Social commentator and businessman Frank Gashumba and his wife, Patience Mutoni Malaika, have celebrated the birth of their first child.
While speaking on Radio 4 on the morning of September 15, 2025, Gashumba shared his happiness, saying he was pleased to announce that both his wife and their newborn were in good health.
Earlier in the year, on May 15, Gashumba held a traditional Gusaba ceremony at Mutoni’s home in Ssembabule District. This cultural event is when a groom’s family formally seeks the bride’s hand in marriage.
Photos from the ceremony spread widely, and many people commented on Mutoni’s youthful appearance, with some even comparing her to Gashumba’s daughter, Sheila. In response, Gashumba dismissed such comments and described the critics as haters and people who had failed in life.
During the Gusaba, Mutoni’s family asked for Shs 6 million and 12 cows as bride price, a request that Gashumba fulfilled in full.
