February 1968 - When Uganda's Martyrs Went Out To Die

February 1968 - When Uganda's Martyrs Went Out To Die - Four little children who come from the family of St. Charles Lwanga, the martyr, offer their prayers at his shrine at Kasasa. Musa Nnyumba is 107 years of age. He is like any other villager simple and contented. Yet his name is among those to be found in the great archives of the Catholic church in Uganda, and possibly in the Vatican. For he is the only living witness to the tragedy of the 22 martyrs. I met him just a few weeks before the eightieth anniversary of the death of the famous Uganda matyrs - now saints - at his home, Kasasa, not far from Masaka. For days I been searching for his place.
