Apolo Kagwa in 1893

Apolo Kagwa in 1893 with probably his mother on the left, his wife and child on the right and a page in the corner. Apolo Kagwa was the leading ally of the British in Buganda. While still only a protestant head page, he had been tortured in 1886 during the Uganda Martyrs but his life was spared. He subsequently became the leader of the Protestant party and Mwanga’s main political rival. He played the leading role in the anti-sodomy law of 1896. Note that in 1893 his costume is inspired by the Sudanese soldier’s uniform.
