Quotes


"Ndawula himself was a man of peace; he reigned long and had a very large family. The turbulence of Ndawula's numerous sons broke the tranquil atmosphere he had established in the country."

MM Semakula Kiwanuka, A History of Buganda, 1971
"Ndawula was an excellent king, good natured and peaceful. He was always on the best of terms with his chiefs."
