The Young Professional Managers Association (YPMA) brings together managers to fast track their management careers. Normally they have retreats to reflect on their activities and also take time off to have fun. They play games and visit possible tourist sites. They're in Iganga now.
Yesterday they visited the Nyendha hills on Iganga Mayuge road. Several years back on their programme when they were to visit this place, they were told they would be going to climb a mountain. There were some Bakiga in the group and when they got there, they complained that they had only seen a big anthill. They reconed that there is no mountain in Busoga. The Bakiga wake up every morning and they go up to dig. After that they go down to fetch water and it is therefore understandable when they don't see the mountains in Iganga.
Nyendha hills is one of the cultural sites of one of the major clans in Busoga. It is associated with Abaise-igaga in their traditional home called Busambira. The clan leader is Kisambira. Climbing the hill, there are three places of interest. Two of them for spiritual affairs. People go there to pray, asking their gods to solve problems for them. The third is the Karuhangas grave, the prince who came from Bunyoro and is believed to have been there and died while visiting the clan. This is one of Busoga's sites but little attention has been paid to to it
