As long as you live in Uganda, one thing is certain; weird stuff will always come from Mukono! Popular female councilor and law maker Ruth Nakamatte exchanged marital vows with her fiancee, Buyondo Manyigaalubaale in a shrine! Heads of traditional healers presided over the ceremony that has been the talk of Mukono town for the past week. Nakamatte arrived dressed in a white wedding gown which she later changed to wear a backcloth dress at the entrance of the shrine.
The event presided over by the two traditional healers, Kabona Jjumba Aligaweesa and Kabona Kayondo Nyongeraako held at the traditional healers’ headquarters at Ttakajjunge village in Nama sub-county in Mukono district on Sunday.

Buyondo was the first to enter the shrine which was filled by a number of traditional healers and their followers from across the country. Nakamatte, a professional nurse is a daughter of Mukono Central division National Resistance Movement (NRM) chairman Ssalongo Male Bakipakampulawa of Ntaawo village in Mukono Municipality.
Unlike the past where traditional healers were known to be operating in darkness, this time they did everything in broad day light. They also had recorded music and melodious singers who performed music interludes of the tunes praising the African culture.
They were only heard singing four choruses of traditional songs with drums only once as they were starting the service. They made the marriage vows; a service led by Kabona Jjumba whereby the vows were for good and for worse.
