Hamisa and her fiancé, Yanga SC soccer star Stephanie Aziz Ki, tied the knot in a beautiful Nikah ceremony held at Nnuur Mosque in Mbweni, Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
The wedding festivities began on February 15, when Aziz Ki honored cultural traditions by paying the bride price, which included 150 cows and 30 million Tanzanian shillings.
According to Hamisa’s mother, Shufaa Lutigunga, his son-in-law paid a bride price of 150 cows worth Tsh3.5 million each, which translates to Tsh555 million (Ksh27 million).
“I am so in love with my son-in-law. I had prayed for my daughter Hamisa to find a husband who would have a good relationship with her as a family and indeed God has answered my prayers. As for the dowry, we agreed on 150 head of cattle, which he paid at Tsh 3.5 million per head,” said S. Lutigunga.
