Too sad, too sad to blog today!

Kasubi Tombs burned.

Monitor and Vision ran the story this Morning.

I listened to the radio this morning, Men and women howled amidst desperate attempts to put out the raging flames. A man having taken charge, pleaded with the enraged crowd; 'stay calm' and 'don't riot' and 'Enough Buganda blood shed already'

I am sad, i am so sad..

I know the media is going to step gingerly over this one, what with CBS that has never reopened since last years chapter!!

  1. Now you wait for the government officials who are going to beat a path to Bulange offering wads of ill-gotten cash to pay for reconstruction. It is not difficult to see how this could have been planned by government functionaries looking to 'warn' the Kabaka, and then offering reconstruction money to reap political benefits from Buganda.

  2. Well said.
    It could be a very dangerous Russian roulette game of politics which could go either way.
    The mausoleum was destroyed along with the dignity of the Buganda relics, even if the government officials swoop in with their feckless 'help' in terms of millions to reconstruct, it will never be the same.

    And that makes me sad.
