Grief as Kabaka Mutebi’s mother Siwoza is laid to rest

Buganda Kingdom woke up on news that the Caretaker mother of the Kabaka of Buganda Margret Nagawa Siwoza had breathed her last on Wednesday last week.

She had been sick for some time but lost the battle to a stroke at her home in Katuuso-Buziga in Makindye Division.

Namasole Siwoza was laid to rest at he ancester ground in Kyaluwajjala, Kyaddondo on Monday December 6, 2021.

Siwoza became Kabaka’s caretaker mother through the hereditary lineage of the cultural title of Namase, an official mother of a reigning Kabaka.

Kabaka Mutebi was born to the Late Sarah Lule kisonsonkole and the First President of Uganda Kabaka Edward Mutesa II.

When Kisosonkole died in 1974, her roles as queen mother were taken over by Rebecca Zirimbuga Musoke, after the coronation of Sabataka Mutebi as Kabaka but when she died in 2013, Siwoza took over her roles.

After days of cultural rites, with the committee instituted to organize her burial led by Deputy Katikiro Robert Wagwa Nsibirwa, she was laid to rest in Kyaliwajala on the outside of Uganda’s Capital Kampala yesterday evening.
