  1. Like most African chiefs/ kings they were also collaborators in the slave trade, Kabaka must have been one of them. We should also remember them for that, slave trade😢!!!

  2. Buganda kingdom is just a name it lost all it's powers long ago, it's just a traditional institution with no powers Western Ugandans and Rwandese are going to be the majority in their land in few years. I my self like Baganda for their resilience and hardwork.

  3. I found this enjoyable to watch, i for one thiink cultural heritage should be preserved for the past dare not be forgotten. But a quick look at the comments and replies will help one realize how contentious the idea of kingdoms is, a double-edged sword that unites it's followers and at the same time divides the rest of the country and undermines collective national pride and identity in favor of tribal loyalty.

  4. Please go ahead and do atleast a 40 minute documentary about this rich Buganda History and culture … i volunteer to write the script…… this short video just covered like 1 % of the more beautiful Buganda heritage, the unique history, food, monuments, way of life , their religion…and much more

  5. It is a 1000 year old kingdom that occupies a place at the centre of Ugandan politics even if variously gagged by both the present and previous regimes. Based on these facts, I can predict with great accuracy that it will outlive all its opponents.

  6. Thanks France 24 for visiting Buganda kingdom, kindly don't forget to come back we have a lot we you didn't know, thanks again, thanks KABAKA for paying my school fees since the death of my mother up now, thanks everyone who contribute money though our ministry of education … wangala ayi KABAKA wa Buganda.. it's means long live KABAKA of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi Kimera, I will always love you my King 👑
