Hoodwinked Into Eating Tippers and Tippers of Soil Instead Of Taking Medication, Thousands Succumbed to HIV In 1989

 It was devastating in 1982 when Uganda confirmed the first cases of HIV/AIDS in Rakai District in the fishing village of Kasensero on the shores of Lake Victoria.

HIV/AIDS locally known as “Silimu” being an incurable disease prompted many to search for a cure to the disease.

Consequently, with the growing burden of HIV/AIDS, belief in witchcraft and spiritualism was at the pick especially in the rural areas of the country.

In August 1989, there emerged Nanyonga Yowanina who lived in Kikumadungu village in Sembabule district, a very religious catholic that claimed to have found the cure to the deadly disease in soil. Nanyonga distributed the magical soil to thousands of people and claimed it could cure any diseases, HIV inclusive.

The then glorified Nanyonga claimed to have received a spiritual encounter with the men dressed in white Linen who  spread white dust on one part of her mother’s land in front of the house.

During an interview with her son, he revealed that Nanyonga claimed to have visited her in her dreams and revealed to her the HIV/AIDS cure which was the soil in front of her house.

“After the Sunday mass she told us she had received a vision from God commanding her to heal his people of every disease,”Nanyonga’s son said.


 

The chairperson of Lutunku B village Vincent Sseguya who attended the Sunday mass with her says she showed them the place though they saw nothing on the ground but later picked the soil and gave them to test.

Word spread and thousands of people from different parts of the country squeezed in and out of Nayonga’s home to get the antidote for HIV/AIDs. Eye witnesses testify that Nanyonga’s home turned into market place where one could go and find a marriage partner of his/her own choice. However, all was in vain because people continued to succumb to HIV regardless of the tones of soil they consumed.

The spread of the disease sky rocked not until the government through the Ministry of Health banned her activities to clear the great deception.

The NRA Government in its fresh control shouldered the load of leading the population out of the mess, a success story that has been lauded internationally.

On June 16th 2017, President Museveni initiated and launched the Presidential Fast-Track initiative (PFTI) which aims to end Aids by 2030 as one of Uganda’s public health threats. 

According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report of 2021, of the 1.4 million people living with HIV in Uganda, over 1,000,000 people are enrolled in care. 

 

 

WHO stated that there is no cure for HIV but with increasing access to effective prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, including for opportunistic infections, HIV infection has become a manageable chronic health condition, enabling people living with HIV to lead long and healthy lives.

The treatment of HIV/AIDS with medicine is called antiretroviral therapy (ART) and it’s recommended for everyone who has HIV. It involves the use of pills and shots which has been proven safer by the health experts.

The Ministry of Health urges Ugandans to be heralds of HIV and AIDS programs as they celebrate the World AIDS day on 1st December annually.


 

Unfortunately, the locals of Kikumadungu reveal that people still visit Nanyonga’s place to fill their stomachs with the soil which did not heal her followers including Nanyonga and her relatives who succumbed to diseases the soil was supposed to cure.

It is important for us to team up with President Museveni in supporting PFTI to end AIDS by 2030 for an AIDS free nation.
