  • Description: Kawulu, a Ganda man, was a cannibal. One day he met a woman, he caught her, killed her and ate her. The Hima people reported the matter to the police and Kawulu was taken to prison. After he was caught the Ganda denied everything saying they were never cannibals, but rather it was the Soga people who had done this dreadgul thing. So the case was heard in Jinja instead of in Kampala, but eventually he confessed and was hanged. So it was a Ganda and not a Soga who was proved to be a cannibal. Topical song with Ntongoli bowl lyre.
