Goalie to star: sudden rise
The news of George Desmond Kamurasi's election as the king of the Toro people in Uganda is linked to an unexpected transformation in his life from a football player and amateur team member in England to a tribal leader. He was appointed by a committee of 21 members and received the majority of votes to succeed his late cousin and become the king of about 800,000 people, despite having grown up in the United Kingdom and being rooted in the royal family of the Toro people. Kamurasi now faces the decision to leave his life in England and move to Uganda to assume his new responsibilities, amid questions about his ability to represent the people after a difficult past that included imprisonment and reflections on his future as a king.
