ABSTRACT
Katuruka Preservation and Conservation Association (KPCA) meetings again focused on the proper reconstruction of Mugasha's shrine, though the deadening aura of the lawsuit remained over the KPCA during a year of limited activity in 2014. In September of 2015, several changes occurred that initially appeared to curb the downward spiral of the KPCA. KPCA plans for a village archive proved difficult to effect, what with the absence of a permanent structure dedicated to the invaluable documents. One of the significant contributions made by the Katuruka project beyond its ancillary programs at Kanazi Palace and Mazinga Cave is heritage intervention at shrines where today lived experiences among young people are re-interanimating this heritage. There is no way to predict if the Katuruka and other heritage initiatives will survive and prosper over the next decade. The infusion of younger people to offset the graying of the Katuruka committee is welcomed, development in positive directions and evoking a re-engagement by older long-term members.
