Umwami Mutara III Rudahigwa Charles Léon Pierre - Imena | Ep 37 | ISHURI PODCAST | ISHURI.ORG
He was the son of King Yuhi IV Musinga and Nyiramavugo Kankazi Redegonde. He was coroneted on November 16, 1931 after the abdication of his father on November 13, 1931. During his rule, Rudahigwa advocated for the welfare of Rwandans, independence, democracy and fought against injustice through the King’s Court.
He married Nyiramakomali on October 15, 1933 but separated in 1940. He then married Rosalie Gicanda on January 18, 1942. He worked hard to educate Rwandans through the establishment of the Mutara Fund and requested the Catholic Church, through their Jesuits’ order to establish a college in Gitarama but, instead, the college was built in Bujumbura, Burundi.
Rudahigwa later set up the Islamic college in Nyamirambo, a Kigali, suburb and another school in Kanyanza and offered scholarships to many Rwandans to study in Europe. Under his reign, he eliminated all forms of slavery and subjugation and advocated for unity and reconciliation among Rwandans.
King Mutara III Rudahigwa died under mysterious circumstances on July 25, 1959 in what many consider to have been an assassination.
