These martyrs, Charles Lwanga and Matiya Mulumba, were among a group of 45 young men, both Catholic and Anglican, who faced execution by King Mwanga of Buganda between 1885 and 1886. Their unwavering faith in the face of persecution ultimately led to their sainthood in 1964.

The remains of Lwanga and Mulumba were originally sent to Rome by the Missionaries of Africa, a Catholic society. This transfer occurred before the canonization ceremony, where the martyrs were officially recognized as saints.

The exact date for the return of Lwanga and Mulumba’s remains is still under discussion, but Father Richard Nyombi, a member of the Missionaries of Africa, anticipates their arrival in September 2024. This return coincides with the 60th anniversary of their canonization by Pope Paul VI.

Upon their return, the remains will be displayed at Uganda Martyrs University alongside other powerful artifacts. These artifacts include a chain believed to have been used during the executions and a cross crafted from mvule wood, a material likely present during the historical events.

This news comes just weeks before Uganda observes its annual Martyrs’ Day on June 3rd. This national holiday draws millions of pilgrims from across Africa and the world to commemorate the sacrifices made by these young men.

Notably, some of those executed were pages serving King Mwanga himself, highlighting the brutality of the persecution.

Father Nyombi explains that due to the nature of the executions, some victims’ remains were not recovered, likely consumed by wild animals.

The return of Lwanga and Mulumba’s remains is seen as a timely event. Father Nyombi believes it offers a chance for the faithful to reflect on the martyrs’ unwavering faith and courage.

Some flight attendants are happy to share their thoughts about airline passengers and what they should or shouldn’t do online.

Former airline employee, Kat Kalamani, took to TikTok to reveal what drinks she thinks you should avoid after boarding. Unexpectedly, plain water was at the top of her list.

The former stewardess’ recording aroused considerable interest and has already been viewed over five million times. This is not surprising, because Kalamani raises a controversial issue in it, warning against drinking water during a flight. She also has reservations about coffee and tea.

The explanation of why you should avoid drinking water during a flight is both simple and surprising. According to her, the water tanks are never cleaned, which she describes very directly as “absolutely disgusting.” That’s why she and other in-flight employees she knows rarely drink coffee or tea. Kalamani strongly rejects anything made from water stored in tanks.

She has an additional reason to discourage passengers from drinking coffee. She explains that coffee machines are never thoroughly cleaned, this only happens when they need repair. According to the former stewardess, only partial washing is not enough to maintain hygiene, especially since these devices are usually located right next to the toilets.

However, Kalamani does not leave internet users without good advice. She recommends drinking only water and other drinks served in cans or factory-sealed bottles. According to her, it is better to last a few hours and forget about hot drinks.

She also has special advice for parents who ask for warm water during a flight to prepare milk for their baby. You should ask for bottled water and an extra cup of hot water to heat milk for your baby without the risk of poisoning.

Of course, water for preparing coffee or tea should be boiled, which should kill all the microorganisms contained in it. However, we are never sure whether it has actually undergone appropriate heat treatment.

Obviously, thousands of comments appeared under the video from people who reacted to the information provided by the former stewardess.

Some of them completely agree with her vision and confirm that they never drink water from airplane tanks. There are many other commenters who claim that they worked or work for airlines, and according to them this is the absolute truth.

“True! As a former steward, I can attest that this is 100 percent true,” one said.

“No wonder I got sick several times on the last flight from drinking tea. I vomitted,” another commented.

There were also completely opposing voices and people arguing that such a phenomenon does not occur with the carriers they are employed by. Water tanks and coffee machines are thoroughly and regularly cleaned.

“In my airline they are cleaned and we all love a good coffee or tea on board. Don’t believe everything you see on TikTok,” someone commented.

“She has no idea what she’s talking about. Water tanks are regularly sterilised. I know because I do it,” wrote another person in the comments section.

It is worth noting that it is not known for which airlines the TikToker worked.
