Bukalango’s Mukajanga dead

Kampala.

Popular Kampala Catholic Charismatic Renewal lay leader, John Bosco Mukajanga, 42, has died. Mukajanga was found dead in his home on Saturday morning of a yet-to-be established cause.

The announcement was made on the Facebook page of Mt Sion Prayer Centre Bukalango. Details were not yet known by press time
The lay leader gained popularity as a prayer leader in Bukalango where he worked under Monsignor Expedito Magembe.

He also had a ministry called JB Mukajanga Fire Ministries located on Jemba Plaza, on Luwum Street, where he held weekly lunch-hour prayers. He was purported to pray for and heal the sick and demon possessed using a brown wooden cross.

In early March 8, Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga wrote a letter to the deceased barring him from preaching, healing, delivering, anointing and laying-on of hands on people in order to impart blessings to them, until he had been granted permission by the church – in effect, suspending his services.

Previously, Archbishop Lwanga had stopped the lay leader from conducting prayers in the numerous arcades that dot Kampala where it was reported that he sold a bottle of olive oil at Shs 50,000. He also had live call-in prayer programmes on two local TV stations, which were stopped.
In contravention of the Archbishop’s directive, Mukajanga continued ministering at the different centres. He was last seen leading a fellowship on Thursday evening where he informed those close to him that he was feeling sickly.

Who was JB Mukajanga

The deceased was born in Bulemeezi, Luweero in 1974. He is a great grandchild of Mukajjanga, the royal executioner of Ssekabaka Mwanga II, who executed the Uganda Martyrs.

He studied at Kasaala Boys Primary School, Kampala Students Centre, and Luweero Secondary School.

He attempted to study priesthood but after failing, he joined Nkozi NTC where he graduated with a diploma in Divinity and History.
