Circa 1993. Willy drowned. His drowning shocked many who knew him because it happened at the landing site when he, apparently, jumped into the water to wade ashore. So his mother travelled all the way from Nebbi to Jinja to ‘confirm’ that there had been no foul play.
And how would she ‘confirm’ this? She was no mortician, nor was she a pathologist. But then she could have been both and much more. In African medicine, practitioners went far and did things that can even scare Stephen King the American author of horror and supernatural fiction.
