The turbulence of Tebandeke's reign is attributable to his mental derangement and his violent nature.
During his reign, Tebandeke's children were faced with a severe illness and he sent for oracles to establish the cause of the malady.
The oracles prescribed a ritual, which the Kabaka performed and the children survived.
The mortified Kabaka had the oracles put to death and their temples burned down.
[2] He married five (5) wives:[3] He is recorded to have fathered only one child: Kabaka Tebandeke died at the Kanyakasasa Palace, Bundeke.
