They say one can’t know the true colours of a human being until the issue of money comes at play. We bring you the sad tales of how property and relationships are promising to divide the Mayanja family even before the last funeral rites (olumbe) of AK47 have been completed.
Days back, we broke the story of how Nalongo Maggie Kiweesi, the widow to AK 47 had moved on with another man. However, sources have confirmed that she’d not just moved on. She was already seeing the new man prior to the death of AK 47. The new man is Isaac Semanyi, a real estate agent with Millenium Estates and also a Vice President of the All African Students Union (AASU). Semanyi completed his first degree at Makerere University and is currently pursuing a degree in Law at IUIU.
Now the Mayanja family says that Semanyi is the one pushing Nalongo Maggie to see that AK47’s house is transferred into her names. This move has been rejected by the Mayanja family who insist that the house can only be transferred into the names of the twins. Other family members in support of the transfer of the land titles say they have no problem with Maggie owning the house as long as the authenticity of the twins can be established.
In UK where she spends a good number of months, Maggie was given a free council house which she apparently rented out, something that is illegal for the case of single mums. Her children are all British Citizens as they were born in UK.
Two weeks back, Nalongo Maggie together with her Lawyer stormed the home of her in-laws and demanded that they quickly grant her ownership of the house before she pursues the legal route. This angered the Mayanja family who insisted that she’s simply being greedy. Chameleone’s mother was heard telling Maggie to be patient and wait until the Last Funeral Rites where AK 47’s property will all be brought to the table and handed over to her as per the Buganda customs.
Nalongo Maggie rejected this saying she can’t afford to pay her rent in Kiwatule anymore. She claims to be renting a house in Kiwatule at Shs. 1 million per month. Yet, some of the Mayanja family members insist that she’s simply looking for public sympathy. “We are very sure she’s now residing in Mutundwe as a girlfriend of Semanyi. They simply want to sell the house and buy a new one for themselves since Semanyi is a real estate agent. We can’t allow her to have things her own way, due course must be followed,” said a relative of AK 47.
Semanyi is planning to marry Maggie this year having done the kukyala at their home. We don’t know how this scandal will end but we are bound to see the battle lines drawn and more accusations being traded. Maggie insists that she has a right to move on as early as she wishes. “I wasn’t legally married to AK 47 but as the mother of his children, I am entitled to his property. And whoever doesn’t understand this must be nonsensical,” Maggie told friends.
