They are both tall dark people, yes but they differ very much.. There could have been intermarriages between them but the Bahima are likely to have come from Meroe, a kingdom whose remains have been found in Sudan neighboring Ethiopia and Egypt. They might have passed through Sudan on their way looking for green pastures. Their origin is subject to alot of debate but they are definitely Cushites. The Tutsi are very similar to the Oromo people of Ethiopia and might have also moved to Rwanda due to internal conflicts in their areas. The Bantu equally migrated from Central Africa, Our ancestors all came from somewhere in search for better lives, lands etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-12920060529100161102017-07-09T07:01:10.200-07:002017-07-09T07:01:10.200-07:00Basimba means a Big Lion in Swahili language and B...Basimba means a Big Lion in Swahili language and Basimba Leopard Clan means (The Big Lion Clan of the Leopard Totem)Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-43170455046523245402017-04-22T05:16:38.324-07:002017-04-22T05:16:38.324-07:00Lulu the truth about Basimba is on the net under a...Lulu the truth about Basimba is on the net under a wikipedia article Basimba people which has all the facts about these peopleKatunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-14763256673249956672016-11-22T02:29:33.070-08:002016-11-22T02:29:33.070-08:00His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni while launch...His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni while launching a Book on Banyabushozi revealed himself to be a Muhororo.Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-32873392102707367662016-09-27T05:41:48.015-07:002016-09-27T05:41:48.015-07:00Basimba Leopard Clan Collateral Consanguinity

Might it be a coincident that the Basimba Leopard Clan ancestor Namuyonjo might have been related to Namuyonjo the son of King Kamurasi of Bunyoro? <br /><br />Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-25020893444958349352016-09-17T07:43:15.678-07:002016-09-17T07:43:15.678-07:00The late Katunku Nicholas deserves to be Honoured ...The late Katunku Nicholas deserves to be Honoured with a medal by Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Government for financing the late Balaki Kirya in exile during Amins regime and saving Obbo of Nasenyi,Kamonkoli, Budaka District who was found in transporting people from Tanzania believed to among the forces which had come to over throw Amin from being put to firing squad in 1979.Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-39396157910924278602016-09-17T07:22:14.547-07:002016-09-17T07:22:14.547-07:00The family of the late Katunku Nicholas of the Bas...The family of the late Katunku Nicholas of the Basimba Leopard Clan was the first Basimba family which stayed in exile in the Republic of Kenya together with the late Balaki Kirya, Adok Nekyon among others from 1981 to 1986Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-31614491734768746562016-09-17T07:18:24.515-07:002016-09-17T07:18:24.515-07:00The late Katunku Nicholas was the first Musimba of...The late Katunku Nicholas was the first Musimba of the Basimba Leopard Clan to own a Mercedez Benz 230 in 1979-1982Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-23460375231011827152016-09-17T07:14:35.988-07:002016-09-17T07:14:35.988-07:00It is interesting that the first Basimba Leopard C...It is interesting that the first Basimba Leopard Clan son to join Nsuka University, Anambra State, Nigeria was Katunku Namuyonjo William son of the Late Katunku Nicholas.Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-66626150181118250562016-09-17T06:27:11.180-07:002016-09-17T06:27:11.180-07:00Tanganyika Notes and Records - Issues 38-50 - Page...Tanganyika Notes and Records - Issues 38-50 - Page 167<br />https://books.google.co.ug/books?id=rKsaAQAAMAAJ<br />1955 - Snippet view - More editions<br />According to local tradition the original inhabitants were a clan called the Basimba who lived in the area of Busere on the south-east of the island, but it is not known what language they spoke and there are none of their descendants surviving ...<br />Tanzania Notes and Records - Issues 42-45 - Page 54<br />https://books.google.co.ug/books?id=xxIOAQAAMAAJ<br />1956 - Snippet view - More editions<br />According to local tradition the original inhabitants were a clan called the Basimba who lived in the area of Busere on the south-east of the island, but it is not known what language they spoke and there are none of their descendants surviving ...<br /><br />Katunku Joshua Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969550404369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-53837590901636989222016-09-17T06:20:45.923-07:002016-09-17T06:20:45.923-07:00Among the great Basimba Clan sons the late Katunku...Among the great Basimba Clan sons the late Katunku Nicholas who was the first Musimba to own the largest Bookshop in Eastern Uganda and one of the eldest companies in Uganda under the names of N.

Yo...It is interesting to read what you have posted. You have to note that Bashambo are not where they are by accident. They played an important role in both pre-independence and post independence Uganda. Hon Muhwezi and the Late Fred Kitaburaza are examples of Bashambo who participated in the liberation of this country from past oppressive regimes. Hon Karekaho Kham was an active politician in the 1980s and his contribution cannot be down played. He was voted overwhelmingly because of the goodwill of his father - Karegyesa. During his time he introduced exotic breeds of cows - Guernsey into Uganda and was actually very popular because he delivered. There contribution has not been in selfish interest but in the interest of contributing to the development of this country.<br />Even during pre indepedence it is on record that Karegyesa introduced the growing of cash crops and the construction of pit latrines in <br />Rujumbura and those who refused to comply had to migrate from Rujumbura. with him there was no compromise and he left a legacy and it is only those with selfish interests who try to demonise his regime.<br /><br />In future it would be good for those writing about the Bashambo to clearly relay the facts and not distort them by only pinpointing their shortcomings but rather a balanced story could suffice.<br /><br />Mr Kashambuzi Eric is a very knowledgeable man and it is clear he has done extensive research but in all his writings i have never seen him write anything good about the Bashambo. His writings are clearly biased and meant to tarnish the leadership by the Bashambo and yet some of their contributions are so visible.<br /><br />If Mr Kashambuzis stories are to be believed he needs to be fair in his presentation. For example if i asked him who put up the first radio station in Rukungiri i would be interested in listening to his answer.<br /><br />Politics and leadership in this country is not reserved for any tribe or clan but for all and so his efforts to demonise certain ethnic groups to destroy their opportunities in taking part in the leadership of this country will certainly not yield any fruits because people are now maturing and cannot be deceived by distorted facts. Stories aimed at inciting or marginalising certain ethic groups can easily be sensed and will certainly be rejected.<br /><br />Edward Makobore<br /><br />Edward Makoborehttps://www.facebook.com/edward.makobore?fref=tsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041660441517709991.post-53136759856276650542012-02-20T16:19:17.743-08:002012-02-20T16:19:17.743-08:00It is very interesting to read this.
