South African president Cyril Ramaphosa is headed to Uganda for a dowry payment ceremony. His son, Andile Ramaphosa will be walking down the aisle with a Ugandan woman Ms Bridget Birungi Rwakairu.

The bride-to-be is a 37-year-old niece to former prime minister and presidential candidate, Amama Mbabazi.

Well, she is all beauty and brains.

The lucky woman holds a post-graduate degree in Business Administration from Beijing University of Science and Technology. She also holds a BSc, Environmental Engineering from Beijing Jiatong University.

The ceremony will be held at Mbabazi's home this weekend in Uganda which will see the South African president cough millions for the gifts and the 100 herds of cattle.

Their white wedding will take place later this year.

This will be probably one of the posh weddings East Africa has seen. Recently, daughter to Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote,  Fatima Dangote tied the knot with  Jamil Abubakar.

The posh wedding was attended by billionaires across the world among them founder of Microsoft Bill Gates.

Others who graced the wedding were Media personality Jeff Koinange, President Buhari, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Bola Tinubu, Ooni of Ife, Oba of Lagos, oil magnate Femi Otedola, Jim Ovia, many state governors and members of the National Assembly.

Singers Davido and Wizkid also got a chance to share the stage with the billionaires as they performed their number one best selling songs.
