The family of the late Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala, and Christians yesterday paid a glowing tribute to a man they said was both the spiritual director and the head of the family, saying “his death has created a huge vacuum in the family” .
Led by Lwanga’s younger sister Rose Lukwago, the family members said they had lost a great pillar and that filling the gap will be a tall order. Ms Lukwago said from the time their late father Joseph Wamala Nsubuga died, Lwanga was appointed both the family head and the spiritual director, a duty he handled with care and dedication.

In the bushy hamlet of Kyabakadde, 31 kilometres north-east of Kampala, an eerie silence welcomes visitors.
Dirges and gospel songs blare on two gigantic speakers, installed a metre-high and facing one another, in the quadrangle, partially circumscribed by three houses.
Men and women clustered in small groups, some with hands clasped across the chests, could be spotted discussing in subdued voices.
Some were seated. Many stood erect, casting glances over security personnel deployed both inside and outside the residence.
