Bukuku and the Battle of the Classes
600 years ago in the Kingdom of Kitara, Oral Tradition tells of the time a palace gateman called Bukuku led a troop of Bairu (farmers/ commoners) in rebellion against the ruling pastoralists. They fought fiercely; the pastoralists for supremacy and, the commoners for freedom!
Omukama Isaza Rugambanabato having been subdued by Nyamiyonga(the King of the underworld) left the Kingdom to his caretaker Bukuku, Since Isaza never returned, Bukuku took over the throne.
The different chiefs of the amasaza refused to subdue to Bukuku that they will not be ruled by a commoner.
Kogere the Saza Chief of Busongora, an Aunt of Omukama Isaza, led an army to ouster Bukuku, to her astonishment and the many Saza chiefs, Bukuku and the commoners fought a fierce battle that saw them gain victory,
