Sarah Kyolaba Amin, wife to the late former Ugandan president Idi Amin Dada has passed on yesterday, in a London hospital, she has been living in London for decades.
She was a young dancer in the army dance troupe and had one child born on Christmas day 1974. She could have been no more than twenty years when she got married to Amin. Still young, as the pictures show (see the 6 pics in album). We can do the maths and say she was about 60, when she passed on.
It is rumored Amin killed her boyfriend so he could marry her. He was a member
of the Cranes Band. The late Kyolaba was in her late teens or early
twenties when she got married to 'Big Daddy' as some people referred to
him just in time for the OAU Heads of State Summit in 1975. It is said
he was charmed by her dancing strokes.
She owned a restaurant in London town where mostly Ugandans having been eating local foods. She not only danced so elegantly but was very stylish, always conducted herself with dignity and down to earth according to people who knew her.
RIP MAMA SARAH!
