  • ———— “Mudo”: the Soga 'Little Red Riding Hood'
    LILLIAN BUKAAYI TIBASIIMA ———— º “Mudo”: The Soga ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ ABSTRACT This essay analyses the social underpinnings of the oral tale of “Mudo,” which belongs to the Aarne–Thompson tale type 333, along with a group of similar tales that resemble the action and movement of “Little Red Riding Hood.” Basic to the exposition is Adolf Bastian’s assertion of the fundamental similarity of ideas between all social groups. In the “Mudo” story and its Ugandan variants, the victim is a solitary little girl and the villain a male ogre who devises ways of eating her; the ogre is mostly successful, although in some variants the girl manages to escape. Although these tales come from a great range of cultures and different geographical locations, and the counterpart of the ogre in the European tales is a wolf in disguise, they share elements of plot, characteriza- tion, and motif, and address similar concerns. Introduction USOGA IS PART OF EAS TERN UGANDA, surrounded by water. The B Rev. Fredrick Kisuule Kaliisa1 notes: To the west is river Kiira (Nile) marking the boundary between Buganda and Busoga. To the East is river Mpologoma separating Busoga from Bukedi. To the North are river Mpologoma and Lake Kyoga, forming the boundary be- tween Busoga and Lango. To the south, is Lake Victoria (Nalubaale). It might be the result of the geographical location of Busoga that ogre stories were composed to warn the people against impending harm if they went out alone and stayed in secluded places. Nnalongo Lukude emphasizes this: Historically, Busoga was surrounded by bodies of water and forests, it was very bushy and as a result harboured many wild animals, some of which were man-eaters.

Kayima and Aloyce W. Mayo* Department of Water Resources Engineering, University of Dar es Salaam, P. O. Box 35131, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Received 1 July, 2018; Accepted 16 August, 2018 The Lubigi wetland, which is located in the north-western part of Kampala, the capital city of Uganda has been severely strained from anthropogenic encroachment and activities. These activities include harvesting of Cyperus papyrus and other plants, land filling for reclamation, human settlements and disposal of wastewater into the wetland among others. As a result of these anthropogenic activities, the macrophytes diversity and biomass in the wetland have been affected, which in turn affects the effectiveness of wetland for removal of pollutants. It is therefore important to investigate the characteristics of wetland macrophytes in the Lubigi wetland. Pertinent field investigations, surveys, data collection and laboratory tests and analyses were carried out. The problem being addressed was the current lack of information and knowledge about the biomass and biodiversity of the Lubigi wetland to protect the downstream Mayanja River and Lake Kyoga. Three transects each of 1.0 m wide was cut across this zone at about 700 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet, the second at about 1,440 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet and the third at about 1,930 m downstream of the main wastewater inlet.

The more recent reports also are out of print and virtually unobtainable. The purpose .of this present survey is to bring together the results of these many researches and to present, in the light of recent unpublished information, an account of the taxonomy and biology of the many fish species which are to be found in the lakes and rivers of Uganda. Particular attention has been paid to the provision of keys, so that most of the fishesmay be easily identified. It is hardly necessary to emphasize that our knowledge of the East African freshwater fishes is still in an early and exploratory stage of development. Much that has been written is known to be over-generalized, as conclusions were inevitably drawn from few and scattered observations or specimens. From the outset it must be stressed that the sections of this paper dealing with the classification and description of the fishes are in no sense a full tax- onomicrevision although many of the descriptions are based on larger samples than were previously available.

Background ,i'l The Kyoga basin lakes are situated between longitude 32°0S' - 33°3S'E and latitude I.' 01°0S' - 01°SS'N. They consist of two major lakes (Kyoga and Kwania), two medium sized small lakes of Bisina and Nakuwa and about SO other small (satellite), lakes. Lake Kwania is relatively narrow, shallow (about 4m), stretch north-southwards and join the western extremity of Lake Kyoga to form lower Victoria Nile. Lake Kyoga is the largest in the basin, with an average depth of about 3.0m. The small lakes lie in the floodplain of the eastern drainage system to east of Lake Kyoga (Twongo 2002). Most of the small I~ lakes seem to have more than one name. The varying names among most of the small IiI' lakes were attributed to the different ethnic groups of people living in the areas I r" It· surrounding the lakes. (Mbabazi 1999). The recent field survey (Aanyu, personal communication 2007) also indicated that some lakes were known by different names and this formed a constraint especially when locating such lakes using the old maps.
