Kimera Walusimbi was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda between 1374 and 1404.
Born: Bunyoro
Died: 1404
Father: Prince Kalemera of Buganda
Mother: Namasole Wannyana
He was the third king of Buganda.
Nkima clan
Kimera made the journey to Buganda accompanied by his mother and the family of Katumba (Nkima clan), his adoptive father.
On reaching Buganda, Katumba was appointed Mugema, hereditary head of the Nkima (monkey) clan.
Kimera was the only son of Prince Kalemeera, the son of Kabaka Chwa I Nabakka.
Kimera was a twin and his twin brother was Kato Kibi Kaganda, who became a King himself.
He conquered his own Kingdom in Kiziba, current day Tanzania.
They could not rule Buganda together, thus he went to Sesse, came back to Buganda and went south.
Their mother was Lady Wannyana, the supposed chief wife of King Winyi I of Bunyoro.
The final years of King Kimera:
Kabaka Kimera was killed in a hunting accident around 1404. He was clubbed on the head by his grandson Kabaka Ttembo Kiridde, who succeeded him.
Some accounts narrate the event as a deliberate act, but the most convincing accounts say it was an accident.
He was initially buried at the site of his death.
In 1869, his remains were exhumed (dagg out from the grave), and re-buried at Lunnyo, near the city of Entebbe, close to where the present Uganda State House is located.
Other credible accounts give his burial place as Bumera Busiro.
So it is said:
In the place where King Kimera’s remains were buried in Lunyo, and there the influence of Buganda’s kingdom will araise to reclaim and reposses its territories and regain its inheritance via the intervention of the God of Israel.
