RUHANGA God of the Ugandan Banyoro tribes, Ruhanga supplieshis people with fertility and plenty, giving them children, animals and harvest. Heis, however, also the author of disease, sickness and death. Man lost his ability to comeback from the dead due to the refusal of a woman, whose dog had died, to dress upand meet the newly risen, as was required. Seeing that men cared little about thedead, Ruhanga declared that from that on, they would no longer rise from the dead.
