The subjects of the Kabaka residing in New England Boston, America, celebrated the 31st anniversary of the Kabaka's coronation to the throne of his ancestors.

They organised this celebration through sports competitions held by their clans.

The games included running, tug of war, sack racing, egg-and-spoon races, and more.

The Kabaka's representative in this county, Mr. Henry Matovu Ndawula, attended the games and expressed his gratitude to the Ggwanga Mujje Boston organisation for organising these annual events.

This year, the theme focused on fostering unity among the Kabaka's people in this region.

He also thanked the parents who brought their young children, as it helps them learn about their clans and heritage.

The Kisolo descendants of the Engonge clan won this year's shield after outperforming the other clans.

The chairperson of Ggwanga Mujje Boston, Ms. Rebecca Nansasi, thanked all the clans that participated in the games and encouraged all clans to continue participating and supporting this initiative that promotes unity among the Kabaka's people.

The Vice Chairperson of the Ugandan North American Association (UNAA), Mr. Charles Muvawala, urged the Kabaka's people to maintain the unity shown in this event and to teach the children the Luganda language, as they will be the ones to carry these traditions forward.

The event was also attended by Ms. Fiona Nattabi Kafeero, the Vice Deputy to the Kabaka's representative, as well as the retired representative Mr. Kato Kajubi and other princes and princesses.
