Prince Saul Livingstone Mpuuga, the elder brother of King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, has called for reconciliation between his sister Princess Ruth Komuntale and her estranged husband Christopher Thomas.
In an interview with Uganda Radio Network in Fort Portal, Prince Mpuuga (33) said he hopes the couple can reconcile. He believes this is possible if both families are involved in talks to bring together the former couple.

Mpuuga says it is unfortunate the Komuntale-Thomas match did not last more than 10 months yet it had been an occasion of celebration for thousands of people when they got married.
//Cue in: “as a brother to Ruth…
Cue out: “…I want to see my sister happy.”//
Last month, Princess Komuntale announced an end to her marriage with Thomas. She accused Thomas of infidelity and physically abusing her.
But Mpuuga's advice may go unheeded as he confesses that he has difficulty catching the eye of King Oyo. He says he has been blocked several times from meeting his younger brother.
He has, however, had a chance to chat on social media platforms like Facebook with his sister Komuntale and she has expressed a desire to meet him.
//Cue in: “I have interacted with Ruth…
Cue out: “…we shall be together.”//
Prince Mpuuga is currently pursuing his studies at Nyakasura School. He will be reporting for senior 4 next year. Mpuuga decided to go back to school 14 years after he had dropped out. He returned to school in 2011.
Going back to school has been a challenging experience for the prince who until last year was largely unknown to the public.
Prince Mpuuga rose to prominence late last year when he revealed that he was the elder son of the late Omukama Patrick Olimi Kaboyo II. Mpuuga said that his late mother, Joyce Rubuga met Kaboyo in the King’s palace where she worked as a maid. He was later officially recognized by the Kingdom and royal family at the home of Professor Edward Rugumayo in Fort Portal town.
//Cue in: “experience isn’t bad…
Cue out: “…age doesn’t matter.”//.
On the King’s recent graduation in the United Kingdom, Mpuuga says that it will inspire school dropouts to return to school.
Mpuuga also says that he is happy that King Oyo has started making personal decisions and involving the youths in kingdom activities. He however says that the King needs more support from the subjects and even Kingdom administration.
//Cue in: “I was happy about it…
Cue out “…they love their King.”//
