Former nursing home aide ascends to Ugandan throne
Contemporary Long-Term Care Weekly, October 22, 2009
On October 19, President Yoweri Museveni and the people of Uganda recognized Charles Wesley Mumbere, who worked for nine years as a nursing aide in greater Harrisburg, PA, as the King of Rwenzururu, a mountain kingdom in western Uganda, according to The Patriot News.
Mumbere came to the U.S. in 1984 for an education that was to be paid for by the Ugandan government, which no longer recognized kingdoms and negotiated Mumbere’s arrangement as part of a peace deal with the Bakonjo people. But three years later, the government was overthrown, ending Mumbere’s educational stipend. He took a job as a nurse’s aide in Washington, D.C. before eventually moving to Harrisburg in 1999 and once again finding work in a nursing home. In recent years, the government discussed restoring certain kingdoms for cultural purposes, which led Mumbere to return to Uganda last July and claim his throne.
