“My grandmother was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, she was loving, caring and a disciplinarian. She always wanted us to have character and always be humble,” Ssemwezi said.
 
Ssemwezi recalls when he was still in high school; he escaped from home and went dancing. On his way back, he found out that his escape route had been blocked. He knocked on Princess Bagaya’s window and she opened for him and made sure that his mother does not find out that he had gone out. 
 
The following day, she called him and warned him in good faith not to do it again. But she never told his mother that his son was always in clubs at night.
 
According to Ssemwezi, the deceased is survived by seven children both from his first and second marriage. She has been battling Diabetes and hypertension.
