==Life==
Reuben Mukasa Mugimba Sobanja was born about the year 1900 in [[Uganda ]] in East Africa. A member of the Muganda ethnic group, Reuben was [[baptism|baptized]] and raised in the Anglican Church. As a teen, Reuben adopted the name "Spartas" because he had been told that he exemplified the spirit of ancient Greek Sparta.
Spartas received his education in the Anglican mission schools before continuing his education at King's College in Budo, Uganda. After his graduation in 1920, Spartas joined the Kings African Rifles where he met a fellow Muganda, Obadiah Basajjakitalo. In 1925, the two left the Rifles to found the Anonya Private School, near Degeya.
