      As the questions seem to have calm down, we’d love to send all our thanks to those who participated.

      Nothing in the past few centuries has been more entertaining than this. The Muchwezi will be sure to tell the next generation about this epic afternoon.

      We’ll be on standby for any more questions and wait in hope that we’ve inspired more Bachwezi amongst you ?…

      Mugabe Victor writes on Muwado as VictorTheMuchwezi. He also draws and writes for the Brain Bro comic

      Wilson Mutebi has published his book on Amazon. ? Hope he checks this out and send a link ?

      How we met…? ? Victor found Susan’s English assignment from senior 4 lying around…? Then he secretly read through it.

      Then Wilson met Victor in high school. He was in the process of writing his first book (White Walker). Victor suggested the death of the main character and they argued over it till this day. ?

      Guess that sums that up.

      This project was started by Mugabe who consulted friends and a few relatives who he believed in.
      Generally, we are now friends with a common mission.

      @Pius. Religion is one of the fundamentals of setting up a decent civilization, a ground for setting the boundaries of morality and a sector which has been known for flexing our creativity muscles ?. As much as people may deny it in this generation, religion is fundamental to the growth of individuals and communities.

      As for the pettiness ??? the better for us story tellers

      Religions and gods…Faith in general is a beautiful gift; so long as it isn’t used as an excuse to inflict any kind of hurt on others.

      Thank you Roland. In 5 years, we’d like to see Africa embrace their history. The way the world has embraced the Samurai sword as an epic tool of battle and myth, so should the African spear. As Uganda, we are rich in tradition and folklore, it’s potential that shouldn’t be ignored.

      As writers we would like to grow The Muchwezi group with more writers. Plenty of stories lie I’m the wait and only 3 people are not enough to tackle them all.

      Our sources are always as broad as possible. Ranging from Wikipedia to oral tradition. This particular story has different versions on various websites like bedsidereadings.com, http://www.buganda.com, among others

      Yes, Pius, and hopefully it will keep happening for as far back into history as we can get.
      Gulu, a strict king hoping for his kingdom’s prosperity and his children’s empowerment.
      His children, like many of us today, doing their best to live their best lives with the talents at hand.
      Kintu, a man whose bliss is pulverized by so much knowledge at once.
      The motivation behind all this is basically a search for something bighter in life – something most of us can relate to.

      The plan is to make a Ugandan based thing. The one thing that’s for sure is that all ethnicities despite the so called colonial “tales” interacted in one way or another… Giipir and Labong probably knew Isaza at some point of time ?

      At the start, writing as group was difficult, however, with a couple of ? pizza meetings and Virtual clan meetings ?, everyone was able to capture the flow.

      @James K. The next story being tackled will be The story of Kintu and his sons. ? A perfect tie in to the Kintu and Nambi story. It will be ?mwwaaa

      Baale, thank you for that compliment.
      Positive feedback helps a great deal. This story is just the beginning. It is one that has been retold for ages, with limitless evidence and taboos surrounding it.
      All these aspects convince us that there is more to it than oral tradition could let us know.

      Hello Nancy
      The name was inspired by the”Abachwezi”, who influenced Ugandan history broadly. Despite their roots in Bantu culture, we aim at basing on their stories to prove the interaction between various ethnic groups and tribes in Uganda. Keep following our stories to see how Uganda is one.
