What we know
•By the time JamiiCheck intervened, the video had attracted more than 9000 likes and over 115 reposts and comments, with some users believing it was recent.
•JamiiCheck found that the video is old and has been reused to create a false impression that it shows a recent event.
•The original video was posted by the Buganda Media Center and other media outlets on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, when Kabaka met with Senior Roof chiefs of Buganda.
Original video:
•The event took place at Lubiri Palace in Mengo, where Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II met with senior roof chiefs of Buganda.
•According to Buganda traditions, the Kabaka is excluded from certain ceremonies, including attending burial ceremonies.
