Isaya Yunge has spoken out following his much-talked-about wedding to Charlene Ruto, issuing a warm but pointed statement that touched on gratitude, faith, and pride in his Tanzanian heritage.
The wedding took place on November 6, in Mwanza, Tanzania, and the celebrations clearly carried deep cultural and spiritual significance for the groom.
What did Isaya say about his wedding with Charlene?
Isaya shared a lengthy post on Tuesday, November 10, expressing appreciation to everyone who made the day possible.
In his post, Isaya singled out the Tanzanian government, specifically the office of the Mwanza regional commissioner and its various units, for their logistical support from the planning stages through to the ceremony itself.
He also gave a special acknowledgement to the Sukuma chiefs and elders of Mwanza, whose blessings he said played a central role in the occasion. Beyond the words of thanks, Isaya made a striking remark about his identity.
“DogoNiShoti but still this is my home and no one can change that,” he wrote, cheekily adding that the Sukuma people did not originate from Oman or England.
The statement appeared to be a direct response to outside commentary about his background, with Isaya grounding himself firmly in his ancestral land.
He closed his message on a deeply religious note, crediting God’s protection and provision throughout the entire process and describing himself and his new bride as “direct descendants of Jesus Christ, and ambassador of Heaven on Earth.”
