To some people, he is just a witchdoctor but among traditionalists, Jumba Aligaweesa of Kirowooza village, Mukono, is a powerful deity, who goes by the revered title of Chief Priest (Kabona) and is the vice-chairman, in charge of central region, of Uganda Nedagala Lyayo (an organisation that brings together traditional healers and herbalists in Uganda).
Snoops say Jumba has chartered a private helicopter to fly him and his betrothed Tumusiime Kashillingi, from Mukono to Entebbe, where they will exchange their vows at the Bemba Musota Shrine and back to Mukono town where they will treat their over 300 guests (mainly traditional healers headed by Mama Fiina) to a reception.
Jumba’s wedding will be presided over by Ssalongo Mulo Musoke. Earlier this year, his chairperson, Mama Fiina, who led the traditional healers in their crusade against the sale of Mabira forest, stunned the nation when she declared her intentions to run for the Rubaga Division chairperson seat.
The seat fell vacant after the death of Winnie Makumbi. And you thought it did not pay to be a diviner?
