Mpologoma clan is among the clans in present-day Uganda that are believed to have come with Kintu. Mpologoma is a name in Luganda which means lion. Everyone belonging to the Buganda Kingdom belong to a clan, each having a totem whereas others have minor totems which they are not allowed to eat and these totems are guarded jealously. The King of Buganda is also known as "Mpologoma ya Buganda" which means the "lion of Buganda".




History


The clan started when the son to Ssekabaka Kintu called Ssebuganda went hunting together with his father. While they were hunting, they came face to face with two lions. Ssebuganda wrestled with the two lions and he managed to kill them both. Ssebuganda had a stick which he used to kill two lions and his father named the stick Luwaga. The lion's meat was taken, then prepared well for dinner. When the meat was ready, they sat down and Blessed "Ddungu" the guardian of game hunting. After eating the lion meat, they started vomiting and also suffered severe stomach pains which led them to declaring never to eat lion's meat again. Their children too were to never eat lion's meat again hence the emerging of the Mpologoma Clan.It is also believed that if they ate the lion's meat, they would develop worse complications compared to what they experienced
