Children of the Drum

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The coronation of Ronald Mutebi in Uganda last July restored the 600-year-old kingdom of Buganda after an interval of 27 years. As more and more Africans become disillusioned with the lack of political, social and economic gain from the modern state, the resurgence of loyalty to the tribal order is spreading. How can this reverence for tradition be reconciled with the demands of the late
20th century? Ugandan journalist Joel Kibazo talks to traditional leaders around the continent and asks them how they see their role.
