The Buganda Royal family has been thrown into doubt following a revelation by the Queen (Nnaabagereka) that she had given birth to twins back in 2010.
The supposed revelation raises serious questions about how the twins remained hidden from the public eye for over a decade. However, the recent statement by Mr Abdul Malik Migadde, the Kasujju Lubinga of Buganda Kingdom, casts doubt on the Queen’s claim.
As the chief caretaker of the King’s children and an elder of the kingdom, Migadde issued a statement denying that Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi had sired any twins. Migadde explained that no twin rituals had been conducted in the palace, adding that if the Kabaka had twins, well-known rituals would have been carried out.
“If the Kabaka had twins, like any other Muganda there are well-known rituals that have to be done. No such rituals have happened so far,” he said.
Migadde went on to explain that the twins referenced in the Queen’s upcoming memoir could be related to the king or queen, but not their biological children. He noted that historically and traditionally, the king and his wives could raise children, both related or unrelated to them, in the palace. These children call the king their father, but unlike the princes and princesses, they don’t call him their “Mugema.”
“These children don’t undergo any rituals concerning the King’s children, and they don’t get introduced to the kingdom. Right now, there are more than one such children in the palace,” he added.
The recent statement by the Kasujju Lubinga has raised new questions and doubts about the Buganda Royal family, with many, left wondering about the true identity of the supposed hidden twins. The last known Buganda king who had twins was Saudi Chwa, who had twins Kalemera and Kiggala in 1925.
The Buganda Royal family’s supposed hidden twins have left many confused and in doubt. As the mystery deepens, many questions remain unanswered.
