Isaya Yunge reveals role Tanzania govt played in his wedding to Charlene Ruto

Isaya Yunge has thanked the Tanzanian government for its support in organising his wedding to Charlene Ruto, recognising officials who helped ensure the ceremony in Mwanza went smoothly.

In a message shared after the wedding, Yunge expressed gratitude to the government, particularly the office of the Mwanza regional commissioner and its various units, for supporting the event from the planning stage to its execution.

He also recognised the Sukuma chiefs and elders in Mwanza for their blessings and support during the celebrations, saying their contribution was important to the couple.

“Special thanks to the government of Tanzania, the office of the Mwanza region commissioner and all its units for their support from planning to execution and to the Sukuma chiefs and elders of Mwanza for their blessings and all support given to us,” Yunge said on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

The newlywed also thanked the people who attended the ceremony, including family members, friends and vendors who helped make the occasion possible.

Yunge expressed appreciation to everyone who joined him and Charlene as they celebrated their marriage, describing the occasion as the beginning of their journey together.

“Thank you for being part of our beginning, and for celebrating our joy,” he said.

He also addressed his connection to Tanzania and the Sukuma community, making it clear that he considers the country his home.

“But still, this is my home and no one can change that; the Sukuma People did not come from Oman or England,” Yunge said.

His message comes a day after Charlene shared details of her visit to her husband’s family home in Nyanguge, Tanzania, following their wedding.

She said she was warmly received by her new family, allowing her to meet the wider community that helped raise Yunge and learn more about his childhood. Charlene described the gathering as a joyful experience, revealing that they shared a meal and prayed together during the visit.

“What a joy it was to be hosted by my new family at home in Nyanguge just a few days after our wedding,” Charlene said on Monday, November 9, 2026.
