Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The prayers, led by senior Muslim clerics, offered an opportunity for family, friends, and admirers to reflect on Hajjat Kakungulu’s life and legacy.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hajjat Sarah Kakungulu, mother of Prince Kassim Nakibinge, was laid to rest today at Namasumbi in Mukono District after a day of mourning and prayers.<\/p>\n

Funeral rites commenced at Kibuli Mosque, where large crowds of mourners, including members of the Muslim community, political leaders, and dignitaries, gathered to bid farewell to a woman celebrated for her contributions to faith and culture.<\/p>\n

The prayers, led by senior Muslim clerics, offered an opportunity for family, friends, and admirers to reflect on Hajjat Kakungulu’s life and legacy.<\/p>\n

Tributes highlighted her dedication to the Muslim faith and her role in preserving Buganda\u2019s cultural values.<\/p>\n

Charles Peter Mayiga, the Katikkiro of Buganda, described Kibuli Hill as a cornerstone of Buganda and Muslim heritage, underscoring Hajjat Sarah’s vital role in shaping both communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cKibuli Hill is not only significant to Buganda but also a beacon of faith for Muslims. When Badru Kakungulu died, Hajjat Kakungulu remained and has been shaping the Muslim community. Hajjat Sarah Kakungulu has been a cornerstone in the promotion of Buganda\u2019s cultural heritage, and her legacy will remain with us,\u201d Mayiga said.<\/p>\n

President Museveni, represented by Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja, praised Hajjat Sarah and her late husband, Badru Kakungulu, for their contributions to Uganda\u2019s liberation struggle.<\/p>\n

Nabbanja urged mourners to celebrate Hajjat Sarah\u2019s life and emulate her virtues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe late Hajjat Kakungulu and her husband greatly supported the NRA during the bush war. He was a sympathizer of our struggle. Let us remember her legacy,\u201d Nabbanja read in the President\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Mahad Kakooza, Deputy Supreme Mufti of Uganda, commended Hajjat Sarah for her honesty and integrity, encouraging all believers to live by her example.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout her, it\u2019s hard. She lived a life of honesty and righteousness, which we should all strive to emulate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Representing the Kakungulu family, Prince Khalifani Lukanga expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and called for unity among the mourners.<\/p>\n

Notable attendees included the Nnabagereka of Buganda Sylvia Nagginda, Prince Wasajja, and NUP leaders Robert Kyagulanyi and Joel Ssenyonyi.<\/p>\n

After the prayers at Kibuli, the body was transported to Namasumbi in Mukono, where Hajjat Sarah was laid to rest at 2pm.<\/p>\n

The burial ceremony was attended by close family, religious leaders, and other dignitaries.<\/p>\n

Hajjat Kakungulu passed away on December 30, 2024, at the age of 79, following complications from kidney disease. She died at International Hospital Kampala, where she had been receiving treatment.<\/p>\n
