Kyozi

A story is set in the late 70's and 80’s, about a young boy called KAGUSHA MATTHEW, from a village in western Uganda, who was brought to the city to study, he narrates his story through school and compares his village to the city, and he describes the beauty of his village and his strong attachment to his culture. He centres his story on a cow called “KYOZI”, from which he shows the suffering and stigma an AIDS patient goes (went) through. Himself being HIV positive, he also tells us his personal struggles, all in relation to Kyozi-the black cow. The story is written in such a way to attract the youth to read it, though full of sorrowful moments, especially when he narrates his love for a girl at high school called “JOY ACAYE”
