RWAMPARA

In an effort to preserve and celebrate the vibrant traditions of Ankole, cultural leaders from the sub-region convened yesterday at Itaaba Kabanyoro in Rwampara District. This historic gathering aimed to restore Ankole’s unique identity and revive its cherished cultural heritage.

Itaaba Kabanyoro holds deep historical significance as the residence of the last Chwezi Wamala and the birthplace of the famed Ankole drum “Bagyendanwa,” a symbol of healing and deliverance. Against this backdrop, leaders reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding Ankole’s traditions.

A pivotal outcome of the meeting was the formation of a leadership committee tasked with spearheading cultural restoration efforts. Omuhereza Nabasa, from Kazo District, was elected as chairperson. She pledged to lead initiatives focused on mobilizing communities, preserving indigenous knowledge, and promoting cultural education. Nabasa highlighted the challenges faced by Ankole’s heritage, emphasizing the need for awareness to dispel misconceptions about cultural practices.

Prince Salim Tugume, son of Igumira Kitobobo II and great-grandson of Ntare V, warmly welcomed the delegation to Itaaba Kabanyoro, the historic heart of the Ankole Kingdom. He assured the leaders of his unwavering support for their mission to reclaim and sustain Ankole’s identity.

The Ankole Kingdom, once a flourishing Bantu monarchy in southwestern Uganda, thrived for centuries under the Omugabe’s rule. However, unlike other traditional institutions such as Buganda, Tooro, and Bunyoro, Ankole has faced significant challenges in maintaining its structures.

With renewed determination, leaders such as Rugumiriza Tumwine from Ibanda District expressed optimism for the movement’s potential to restore Ankole’s legacy. The team vowed to collaborate with local communities to preserve cultural landmarks, uphold traditional values, and ensure Ankole’s rich history is passed down to future generations.
