April 5, 2021 RIP: Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga at his last public appearance on Friday
The Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga’s last words to the nation were full of encouragement and an appeal to government to stop the state inspired kidnappings, torture and killings especially of members of the opposition.
Lwanga was found dead inside his residence at Lubaga on Saturday morning, according to the secretary general of the Episcopal Conference Monsignor John Baptist Kauta.
His death was announced just hours after Lwanga, who also doubled as the chairperson of the Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC) preached a message of hope for Uganda after jointly leading the Ecumenical Public Way of the Cross with his Anglican counterpart Dr Stephen Kaziimba at Namirembe on Friday.
