- Description: Many years ago there was a white man (said to be an Australian) called Kitumbu, a trader, who made tiles. He was a very fat man and used to ride on a donkey. One day he fell ill and went to the mission hospital where an operation became necessary. The famous Dr. Cook had just arrived from the coast on foot leaving all his instruments behind, so he had to make use of domestic plates, knives and bowls in the make-shift operating theatre. Kitumbu was operated on near Easter time and, it is said, did not survive. Local legend has it that all the people thought that 700 Europeans, 800 Indians and 800 Goans all ate up the remains of Kitumbu till only his back bone was left. Mugwanya, a judge, and one of the three signatories to the Buganda treaty, it was also said, did not eat the meat, but only the pancreas, and so he was excused! In such manner are local legends made! Historical song, with horizontal, arched, harp.

- Description: Kawulu, a Ganda man, was a cannibal. One day he met a woman, he caught her, killed her and ate her. The Hima people reported the matter to the police and Kawulu was taken to prison. After he was caught the Ganda denied everything saying they were never cannibals, but rather it was the Soga people who had done this dreadgul thing. So the case was heard in Jinja instead of in Kampala, but eventually he confessed and was hanged. So it was a Ganda and not a Soga who was proved to be a cannibal. Topical song with Ntongoli bowl lyre.
