Archbishop Lwanga was gripped by fear of death, poison, spies
April 7, 2021 RIP: Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga
In death, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has become the subject of fresh and contentious speculation spurred largely by his sudden passing.
At 9 o’clock on Saturday, April 3, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga was found dead in his residence near Lubaga cathedral. He has been archbishop of Kampala archdiocese since September 2006.
His death was particularly shocking to the nation because a day before, he publicly took part in the ecumenical way of the cross; a mimic of the journey Jesus Christ took before he was crucified on the cross. Many Ugandans are quietly finding it hard to believe that Lwanga died innocuously in his sleep without an ominous incident.
