“Met Andile Ramaphosa and his delegation that called on me in Entebbe. Andile, son of President Cyril Ramaphosa, came to seek permission to marry Bridget Birungi, niece of former prime minister Amama Mbabazi. I wish the couple, that will be marrying soon, a fruitful marriage”, the President’s Twitter account read.

President Museveni on several occasions has encouraged youths to marry and be responsible and productive adults who respect the values of marriage.

The families held a successful Okushaba ceremony, a Kiga pre-marriage ritual that paves way for Okuhingira, the traditional marriage ceremony also known as ‘give-away’.

Ramaphosa and Bridget will hold the Okuhingira in August.
