Fire From the Grave of Bavira Prince

Fire came out of  the grave of Prince 
Ruhongeka ( Luhongeka)  Ngengethe Mussabwa. 
After the killing of King Mussabwa Kamango by
 the Colonial army in the battle of Lubako forest, 
The Bavira ( Bavila) princes could not associate 
with the colonisers because 
of their ill-treatments. 
many people were cut heads, 
legs and hands to terrify the nation 
so they could bow down to colonial rules. 
The Bavira princes continued following their traditional rules 
and ignored  the imposters which the colonisers 
put to rule traditional affairs under 
the new Belgian administrator. 
The Bavira princes could not associate with invaders 
who killed their father when trying to defend the rights
of his people. 
Some Bavira traitors were proud 
of new top positions given by colonial regime and 
started to undermine their princes, 
which divided the Bavira leaders.
when the son was born in the house 
of Prince Ruhongeka(Luhongeka) Ngengethe Mussabwa, 
 he called him "Mlali" but his young brother
called him" Lali" and claimed to see some strong powers
 in the new prince in many dreams 
before he was born.
all the two names were accepted 
by all the princes and princesses. 
many chiefs who worked with King 
Mussabwa Kamango continued honouring
 and supporting their princes and princesses. 
as the sellouts forgot their culture 
and started honouring lucre 
and top fabricated positions. 
When Prince Ruhongeka ( Luhongeka) Ngengethe Mussabwa died ,  
the chiefs of late King Mussabwa Kamango , Prince Lutambwe Kibaya Mussabwa, Prince Rally( Lali)  Luhongeka  decided to burry 
him in the royal forest
of Mundi as he did not finalise the process
of royal initiation to sit on the Bavira throne.
To avoid confusion among Bavira 
as the kingdom was attacked. 
More fire came out of the grave 
of Prince Ruhongeka( Luhongeka)  Ngengethe Mussabwa which 
caused terror among Bavira and they could interpret 
that misterious fenomena differently. 
Some people thought about manifestation 
of  the anger of their God because of the traitors
who joined the strangers to destroy 
their powerful kingdom wantonly.  
Other people thought about the power
 of God within the sons and grand sons 
of King Mussabwa Kamango to continue ruling  
bavira no matter how they were challenged by 
the colonial rulers and some Bavira traitors.
the  Bavira chiefs understood the meaning 
of that fire out of  the grave of the crown 
prince and kept quiet as it was a good royal sign 
of a strong african kingdom.
