While Kibwika was at Bukonge, where he ruled over the lands given to him by his father Kibubuli, including some islands, he had a son named Kaluba. Kaluba was born on a small island known as Buyanzi - one of the Buvuma Islands. When Kaluba grew up, his father gave him lands on the mainland which became known as Buluba, after their ruler, Kaluba. Kaluba came to his lands in a boat accompanied by one called Muyobo, who had been appointed as emissary who was to hand over the lands to Kaluba. They landed at a place known as Namagera and after the presentation of the lands, which were practically uninhabited, Kaluba started cultivation.
