Just as we are recovering from the shock of Leone Island singer Guvnor Ace marrying a Mzungu woman, Swedish national Mona Lisa Larsson who is almost thrice his age, another Ugandan man has proved that age is just but a number.
27-year-old Steven Tikubuwana in Mukono is planning to wed a 70-year-old Zaituni Nakanda next year.

Sunday Vision reported that the two are already living together in Kyungu in Mukono municipality in a single-room house that belongs to the elderly woman.
“I lost my job as a shamba boy and I was homeless for about two months. Nakanda welcomed me into her home,” says Tikubuwana of how the two got together.
Tikubuwana says that his relatives and friends may not be happy with their relationship, but he does not care.
The Mukiga lad was previously married and he sired a son aged four and a daughter aged eight from his previous relationship. Howeve, he says that unlike his former wife, Nakanda is faithful and caring.
His children live with his parents in Kibaale, but he says he has not yet hit them with the bombshell of marrying a woman who is older than his mother.
He however plans to invite them to his him before the wedding.
