- Nakiwala, daughter of Semwanga, of the Ngonge clan.
Issue edit
- Prince (Omulangira) Kalemeera, whose mother was Nakiwala. Kalemeera was driven out of Buganda and forced to seek refuge in Bunyoro, on the orders of his father. In Bunyoro, Kalemeera was accommodated at the court of his uncle, Omukama Winyi I of Bunyoro. There, he committed adultery with Lady Wannyana, daughter of Mugalula Buyonga, a Muhima, the chief wife of his uncle. The affair resulted in a son; one Prince Kimera Walusimbi.[citation needed]
