CHAPTER 31
MBAJI OF IGONGOLO CLAN (BUKALANZI)
A man named Nunogo of the Igongolo clan who lived at Bukalanzi stated that Mbaji was Kintu’s son. When Mbaji came of age, Kintu gave him the country of Kalanzi, which is situated on the shores of Lake Victoria in South Busoga. Mbaji lived in mutala Bukalanzi and fought a series of battles against members of the Mpologoma clan who lived at Kityerera. In some of these fights he was victorious and in others he was defeated. The fighting between the two went on through successive generations. Despite these fights, Mbaji’s country was never conquered.
