Busoga’s royal wedding that has united the kingdom again

In a momentous event that transcended historical divides, the Saturday November 18, royal wedding between Kyabazinga William Wilberforce Gabula and Jovia Mutesi symbolized the harmonious union between the Chiefdoms of Bugabula and Bunha, two of the 11 chiefdoms within Busoga Kingdom. The wedding, a culmination of anticipation and cultural significance, showcased a remarkable convergence of unity and celebration among the Basoga people.

The vibrant streets of Busoga witnessed an outpouring of joy and unity as hundreds of thousands of devoted loyalists and supporters lined the streets, echoing jubilations and ululations. The cultural leader, His Royal Highness Kyabanzinga William Gabula Nadiope IV, exchanged vows with Inhebantu (mother of the people) Jovia Mutesi, marking a historic moment for the Busoga Kingdom.

This union carries immense significance, serving as a unifying force among the Basoga people, who have experienced historical divisions in the past. The solemn exchange of vows, presided over by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, His Grace Dr. Samuel Steven Kazimba Mugalu, signifies a new chapter of harmony and cohesion within the kingdom.

Previously, Busoga Kingdom, consisting of 11 chiefdoms headed by princes, witnessed opposing factions vying for the Kyabazingaship, resulting in a fragmented landscape. Disagreements stemming from historical compromises and struggles had led to disunity and challenges in succession.

Obwakyabazinga bwa Busoga (the kingdom of Busoga) is comprised of 11 chiefdoms, each headed by a royal chief who form the royal chiefs’ council mandated to appoint a Kyabazinga from amongst themselves. In 2014, the chiefs appointed Gabula as the new Kyabazinga, taking over from Henry Wako Muloki, who had passed on the previous year. Edward Columbus Wambuzi, the son of the former Kyabazinga also laid claim to the throne. Wambuzi, had earlier enthroned himself claiming the kingship was hereditary.

When a meeting to pick the new Kyabazinga was held, Wambuzi stayed away and later challenged the decision to crown Gabula in court. Over the years, Gabula has managed to restore calm in the kingdom, backed by the powerful former Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda, Rebecca Kadaga, who also hails from Busoga.

However, the royal wedding between Kyabazinga Gabula and Jovia Mutesi serves as a catalyst for unity, bridging gaps and fostering a renewed sense of solidarity among the Basoga people. This monumental event transcended past disputes, symbolizing a collective step towards reconciliation and shared aspirations for a harmonious future.

In the aftermath of this joyous occasion, the Busoga Kingdom stands united, embracing a newfound spirit of togetherness and common purpose. The wedding has set the stage for a cohesive and empowered Basoga community, rising above historical divisions and embracing a future guided by unity and collective progress.

As the Basoga people move forward, the royal wedding stands as a testament to the resilience and strength of their cultural heritage, ushering in an era of harmony, cooperation, and shared identity within the Busoga Kingdom.
