Recently married media personality Mark Mukunja has sparked a conversation about the future of late comedian Kapere’s widow, Lydia Nakandi, popularly known as Mama Trump, after urging musicians and financially capable men to consider marrying her once she completes her mourning period.
Mukunja believes Mama Trump, who he says is still in her 30s, deserves another opportunity to find love and companionship following the death of her husband.
He made the remarks while encouraging men, particularly those in the entertainment industry, to express interest in her rather than assuming her future should revolve entirely around raising her children alone.
According to Mukunja, Mama Trump is already familiar with celebrity life through her late husband’s public profile and could comfortably adapt to life with a musician or another public figure.
“Men should look at this woman (Mama Trump). She is still young. At least a musician should express their feelings towards her and marry her because she could manage celebrity life, which she has lived most of her life,” he said.
Mukunja also stressed that any man who considers marrying her should be ready to accept responsibility for her children.
“Besides, many people are pledging to help the family, but they should remember that this woman is in her 30s. Even if someone is willing to marry her off, I don’t find any problem with it. You take her and even look after the children,” he added.
His comments come as Kapere’s family continues to receive public support following the comedian’s death.
King Saha and Betty Nambooze Step Forward to Support Kapere’s Family
Several public figures have already made commitments to assist the family as they navigate life after the loss.
Musician King Saha pledged to complete the unfinished house Kapere left behind, promising to see the project through even without financial support from others.
Meanwhile, Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze Bakireke offered to pay school fees for one of Kapere’s children, Quin.
Against that background, Mukunja’s remarks introduce another conversation about Mama Trump’s future, particularly the possibility of finding companionship again after mourning her husband.
However, his proposal remains a personal opinion. There has been no indication in the supplied account that Mama Trump has expressed interest in remarrying or responded to Mukunja’s suggestion.
Ultimately, any decision about her future relationships will be hers to make, whenever she feels ready.
