Description

Tombe Bworo was one of the greatest of the famous men of the Ma'di tribe. It is said that when Tombe was spotted from afar approaching a village, word would spread quickly of his coming and mothers would frantically remove their children from the scene for fear that he might later snatch one of them for his food. Tombe Bworo was born in the mid-nineteenth century in Opari area in a village north of the present African Inland Church premises at Nyakaningwa. . . His ancestors are said to have come from a place at the foot of the two conical headed rocky mountain west of Torit Town.
