It's not part of culture to take photos to Kwanjula. That's regardless if the photo is of the Kabaka or Nabagereka. However, it's done to support the kingdom, thus we shouldn't be fussing about what people decide to take.... It's neither a law or written in stone.
To all NUPists bitter for calling them out, I will repeat. Portraits of Bobi Wine or any other musician, politician are not taken to Kwanjula ceremonies. Only portraits of the Kabaka and Nnaabagereka are taken. Kwanjula is a cultural function, not a concert or political rally.

I remember telling someone how media houses unknowingly fueled the violent music culture. Journalists would would parrot rumors from one camp to the next. Years later, they turned war mongering into content. Reminds me of this same media house trying to start war between rappers.
