December 1955 - Return of the Kabaka - Mr Kamaya bet

December 1955 - Return of the Kabaka - Mr Kamaya bet his fattest cow on the Kabaka not returning, and lost! - Half-a-million people throunged the airport wave and cheer the triumphant return of the Kabaka. When King Freddie got off the specially-chartered plane, the governor, Sir Andrew Cohen, the forced back into second place, when the Nabagereka rushed first to greet and exchange kisses with her husband. The Kabaka was cold and unsmiling when he turned to acknowledge the greetings of the governor. Seventy-two hours before the landing of the plance which was returning the Kabaka to Bugansa after a two-year exile, about 3, 000 bearde men camped in a special enclosure at Entebbe airport.
