Rwanda media may have intentionally skipped an important wedding of a low-key couple but this silence is too loud.
Teta Gisa Rwigema is the daughter of fallen Rwandan hero, Maj Gen Fred Rwigema.
On Saturday Teta officially tied the knot with her long-time fiancé Mervin Manzi at a colourful ceremony also attended by President Paul Kagame and other high profile personalities.
However, Teta’s brother Eric Gisa Junior was absent at his sister’s wedding; something that seemingly perturbed President Paul Kagame.
President Kagame addressed the people attending this ceremony and also registered his concern for the absence of Eric Gisa, Junior.
“Fred and I and our families’ friendship date from way back…Nshungyerezi, Toro and so on. Fred’s mother here bears testimony. I am concerned and I am sending you Teta, your mother Jeanette, and perhaps your grandmother, I have not seen at this wedding, Fred’s son,” President Kagame said.
“He should come back home…it is not right for him to live in exile…” Kagame added.
