In 1991, a local woman saw him scavenging for food with chimps and reported it to the people in her village. The people then caught him. It was not an easy job because the monkeys put up a ferocious fight to prevent the people taking him away. The boy was then taken to an orphanage. There, he learnt how to behave and speak human ways. As he was able to utter his first words, it was discovered that he has a fine singing voice. John Ssbunya has now joined a 20-strong Pearl of Africa children’s choir and has made many tours to different countries.
