Ugandan Journalist Crowned King After Throne Dispute

Kijanangoma, a Ugandan journalist whose broadcasting career spanned more than 20 years, has been crowned king following a dispute over the throne.

Before his coronation, Kijanangoma worked as a broadcaster in Uganda, building a professional life in journalism over more than two decades.

His broadcasting career also took him to Rwanda, giving him experience working in both neighbouring countries.

His accession marks a striking turn from broadcasting to royalty. The account of his coronation, however, provides no further details about the throne dispute or how it was resolved.
