1.Mutambuka, head of the Baheesi clan at the time of colonial invasion, had 27 wives. He refused to join the anti-colonial Nyabingyi movement led by Muhumuza and this forced Muhumuza to fight him before attacking the colonialists. Mutambuka sought safety with the invading British forces and his forces combined with the British forces to defeat the anti-colonial Nyabingyi movement. – page 47, Murindwa Rutanga, Politics, Religion and Power in the Great Lakes Region.

2.The MAKING of the BAFURUKI Phenomenon: (Excerpt from Paul Ngologoza, Kigezi and its People pages 83 -84)
"... population increase continued especially in the counties of Ndorwa and Rukiga. This led to lawlessness in these counties as a result of cases mostly concerning land, and this brought great difficulty to the chiefs. A person would simply jump into his friend's field and sow his seed after cultivating it, saying, "Even if I lose the case I will get the yield from this field". Others would surprise their friends by gathering their own people and digging their fields, starting very early before dawn when mist would still be down, so that by the time mist disappeared they would have finished one or two plots; the owner of the land would come and find his garden was already cultivated and then he would struggle to get fees for taking the offenders to court. Even the young people were complaining about land."
