Jovia Mutesi has been unveiled as the official wife of Kyabazinga of Busoga William Wilberforce Kadhumbula Gabula Nadiope IV. Mutesi will not only become the king’s official wife but will also be taking the title of Inhebantu of Busoga or Queen Consort.
The previous Inhebantu was Alice Muloki. Wife to former king Wako Muloki, Alice passed on in November 2005.
Unveiled as Busoga prepares for the ninth coronation ceremony for Kyabazinga Gabula, Mutesi is closer to becoming the inhebantu after successful traditional marriage ceremonies.
As he officially unveiled the portrait of the Isebantu Kyabazinga and the inhebantu of Busoga, Kingdom’s Prime Minister (Katuukiro) Dr Joseph Muvawala Nsekere, told reporters at Bugembe in Jinja that Mutesi was from the Baise Menha clan whose origins are in Bugweri.
“I am delighted to convey regards from the Isebantu Kyabazinga of Busoga His Majesty William Wilberforce Nadiope Kadhumbula Gabula IV. It is a momentous day for the people of Busoga all over the world as I announce that we have got Her Royal Highness the Inhebantu of Busoga following the just concluded traditional ceremonies earlier [on Thursday] that were successfully held,” said Dr Muvawala.
The Katuukiro also announced a wedding date for the Kyabazinga and inhebantu Mutesi.
“With the traditional ceremonies now out of the way, arrangements are underway for the Isebantu to present his dear wife to Christ Cathedral Bugembe on Saturday 18th November 2023 for the celebrations of holy matrimony and also unveil the Inhebantu to the people of Busoga and the world at large.
“This is a true reflection of how cultured the King and the queen are. As a person just like other Busoga adherents of the Kingdom, I am satisfied the Busoga’s missing link has finally been found and I can confirm with certainty that more blessings await us ahead.”
