III
“What are you doing on this land?” asks the
leader of what appeared to be a group of tribal watchmen.
As the chief that he is, Mwaza steps forward to respond.
“We are the Babofa. We
were led to this land by the prophecy of our ancestors. Who are you?”
Staring skeptically at Mwaza and his clan, the leader says:
“We are the Banyamubira.
We have been living here for generations. Luhwinja
is our land. I’m afraid your ancestors misled you.”
“Let us be the judge of that. My family and I will settle here. Our
ancestors are never wrong” replies vigorously Mwaza.
Tension grows in
both parties, each unsure of what will be the other one’s next move.
Little was known about the Babofa. Shepherds, yes they were. But
other attributes were about to be revealed.
The Banyamubira
watchmen were not prepared to face what followed.
