The Magaraba

With Shem Mbulika at his home in Lusuka village

From WaDemesi ahead to Iduku but forward before Vusamo, a village called Lusuka, the great grandchild of Magaraba, Shem Mbilika, 82, dwells.

It is a tale of Busali, Lunyerere and Lusuka migration journey.

Kadinyiru begot Magaraba, Misango of Hamadira, Rogedi of Vigina and Namudinga of wiRiviri.

Magaraba begot Karemera of Lusuka, Dasi of Lunyerere and Mbaisi Kisieza of Vusamo in one woman. In another he begot Musinde of Lusuka and Dangana of Vunandi.

Shem Mbuliko saw Karemera in life, he even gave him a piece of embeva (roasted rat), naria. Then was when zisigi would come. In 1942 the year he died they were there. In 1952 the zisigi tried coming but they just passed. Since then there have never been such sights of wonder.

Karemera would then begot Amadara of Iduku, Andaya of Idako and Muruma of Iduku. He had three daughters. Due to the Kipande system, though born in 1897, Andaya would write 1910. It was so because people were unsure of their birth years and to also stay longer in employment, you needed to be 'younger'.

And then Andaya would begot Shem Mbulika of Lusuka village and Francis Ijaika of Iduku. Both would train in printing services. One book, A History of the Baluyia was given to me by Shem, worth reading and commenting on. They used to print and bind such colonial literacies.

He got a son and the son got a son.

And more importantly they have a Saniaga registered group, a self help. Making it even better for them to link with other Saniaga groups on this forum. We shall therefore be engaging them more on this.
