His Majesty Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere Irema Ngoma is the The King of Rwenzururu located in Western Uganda, Kasese District. Before becoming King he used to be a nurse's aide in Maryland and Pennsylvania, USA. For years, as Charles Wesley Mumbere cared for the elderly and sick, none of his colleagues suspected that he had inherited a royal title in his African homeland when he was just 13. But Mr Mumbere's royal roots only became public in Pennsylvania 2009, when he granted an interview to The Patriot-News of Harrisburg as he was preparing to return to Uganda. He had inherited the title after his father, Isaya Mukirania Kibanzanga, who died while leading a secessionist group in the Rwenzori Mountains, otherwise known as the Mountains of the Moon in Kasese District. The rebels were protesting the oppression of their Bakonzo ethnic group by their then-rulers, the Toro Kingdom. The Bakonzo demanded to be recognised as a separate entity and named Kibanzanga, a former primary school teacher, as their king in 1963.
Shortly after Kibanzanga died, his son led the fighters down from the mountains to hand in their weapons. Mr Mumbere went to the United States in 1984 on a Uganda government scholarship, attending a business school until Uganda's leadership changed and the stipend was stopped. He gained political asylum in 1987, trained as a nurse's aide and took a job in a suburban Washington nursing home to pay his bills, The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported in a July 2009 story. After 10 years of negotiation, President Museveni announced in August the government would recognise the Rwenzururu Kingdom as Uganda's seventh kingdom.
