CHAPTER 23
THE LINEAGE OF MUSEGULA OF THE NJAZA CLAN
Long ago there lived a man named Musegula, whose totem was ‘Njaza’.
This man is said to have travelled from the northern parts of Busoga and it is probable that he was of the lineage of Kibubuli. Musegula came to a chief named Okwiri Mukwanga who ruled a large piece of country which lay between the kingdoms of Ngobi-Mau and Kibalya Lagwe of Bulole. Musegula was a skilled worker of the barkcloth, and came purposely to work for the said chief as trimmer of barkcloth. Okwiri was pleased to enlist Musegula’s services. He gave him 10 mitalas in the area of Butamira, which is now known as Busegula. Once Musegula was properly established in his mitalas, he rebelled against his master and became an independent ruler.
The linaeage of Musegula is as follows:-
1. Musegula ruled Busegula and gave up his former job as barkcloth trimmer until he died.
2. Takambula succeeded his father Musegula
3. Mutesa succeeded his father Takambula
4. Kasaja succeeded his father Mutesa
5. Bwoye succeeded his father Kasaja
6. Kisakiro succeeded his father Bwoye. He was condemned to death for murder.
7. Mulenju succeeded his father Kisakiro and he was still living at the date of writing this book.
