Once upon a time, Prince Kayemba was ordered by his big brother, King Jjuuko to go and conquer the territory of Buvuma. King Jjuuko ruled Buganda between 1654-1664. When Prince Kayemba left to annex Buvuma territory, he went with mostly Kibe Clans men. After he had conquered Buvuma, some of his men, who were of the Kibe Clan settled on the islands of Buvuma. When Prince Kayemba left Buvuma to return to Buganda, many of the Kibe Clan came back with him. They arrived at Kigaya landingsite. It is from there they acquired land on the hills surrounding Kigaya and on the village of Makindu.

It is during the reign of King Ssemakookiro(1779-1794), when those of the Kibe clan bacame very prominent. After they had been given the duties of 'Chief Brewers' to the King. (Obasenero bw'omwenge gwa Kabaka). They got this title from the "Nvuma" Clan.

When Ssemakookiro bacame King of Buganda, after defeating his big brother Jjunju, he removed the duties of Chief Brewers from the 'Nvuma' Clan and gave those duties to his man Sseruti. The one who had discovered the way to straw (Oluseke-Oluti). And when the King asked Sseruti from where he would perfom his duties, he answered that he would like to be stationed in Buyikwe-Kyaggwe. The King also asked him where he was born and he answered "Wambogwe". It is said that when Kyasanku settled on his new village-Buyikwe, he used to beat his drum saying these words:

"Kyasanku, bakuzaala wa? Ku kizinga Wambogwe" - Literally meaning- "Where are you born Kyasanku? On the island of Wambogwe". This later became one of the Mottoes(Emibala) of the Kibe Clan.

From the times of King Ssemakookiro, the duty of Chief Brewer (Sseruti) is perfomed by the Kibe Clan up to this day. But the Chief Brewer(Sseruti) these days does his work from Kawongo-Bukoba in Kyaggwe, on the King's land.

When King Ssemakookiro died, Kyasanku (Sseruti) was killed. That was the tradition and belief those days. Kyasanku's son, Kagi, became his heir. And he was the "Sseruti" during King Kamaanya's reign(1794-1824). When King Kamaanya died, Kagi was also killed. Kagi's successor was his brother Mujere. This tradition of killing the Chief Brewer (Sseruti), whenever a King died, stopped after the death of King Ssuuna ll (1824-1856). When Kibawo, the then Chief Brewer, was never killed and continued doing his job up to the times of King Mukaabya Walugembe Mutesa (1856-1884)

Kibe is a Luganda name which means fox. The Kibe Clan existed during the reign of King Kintu. The Head of the Clan is called Muyige. The Clan seat for Muyige is found at Wantaayi in Kyaggwe(Present Mukono District). The Kibe Clan people first settled in Busujju before they went to Kyaggwe(presently Mukono district) Origin Once upon a time, King Jjuuko ordered his young brother Prince Kayemba to go and conquer the Buvuma territory. Prince Kayemba went with many Kibe Clan members to fight for the territory of Buvuma. After successfully conquering Buvuma, some of his men from the Kibe Clan settled there. From Buvuma, some members then moved to Busoga. When Prince Kayemba returned to Buganda from Buvuma, many of the Kibe Clan members returned with him. They arrived at the Harbour Kigaya and it is from here that they were able to acquire land on the hills surrounding Harbour-Kiyaga and in the village of Makindu. They got land in Buikwe too as well as its surrounding and other places such as Buzaana and Bugolo. Kibe Clan became prominent during the reign of Kabaka Ssemakookiro who ruled between 1779-1794. ________________________________________________ Face book :   / bmtvafrica   Twitter :   / bmtvafrica   Instagram :   / bmtvafrica   Email : Bludpsad@gmail.com _________________________________ Ebikwata ku kika Ekika Obubaka Ekika Kibe Omuziro Mpiri Omukulu w'Ekika (Omutaka) .

_______________________________ Main role The Kibe Clan was given the role of "Obasenero bw'omwenge gwa Kabaka" meaning "Chief brewers to the King(Kabaka)" They got this title from the Nvuma Clan. They received this role during the reign of King Ssemakokiro.[ Origin of the Main role There was a man called Kyasanku who belonged to the Kibe Clan, he went to live with Prince Ssemakookiro when he was living in Nnamwezi in Kyaggwe(currently Mukono District). This was where the Prince was preparing his men to attack his brother Kabaka Jjunju. Kyasanku was a member of Ssemakokiro's army, so on their way to fight Kabaka Jjunju, Prince Ssemakokiro asked Kyasanku to give him some brew. By then, Kyasanku had thought of the idea of drinking brew with a stick which was hollow(Oluseke). This led to the Prince asking Kyasanku what had happened to the brew which had a stick in it. He asked,"Omwenge gwange gw'osimbyemu Oluti gubade ki?" which simply means,"What has happened to my brew in which you have put a stick(Oluti)?" Kyasanku replied saying,"Oluti olwo lujja kukunywesa bulungi omwenge nga teguyinza na kukuyiikira." simply meaning ,"The stick(oluti) will enable you drink your brew properly and it cannot spill on you." The Prince then decided to use the stick and realised the drink was flowing well and using the stick was more comfortable and convenient for him. So, from that time on, whenever he wanted a drink, he would ask Kyasanku to bring him brew together with the stick. That is when the Prince started calling Kyasanku,"Sseruti, ndeteera ku mwenge gwange nyweeko" meaning, "Sseruti, bring my brew so that I can drink." That is how Kyasanku got to be nicknamed Sseruti. Sseruti comes from the word Oluti which means stick. After Prince Ssemakookiro fighting and defeating his big brother Jjunju, he removed the duty of Chief brewers from the Nvuma Clan and gave the duty to Sseruti who discovered the way of drinking brew with a stick(Oluseke-Oluti)
