Bukuku

Bukuku is the last king of the legendary Tembuzi dynasty of Kitara in Nyoro tradition, and its only ruler not born of the Gabu clan: a Ranzi clansman and commoner who had served King Isaza as gatekeeper. After Isaza was trapped in the underworld, Bukuku seized power, but most chiefs rebelled and his rule shrank to the south-west.

Witch-doctors warned that his daughter Nyinamwiru's son would kill him, so he shut her away in a house entered only through his palace. Her son Karubumbi, later called Ndahura, killed him over a cattle-watering quarrel and founded the Chwezi dynasty.
