He was the only son of Kabaka Sekamaanya, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1614 and 1634. His mother was Nabakyaala Nabuuso, the Naabagareka, his father's only wife. He ascended to the throne following the death of his stepfather, allegedly, after killing him by witchcraft around 1644.
During the reign of Kimbugwe, Prince Kateregga had twin sons. Whilst performing the birth ceremonies in the presence of the Kabaka, Kateregga was accompanied by a different wife instead of the mother of the twins, because the latter was lame. Kimbugwe's inquiry about the absence of the twins' mother angered Kateregga, who stormed out midway through the ceremony. Kateregga declared war on Kabaka Kimbugwe, in which he usurped the throne from his cousin.[3]
Kateregga is noted for his violent character, and the persecutions he carried out against the Ngo (leopard) clan for their claims to have royal links. Members of the clan found themselves migrating, joining other clans or founding separate clans in order to hide their identity.[4]
To Buganda's territory, Kateregga added Butambala and Gomba through conquest. He installed his own chiefs in these regions as well is in south Singo.[5] His appointment of royal favourites to administrative positions in the provinces reflects a move away from the indirect rule of clan heads and hereditary chiefs towards more direct rule by the monarchy.
He died from a millipede sting to his genitals in 1674. He was buried at Mitw'ebiri.[citation needed] Other credible sources put his burial place at Buteregga, Busiro.[7]
