Strange Sign Was Seen In Bavila Kingdom In 1960
A strenge sign was seen in Uvila
when Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe went to rest.
The grandsons of King Mussabwa Kamango were hunted by some traitors
and swindlers silently,
One day Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe failed
in their traps that were poisoned
things brought by some people to terminate him.
A prince who could defend their throne as colonial rule was abolished in June 1960.
Now was the right time for the royal house
to claim their rights.
It was September 1960,
the family of King Mussabwa Kamango thought
of choosing the Prince they wanted and entrusting him
to the elders of Bavila so that they could handle
the coronation of their culture and traditions
(It was a secret plan of the the royal house).
Traitors and swindlers who were placed
by some Belgian officials on some important posts
of cultural affairs were thought to be removed
by the new king and their lives could be miserable
as they could be unemployed.
So they secretly planned to kill Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe and Alfonce I Rally ( Lali) Ngengethe Mussabwa who qualified for the position of the King.
Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe was poisoned
and failed ill.
The day he died,
The earthquake shook the entire Kingdom of Bavila,
many people who lived in the hills
near the royal forests could witness
the crack of Mount Munanila as large stones
failed to the valleys.
some huts on the mountains were torn apart,
Some people on the boundaries of the lake fallen.
People who were near the body of Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe were afread,
As they could not resist such a wonderful manifestation.
they thought about the signs they heard
to some elders about the fire from the grave
of Prince Luhongeka Ngengethe Mussabwa
who was one of the grandfathers of Prince Kambulishi Lutambwe.
Some people thought about the signs
that happened when Jesus Christ died on the cross.
They were wondering, "Why this terrible earthquake as
our Prince rests with God,
Was our God angry again because of this cruel
death of the prince?
The prince was buried at kijaga graveyard,
His death remained in the minds of many people,
as they always remember that earthquake.
