Quotes about Mutesa II

 * … Mutesa II was a leader whose life was greatly influenced – and often trapped – by intersecting but occasionally conflicting heritages. From a very young age he was cast into the leadership of a dichotomous society (old and new, conservative and modern, colonial and anticolonial, Christian and non-Christian) in a rapidly changing and challenging world.
 * Apollo N. Makubuya, Sir Edward Frederick L. Mutesa II: Reflections on the Triple Heritage Of An African King, Knight and President.
 * “… many will say that he was ill-advised to pit the illusions of a bygone tribal glory against the claims of a modern African state; but no one can question the devotion with which he spent himself for his people and their well-being.”
 * Rev. John Taylor, at the funeral service for Mutesa II
