The Cattle at the Centre of Kalangwa Family Dispute

What the report says

Watchdog Uganda reports that a routine attempt to move cattle from a farm linked to the late Moses Kalangwa has escalated into a family dispute over control of his estate. The confrontation became public after Kalangwa’s eldest daughter, Jackline Kobusingye Birungi, stopped the cattle transport and posted video of the incident online, accusing her stepmother, Florence Joyce Kirabo, of trying to remove family property without telling the children.

According to the report, Kirabo says the move was not meant to secretly dispose of the livestock, but to shift the animals away from land that has become tied up in a separate dispute. The article says the cattle had been kept on Kalangwa’s farm in Misanga Village, Bbaale County, Kayunga District, and that questions about the land’s ownership and use have complicated administration of the estate after Kalangwa’s death.

The broader background includes a contested land transaction connected to the farm and ongoing disagreements over how Kalangwa’s will should be implemented. Watchdog Uganda says the immediate issue is not only where the cattle were headed, but who had the authority to make that decision. The dispute highlights how family conflict and unresolved property questions can affect the handling of an estate and the protection of assets such as livestock.
