This name, Mbimwa.

-: Gwonya dave but Bwonya my grandfather

-: Phew! Errors of oral report... Moreso when elders speak. Patrick is Badurich. 😄. 

- You can now inform the finding better. Is it not pronounced /vwonya/? 

- It is Ambuzi, Inanga, Bwonya and Misigo who settled at Bugina, right? 

- Aluda, Nyabera, Mwara, Murimi, Rwane at Vudira in Budaywa, right? 

- Jumba settled a valley bottom away from Bugina, Vibwoni. 

Let me know about all that. 

Thanks

-: Lung'azo sons include Lwane whom I think was the youngest son. The other is not Gwonya but Bwonya my grandpa.

-: Senge, now you are well in my mind. Earlier on I had an abstract ancestry of you. Now it is explained. And more others here.

-: Mmmmmmmhhh!!! Thank you for This piece. I'm from Bugina. Lung'atso is my great grandpa and Ambutsi my Grandpa.

-: Yee. Evans my bro. We grew up I Vugina. Lung'atso our great grandpa had 12 sons from what I was told. Some are in Bugina & others in Chamakanga but Lwane was somewhere in Busali.
One of the sons was Mwilala as I was told. I think he was called Mwala. Any of the family members to confirm.
In Bugina there was Thomas Ambuzi, Benjamin Bwonya, Andrew Jumba and Misigo whose other name And can't remember. 
There is also the Kazende family in Bugina that is what immediately related to the Lung'atsos. Kazi iendelee.

-: Good memory auntie, Inanga and Mbimwa in addition to Lung'atso sons who lived in Bugina

-: Another Lung'atso son in Bugina was Reuben Inanga who was younger than Lwane. I think he died in 2006.

-: There was also Mbimwa in Bugina

-: interested in the name mbimwa

-: We need to know who Mbimwa was. Where the name came from. 

As for you, Papa, your name Mbimwa, I was told by Simon Amugongo of Handidi that when you were born, you were given the name Joshua but the second one was still not. 

So it was asked what name to give you. 

Simon Amugongo was then working at Itando Technical Institute and was living at your father's home, Wangulu. He had a bicycle, cycling daily, traversing at Mudete, Wa Digula, Munoywa and then down to Itando. He later left working there because his students (now grandfathers) used to steal his tools. 

At home, you newly born, he was told you are called Joshua. And they thought, which name would fit you. Back at Handidi, there was a Saniaga called Joshua Mbimwa. So he said Mbimwa. And there you are. 

- 😄
