Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Bwamba Cultural institution in Bundibugyo District, western Uganda is mourning the death of Queen Mother Nansoliya Rhoda Kawamala.<\/p>\n

The mother of Lt Col Martin Kamya Ayongi, the king of the Obudhigiya bwa bwamba, died on Thursday morning at 1am.<\/p>\n

The cultural institution spokesperson, the Rev Geoffrey Kyomuhendo, said the queen mother died in Kampala where she was staying with her daughter.<\/p>\n

He said the funeral arrangements shall be conducted with a limited number of people with strict observance of SOPs.On June 6, President Museveni directed that only 20 people be allowed at any burial ceremony to avoid the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

He said those with condolences should send them through their chiefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have contacted A-plus for funeral services and the body is still in Kampala, with the exact date for the burial yet to be communicated,\u201d the Rev Kyomuhendo said.<\/p>\n

Mr Sebugyo Gideon Katuramu from the Balungu \u2013Bandibugyo clan described the deceased as a strong and hardworking lady who used to cook food for the three Rwenzururu founders during their struggle for the independence of Bamba-Bakonzo in 1960s.<\/p>\n

He also said the queen mother was a traditional birth attendant who helped deliver many pregnant mothers in the area.\u201cWe expect her to be buried at Kawamala Memorial Grounds, also known as Boma grounds in Bundibugyo Town Council, a place where her late husband Yeremiya Kawamala is buried\u201d, Mr Sebugyo said.<\/p>\n

He said the deceased has been battling high blood pressure but the cause of her death is yet to be known.<\/p>\n

The kingdom premier, Mr Wilson Mubulya, said they are in touch with members of the royal family in Kampala to bring the body home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know everyone wants to come and attend the burial but at this time it\u2019s impossible because of Covid-19. We are coordinating with the office of the LC5 chairperson, RDC, CAO and prime minister,\u201d Mr Mubulya said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
