September 2024

Kabalega Foundation, in collaboration with the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom, and Hoima City Council, unveiled the Kabalega Independence Run 2024 Kit and held a Media Briefing yesterday at Hoima Resort Hotel. This year’s event builds on the inaugural run held in 2023, which celebrated 100 years of Omukama Cwa II Kabalega’s legacy since his passing. The theme for this year’s run, set for October 5, 2024, at Hoima Booma Grounds, is “Run to celebrate a hero's legacy. Run for a green future.”

147 years ago, on this day, Omukama Kabalega met Dr. Emin Pasha, a governor of the Equatorial province. They met on 22nd September 1877 at Omukama Kabalega's Palace in Mparo. Dr Pasha had come to Bunyoro to convince Omukama Kabalega to allow Bunyoro to be part of the Egyptian Province of Equatoria. Dr. Pasha spent 33 days in Hoima. He talked to Omukama Kabalega through an Arabic interpreter. But Omukama Kabalega was fluent in many languages including Arabic. Omukama Kabalega rejected Dr.
