The Busoga kingdom is located in Eastern Uganda. It's one of the 5 monarchies of Uganda.
Today I talk about the pre-colonial beginnings of Busoga.
Kintu and Mukama are two men mentioned as being the fathers of the people who founded the many states that comprised this kingdom. Enjoy. :)
There is a podcast version of today's episode. Please search for "Those Who Came Before Us" on any of your favourite platforms.
