Wasswa Chwamale Mwanga Winyi (fl. early 14th century) was a reigning monarch of Bunyoro-Kitara during the period circa 1300 AD. His chief palace was located at Kibulala, Ssingo, where his remains are buried today. When Prince Kalemeera of Buganda, the only son of Ssekabaka Chwa Nabakka, was exiled to Bunyoro, he took refuge at the palace of his paternal uncle, Winyi I at his palace in Kibulala. There he committed more transgressions, fathering Prince Kimera Walusimbi with Lady Wannyana, his uncle's chief wife. Prince Kimera later became the third Kabaka of Buganda. [1] [2] [3] [4]
