Businessman and politician Fred Nyanzi is set to exchange marriage vows this Friday, April 26 in Kampala. Nyanzi, the elder brother of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, will tie the knot with his long-term partner Majorine Nyanzi Katumba.

The wedding is slated for Friday morning at 9 am at St Mary’s Cathedral Rubaga, where members of the public are invited to attend. The couple will then host invited guests at Freedom City on Entebbe Road in the afternoon.

Speaking ahead of the big day, Nyanzi and his wife said they plan to disprove their detractors who mocked them when their initial wedding was abruptly cancelled four years ago.

The couple had their wedding cancelled just days before President Yoweri Museveni ordered a national COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020.“A lot of things were said, even the news, but we plan to make good on that by holding a historic wedding in the city,” Nyanzi said.

He added that the extra four years have afforded him time to prepare better for the big day.

“Some people say a wedding is best during your youth, but ours will be great. I think preparing yourself fully has its advantage.”

On her part, Majorine said the cancellation of the first wedding was part of God’s plan. “We as Christians know that God has a great plan. Yes, Covid happened, but what the devil meant for evil, God has turned it for good,” she said.

Nyanzi also confirmed that Bobi Wine, who is currently away in Europe, will be back in time for the fete.

Meanwhile, National Unity Platform (NUP) MPs have been told to contribute Shillings 3 Million each towards the wedding of Fred Nyanzi, the brother of party leader Robert Kyagulanyi.

Mayors subscribing to the NUP party also contributed Shillings 1 Million each. According to inside sources in the party, the contributions were made to show solidarity with Nyanzi, who is a key figure in the party’s decision-making process, particularly in selecting flag bearers during elections.

The contributions, which have been described as “voluntary,” have raised eyebrows among some party members, who feel that they are being coerced into supporting a private event. However, party leaders have defended the move, saying that it is a show of unity and support for one of their own.

The wedding, which is expected to be a high-profile event, has generated significant buzz in political circles, with many seeing it as an opportunity for the NUP to showcase its strength and unity.
