The delegation of relatives was flanked by Ugandan businessman Charles Mbire who acted as the family's spokesperson during the dowry ceremony.

Over the weekend, Andile officially proposed to marry Bridget Karungi Rwakairu during a traditional dowry ceremony at Mbabazi home in Kololo.

Ramaphosa's family, whose dowry of about 100 cows was rejected by the bride's relatives, was however fined one goat for cohabiting with their daughter.

Mbabazi said nothing is valuables to the resources used in raising a child and "women shouldn't be for sell".

He added that women should be accorded with "equal dignity as men".

The former Prime Minister was President Museveni's closest ally until he announced his intentions to vie for presidency in 2016.
