Busoga chiefdoms


This was found in South Eastern Uganda, East of the Victoria Nile river. Each chiefdom had a number of small chiefdoms which were not united under one single leader. 

Unlike the Kabakas of Buganda, Basoga cultural supreme leaders are members of a royal clan, selected by a combination of chiefs from other chiefdoms.

The title of Kyabazinga was created during the colonial British rule in Uganda. This is when all kingdoms came together to form a united. Busoga chiefdom under the leadership of a Kyabazinga which position is maintained even today.
