KASESE: Kilembe Mines Golf Club once again attracted a massive crowd of Rwenzururu Kingdom subjects, who gathered to celebrate the 58th anniversary of their king’s ascension to the throne.
While some enjoyed traditional liquor, others danced and sang to folk songs, accompanied by the melodious sounds of the traditional xylophone. The crowd braved the scorching sun, waiting patiently until around 1 o’clock, when the Rwenzururu leader finally arrived.
He was carried on a beautifully crafted wooden boat, draped in royal attire, and waved majestically to his loyal subjects, who had traveled from as far as the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Kassanda in central Uganda.
