Categories: baju

A Musoga from Bunya. He was captured by a Muganda worrier Nagatto who treated him as his own son and gave him the name of his own clan, the Edible Rat (Tryonomys Swinerenuanus – Musu)

Mulumba because of his faithfulness and Justice was promoted to various posts, the highest being assistant county chief of Bulemeezi and Ssingo consecutively. He had many wives but fought hard to remain one Kikuwambuzza or Kikuwa as his legal wife.

Mulumba was a faithful courageous, penitent and powerful Leader. He died the most brutal and Lingering death at Old Kampala from 27th to 30th May 1886.

His Limbs were cut off first, stript of flesh cut from his back and stayed in the state without a complaint for three days praying for his country and executioners. He was about 50 years old.

Mulumba was the ideal chief and follower of Christ, meek and humble. Due to him humility, Mulumba, thought a big chief, used to carry his own luggage instead of giving it to his servants. He used to fast and make mortifications.

Mulumba is the patron of chiefs and Families.
