They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads.

-: 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. 

- 😄
