ABATSYABA CLAN.ORUGANDA RWA MUGARA.

ABATSYABA CLAN.
ORUGANDA RWA MUGARA.
The Abatsyaba clan is a very largely  established and one of the sound  clans that dates its existance and roots from a woman who was called NYINARUSYABA.

NYINARUSYABA was a daughter to such a rich and wealthy man but had took long and failed to get a suitor.
                         Suddenly, she got pregnant to the surprise of many and gave birth to a son called MUGARA.
It is alleged that she could not reveal who MUGARA'S father was, which explains the reason why it's one of the few clans without subclans.

                        Depending on location,  people who belong to this clan may be called ABACYABA, in Kisoro, Rwanda and Burundi ie among the Baryarwanda, Bafumbira and Barundi.
Abatsyaba in Rukungiri, among the Bahororo and Banyankole of Nkole.
Among the Bakiga in kabale and Kanungu districts respectively.

The MUGARA( Abatsyaba) clan holds OBURUNGA as a taboo and cattle egret (ENYANGI) as a totem.
Some Batsyaba may refer to themselves as ABATSYABA BA KATWEERE ABAZIRABURUGA BA MUGARA.

Katweere basically is used as most of the clans in greater mpororo used to have such unknown names.
