The Kabaka is the title of the King of Buganda. As per traditions of the Baganda, they are ruled by two kings: one spiritual and the other - a human being prince. The spiritual (supernatural being) king is represented by the Royal Drums called Mujaguzo and always exists, thus Buganda at any single time will always have a king. Mujaguzo, like any other king in the world, has his own palace, officials, servants and guards assigned to his palace. The human being prince has to perform special cultural rites on the Royal Drums before he can be declared King of the Kingdom of Buganda. Upon the birth of a royal prince or princess, the Royal Drums are sound by specially nominated drummers (by birth) from a specified clan, as a means of informing the subjects of the Kingdom, of the birth of new member of the royal family. The same Royal Drums are sound upon the death of a reigning king in the same way, to officially announce the death of the human being king. ...more on Wikipedia about "Kabaka of Buganda" The view on http://www.shortopedia.com.

Mwanga II Basammula Ekkere ( 1868 - 1903) was the last monarch of an independent Buganda. He succeeded his father Mutesa I in 1884. Mwanga saw the greatest threat to his rule coming from the Christian missionaries that had gradually been penetrating the country. His father had tried to play-off Catholics against Protestants and thus balance the influence of the colonial powers that were backing each group. Mwanga took a much more aggressive approach expelling missionaries and insisting Christian converts abandon their faith on pain of torture or death. A number of young pages killed became known as the Martyrs of Uganda and were canonized in 1964. In 1885 he had the incoming archbishop James Hannington murdered on the border of his kingdom. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mwanga II of Buganda"
