Ugandan Journalist Crowned King After Dispute Over Throne

Ugandan journalist Kijanangoma has been crowned king following a struggle over the throne, marking a new chapter in a life long associated with broadcasting.

Kijanangoma worked as a broadcaster for more than 20 years, building a professional career in journalism before his emergence as a royal figure.

His broadcasting work extended beyond Uganda to neighbouring Rwanda, giving his media career a footing in both countries.

His path from the microphone to the throne brings together two distinct chapters: decades in broadcasting and a contested rise to kingship.
