Earlier today, prominent socio-political activist Frank Gashumba held a traditional Kukyala ceremony with his partner, Patience Mutoni Malaika, in a quiet and intimate gathering.
The event was hosted at Patience’s family home in Sembabule District and was attended by a select group of guests, including notable politicians, media personalities, fashion icons, and socialites.
Gashumba, whose love life has remained largely out of the public eye, surprised many with this move.
The ceremony marks a significant moment in his personal journey, following years of speculation about his relationships especially after parting ways with the mother of his daughter, Sheilah Gashumba.
Despite his high public profile, Gashumba has consistently kept his private life under wraps, often focusing on activism and advocacy. However, his admiration for family and women has been a recurring theme in his public discourse, and this step appears to reflect those values.

According to close sources, this Kukyala is an introduction ceremony, though whispers of upcoming wedding plans have already begun circulating.
Photos from the ceremony have started trending on social media, with Gashumba taking to his X account to thank fans and well-wishers for their support during this milestone moment.
