According to history, Swale’s father, Basikania was just a clan leader of Basukali in Kikura in the DR Congo. His father is one of the clan leaders who blessed Isaya Mukirane to be the first king of Rwenzori.
The Bakonzo and Bamba do not know Tibamwenda as a prince. Let him go to Kasese and settle in his ‘shadow palace’. I believe the people he calls his subjects will welcome him in a way which he might never forget.
Let him learn from Isingoma Kisalita who claimed the kingship of Rwenzururu how he was treated in Kyabarungira. Eryeza Kasiringi Kasese
