Busega is a neighborhood within Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda.
Location
Busega is situated in Rubaga Division, one of the five administrative divisions of Kampala. Busega is bordered by unincorporated Wakiso District to the north, Namungoona to the northeast, Lungujja to the east, Nateete to the south, and Buloba to the west. The neighborhood is approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southwest of Kampala's central business district.[1] The coordinates of Busega are 0°18'36.0"N, 32°31'12.0"E (Latitude:0.3100; Longitude:32.5200).[2]
Overview
Busega holds historical significance as the location of the first recorded killing of young Christians Makko Kakumba, Yusuf Rugarama, and Nuwa Sserwanga, all of them belonging to the Anglican faith. They were dismembered and burned on 31 January 1885 on the orders of Mwanga II, the Kabaka of Buganda.[3]
The Kampala Northern Bypass Highway, which was opened in October 2009, ends in Busega where it joins the Entebbe-Kampala Highway, the dual-carriage toll expressway. The Northern Bypass Highway is also undergoing expansion into a dual carriageway.[4]
