Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A sombre mood engulfed Residents of Nsambya Village, Sembabule District, Monday afternoon as mourners gathered to give Angelina Nabakooza, a woman who was much-admired for hiding the Kabaka at the height of the 1966 Buganda crisis, a befitting send off.<\/p>\n

Nabakooza has been considered a heroine among the Baganda until her death. Having been born on February 19, 1912, Nabakooza celebrated her 110th birthday early this year.<\/p>\n

During the requiem mass, sorrow and grief were evidently written on the faces of relatives, Buganda loyalists and government representatives.<\/p>\n

Rev Fr John Paul Ntambazi of Sembabule Catholic Parish, who led the mass, said the deceased was very humble, jolly and above all loved his kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cNabakooza has been selfless and brave, that is why we are all here. I implore you to emulate her by being trustworthy to people as she did to Sir Edward Muteesa II,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaker after speaker applauded the deceased for her courage and noble qualities.<\/p>\n

Buganda Katikkiro (Premier) Mr Charles Peter Mayinga, who was the chief mourner, said the deceased decided to protect her King without expecting any reward.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can be heroes or heroines in different ways. Nabakooza has been a true lover of the kingdom and a patriot, her name is deeply engraved in the history of Buganda and we will always remember her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mawogola North Member of Parliament, Ms Shartsi Kuteesa thanked the late for setting a good example by protecting the Kabaka as a woman and mother.<\/p>\n

Nabakooza was born on February 19, 1912, in Buyinja Village in Kibinge Sub County, Bukomansimbi District and got married to the late Simon Kayongo and produced 12 children.<\/p>\n

At age of 54, she decided to be brave and hid sir Edward Muteesa II who was being hunted by Obote\u2019s soldiers.<\/p>\n
