MARRIAGE OF MUSABWA KAMANGO MUNANILA


 Musabwa Kamango Munanila got married
a virgin girl called "Kanjokerwa"
He was very happy because
 there was no man who knew 
her wife before him.
His father honoured  the  mother
of Kanjokerwa for taking care 
of his daughter-in-law.
Many Bavila danced
culturally  for him.
Later on she became pregnant,
Many Bavila wished
 to see a boy after nine months,
By the Grace of God to whom many bavila pray
He answered their prayers
for bringing the boy to them.
He was called Ruhongeka "Luhongeka" Ngengethe Musabwa.
Kanjokerwa was very happy
to win the hearts of  the majority
royal family members  .
She got pregnant again and gave birth
To another son and he was called 
" Ndambwe mbaha ne nyiru " 
Nyangamba Kibaya Musabwa...
Who is popularly known as
"Prince Rutambwe or Lutambwe" 
in the royal house of Bavila.
Her mother in law wished to hug a baby girl  
As there were two princes for the throne.
She got pregnant again , 
gave birth to a baby girl 
She was named "Nashale Musabwa"
many people were happy for her.
After few years, 
she got pregnant, 
gave birth to another girl 
And she was named 
" Musheherwa Nyamuhunda Namusabwa."
Musabwa and his wife thought of giving 
birth to another son after the two princes.
Queen Kanjokerwa became pregnant again,
and gave birth to a  baby girl,
She was called "Nachefu Musabwa."
they wished to find another boy
but the womb closed.
Nachefu was the last one.
several years passed,
King Musabwa Kamango Munanila was killed 
by the Belgian troops 
So his wife remained a widow.
Queen Kanjokerwa lived long on this earth 
As she saw her grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren.
She used to tell them stories
many times.
When God decided to take her 
and she left this Earth to rest in peace.
