"You should produce
more children to replace those robbed by HIV/Aids," Mr Joseph Semwogerere
said at an introduction ceremony for Mr Sulaiman Kiggundu Jr. recently.
"But you should also
take the responsibility of looking after them."
Kiggundu introduced
his fianc�e, Ms Shakira Chansa Kamanga, to his parents at their home in
Kololo in Kampala.
Kiggundu Jr. is the
son of the managing director of the defunct Greenland Bank, Dr Sulaiman
Kiggundu.
Shakira is the
daughter of former Zambian Vice President Reuben Chitandika Kamanga
(RIP).
Kiggundu Jr. works
with HSC Bank Equator of South Africa as head of the corporate department
for sub-Saharan Africa.
The wedding takes
place today at the Inter Continental Hotel in Lusaka.
Semwogerere's
call has often been echoed by the Luwero district chairman, Hajji Abdul
Nadduli.
The Zambian
delegation had the MP for Kanyama (Lusaka), Mr Henry Mtonga, an uncle of
Shakira; and her mother, Ms Edina Kamanga, among others.
The older Kiggundu
appealed to his son not to sell his culture in the name of
globalisation.
"We're Muslims and
Baganda. You have now acquired education. We commend and bless you for
choosing Shakira as your wife but please stick to our culture. We wish you
a stable future and stable marriage," he
said.
