  • Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe (1860 – 15 November 1885) was a Ugandan Catholic martyr and the majordomo at the court of Mwanga II of Buganda, recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. The Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa came to Uganda in 1879. Balikuddembe was enrolled as a catechumen in the following year and along with Andrew Kaggwa, was baptized by Père Simon Lourdel M.Afr. (Fr. Mapera) on 30 April 1882. Balikuddembe took the baptismal name of "Joseph". From November 1882 to July 1885 the Catholic missionaries, for reasons of security, abandoned the Ugandan mission and re-located temporarily to the southern end of Lake Victoria. In the absence of the missionaries, Balikuddembe became leader of the Christians. King Mutesa was succeeded by his eighteen-year-old son, Danieri Mwanga II. Early in his reign, the new king began to crack down on Christian missionaries and converts in his country, and executed the British Anglican bishop James Hannington and his companions on October 29, 1885, ignoring Balikuddembe's pleas to spare the bishop. Godfrey Muwonge attributes this to the influence of Mwanga's Katikkiro (Prime Minister) Mukasa, who sought to control the spread of Christianity in Buganda by eliminating its teachers. Another reason that Mwanga killed Balikuddembe was because he spoke out against Mwanga's homosexual practices. As catechumens, the recent converts could no longer engage in activities which they saw as unchristian. Mwanga saw this as insubordination. As Mwanga's senior adviser, Balikuddembe spoke against the killing of the bishop. Mwanga viewed this a disrespectful. After a night-long interview the king condemned Balikuddembe to death. Muwonge says that the Katikkiro Musaka saw to it that the order was carried out before the king could change his mind. On 15 November 1885 Balikuddembe was taken to a place near the Nakivubo river where he was beheaded and his body thrown onto a pile of burning firewood. His duties were assumed by the young catechist Charles Lwanga. (en)

  • Józef Mukasa (ur. jako: Balikudembe Mukasa) (ur. 1860, zm. 15 listopada 1885 w ) – męczennik chrześcijański, święty Kościoła katolickiego, jeden z grupy Męczenników z Ugandy, zamordowanych przez króla Mwangę II. Był pierwszym ministrem króla Mwangii II. Pod wpływem nauk misjonarzy przyjął chrzest. Skrytykował króla za jego hulaczy tryb życia, że nadużywał alkoholu, za jego skłonności homoseksualne oraz za zabicie anglikańskiego misjonarza Jamesa Hanningtona. 15 listopada 1885 został zabity przez spalenie na stosie. Nie był pierwszym ugandyjskim chrześcijaninem zamordowanym za wiarę, ale jego śmierć była chronologicznie pierwszą uznaną za męczeństwo przez Kościół katolicki. 6 czerwca 1920 papież Benedykt XV beatyfikował go. 18 października 1964 roku Paweł VI dokonał kanonizacji jego oraz innych Męczenników z Ugandy, m.in. Karola Lwangę. Jest wspominany w grupie Męczenników z Ugandy dnia 3 czerwca. (pl)
