governor Sir Bernard Bourdillon. He later travelled to Britain in 1948 and returned in 1953 as Bunyoro’s representative for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

Winyi remained Omukama until 1967, when President Milton Obote abolished Uganda’s traditional kingdoms. He died in 1971. His son, Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I, was later installed as Omukama when Uganda’s traditional institutions were restored in 1993–94.

We dont need a Mobilisation (car wash), the Kingdom has assets & resources that generate enough income to afford his treatment. Stop embrassing us.

[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

A fresh call has been made for the mobilisation of resources to secure specialised medical treatment for the ailing Omukama of Bunyoro Kingdom, Dr Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I.

PEOPLE WHO TREAT THEIR BIRTHDAY LIKE AN ORDINARY DAY OFTEN HAVE THESE 8 TRAITS:

The Preacher: Feeds on human fear, guilt & desire for security in the afterlife by usinv Faith Dogma & divine authority.
The Politician:They exploit society by feeding on people's taxes & collective wealth while falsely promising a better future in exchange for votes.

[Africa ni home @Africa_Ni_Home]

in africa we have two illiterate parasites , the preacher and a politician

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

@omusongora @CrystoPanda Well said! I think the cultural issues(emirwa) of Tooro kingdom should be left to the Batooro cultural leaders to interprete & enforce.

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

Could not agree with you more💯

[Dominic Ahern @dominicahern]

😂 fuck off. Stop forcing people to buy new build shit at inflated prices, in a rigged system where you get lumbered with tons of costs by con artists. It’s theft.

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

@Ainebyoona78920 Nyina Omukama... calm and regal & befits the profile & Job description of being one.

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

@DailyMonitor This is ridiculous. Ug govt should stop hidding behind silly laws to gag free speech. To paraphrase the famous last of the late George Floyd...." We can't breath". Dear powers that be, please Let Ugandans breath. #FreePraiseAloikin

I had to stop flying SN Brussels because of that. Its too blatant

[L. Nshuti Mbabazi @LucyMbabazi]

The continued segregation of travelers to Africa in @BrusselsAirport is sickening.

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

The lengths (no pun intended) we are willing to go to....... is quite disturbing.

@davimasinde I totally agree.The late Moses Matovu's stellar xontribution to Ug's Music industry mustn't be eclipsed by the circumstances of his death. He might have had his flaws (like we all do), but his life's achievements outweighed the tragedy that befell him. Lets give him his flowers.

[Liliane @TheDuchesslaw]

I can't count the number of times i have heard a client say " it's a pretty straight forward case" and it turns out to be the tip of a massive legal iceberg.

[Barred and Bearded @RileeDHarrison]

It’s always funny to me when someone says a legal issue should be “pretty straightforward.”

In the history of the legal profession nothing has ever been straightforward.

Unhappy client to pay solicitor damages for defamatory review:

It was his longest stay in the country since his controversial 8th-term win.

@ndiyoBjackson Texas Vs Tooro...If truth be told, you can not preside over a Kingdom from afar. We have a saying " Amazima gasara". Translation: The truth is bitter.
