February 1968 - When Uganda's Martyrs Went Out To Die
February 1968 - When Uganda's Martyrs Went Out To Die - Musa Nnyumba as he is today with a great-great-great grandchild at Kasasa near Masaka. He 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. (Photograph by Drum - Photograph BAHA)
