{UAH} Mulindwa talk to me :KATIKIRO CHARLES PETER MAYIGA'S SISTER KILLED IN 1976


It was on the evening of June 22nd 1976 when Idi Amin's regime committed a heinous act. Theresa Nanziri Bukenya, then a warden of Africa Hall at Makerere University, was picked from her residence by men from the dreaded State Research Bureau. Two days later Nanziri's dead body was found with bullet wounds on the neck, at River Ssezibwa. Nanziri had joined along list of others who suffered cold death at the hands of Idi Amin.

Bear in mind that she was 7 months pregnant at the time of her murder.

Asked about the personality of Nanziri, brother to the late Nanziri, Charles Peter Mayiga, lights up with broad smile. It is the childhood memory of Nanziri driving him around the town, picking him from boarding school for holidays at her home and taking him to Nabugabo beach that elevates him.

Then 12 years old, Mayiga still recalls vividly the kind of person his sister was. "She lived a robust life and was a lively person, caring, yet firm in whatever she believed in. One time she drove us to Masaka at night to the disappointment of our parents," he recalls.
