"Join me at the Royal Banquet this Friday, 27th Oct 2023 at Kololo as we prep for the Busoga Royal Kingdom," posted Zari on Wednesday, October 25, captioning an invitation card to another big fundraiser that will be held at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala on the quoted dates.
"... It will be a night to definitely remember."
The Busoga Kingdom royal wedding is set for November 11.
On Friday, September 22, 2023, the First Deputy Prime Minister, Rebecca Kadaga, launched a fundraising drive for the forthcoming royal wedding, set to take place later this year.
The Kyabazinga, William Gabula Nadiope IV, was introduced to Mutesi's parents in Mayuge district, which paved the way for a traditional nuptial ceremony.
A committee comprising 23 members was put together to oversee the organisation of the wedding.
The royal wedding organising committee is composed of: the presidential affairs minister, Milly Babalanda, as the local governments’ mobilizer; general duties minister Justine Lumumba, as the head of media; KCCA director Dorothy Kisaka, in charge of special assignments; the chairman of the Uganda Moslem supreme council, Dr. Mohammed Lubega, as the general coordinator; and David Batema, the resident judge of Iganga High Court.
Multiple organisations and individuals have so far contributed to the drive. Reports indicate that all clan heads will have to contribute at least one cow.
This decision was made at a meeting headed by the minister of culture, Richard Mafumo, at the kingdom headquarters in Bugembe.
According to clan the head spokesperson, David Igulu, this stems from the fact that clan chiefs are considered Kyabazinga's parents in Basoga culture. The Busoga Kingdom is made up of about 200 clans.
