Johnson Mujungu President, International Community of Banyakigezi You are cordially invited to the 9th Annual ICOB Convention, which will be held from July 28-31, 2011 at the Croydon Park Hotel in London, United Kingdom. Our theme this year is ‘Guharanira Kunoza’ (In Pursuit of Excellence), with a focus on Education and Culture. Pursuing excellence is a matter of recognizing who you are, what you have, where you are in life, and striving to improve upon it. There is no end zone in seeking excellence; there is always more to achieve. There will be expert, panel and open forum discussions to address topics of educational and cultural interests to the community. REGISTER NOW: http://banyakigeziandfriendsconvention-estw.eventbrite.com/ ''I would, in writing this, like to remind the settlers that even if they become rich and change their mother tongue, they should remember the proverb 'Gatagata munonga gateebirwe wa beene mbeho’ “They must never forget the good customs and characteristics of the Bakiga, nor forget their own language; and they must feel in their bones that they are Bakiga, remembering where they used to live.” - Paulo Ngorogoza Mr Paulo Ngorogoza was the first African Secretary General of Kigezi, and he wrote his book 'Kigezi and Its People', in 1967. His reference to Bakiga alone was because they were predominantly the ones who had migrated from Kigezi to other lands such as Nkore, Toro and Bunyoro in the preceding two decades. Had he been alive today, Mr Ngorogoza, one of the most visionary leaders Uganda has produced, would have addressed himself to all Banyakigezi and all Ugandans who have left their homelands.
