Welcome to the second episode of the show "Those Who Came Before Us".
We continue the history of this ancient kingdom with the story of Isaza, the last king of the Batembuzi.
It's a popular tale about the importance of respect for the elders. In this episode, I not only tell you Isaza's story but also reveal the real history behind this folklore.  Enjoy!!

Hosted by David Ibanda.
