FROM HIS OWN WORDS - YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI, the President of UGANDA. " We were gaining ground of Kampala, lead by Colonel Mahfoudh and we three of us, Me, Major Marwa and Major Isonda IN A TRIANGLE and on our back, the battalion charging ahead gaining ground of Kampala in a MISSION-ACCOMPLISHED "
. Major Isonda was my Uncle as husband to my Aunt Winnie (now Rev. Winnie Mulindwa). Was a perfect Trained-Combatant and the graduate of MONDULI MILITARY ACADEMY with several SANDHURST short courses. Was a Man of MILITARY and MILITARY-INTELLIGENCE UNIT. He knew his job so well and eventually attracts love/hates to some colleagues as usual.
According to himself, his retirement " was controversial and circumstantial " as was still in love with TPDF. On the day of his funeral in 1992, his Nyamwezi-Mother cried " my Soldier, my Soldier " and never mentioned " my Son, my Son " . She knew him well as the born-Soldier. He was darling to many in the name of Military-family, the like of the late Major General JOHN WALDEN, the late Colonel CHIMPENYI, the Mozambican-Military Attaché to Tanzania and many Tanzanians and Ugandans STAR-GENERALS of the Army. He once told me that " One can work for government and goes top the dreams, BUT in no given hour, you just baunce on the ground, you fall, AND IS OVER ".
When 2 Tanzanian PMs resigned the Offices in 1992 and 2008 respectively, his word just ECHOES !
