Aging Mzungu eating young Kampala chics

Today older men who have money have continued to sleep with young girls as well as “slay queens” because the girls love money and can do anything to get it.

While no statistics are readily available, older man-younger woman couples have long existed and may be becoming more prevalent and more socially acceptable. In certain Kampala and corporate circles, especially among financially successful men, the practice is so common that these younger women, usually second wives, have been given the disparaging nickname of “side chics.”

When Sarah Birungi met her boyfriend, she was 32 and he was 43. That is, he said he was 43. They met online, so how could she know for sure? After their first rendezvous in person, he confessed: he was 52. The 20-year age difference between them didn’t trouble her. She’d already fallen for him.

Three years later, they’re happily living together in Muyenga, a rich Kampala suburb. The age difference doesn’t show up when they’re driving sleek cars or frequenting beach parties and clubbing. The gap appears when they talk about their future.

Eager to get the education she missed when she was younger, Birungi is enrolled full-time at Makerere Adult and Evening Class and plans to go to law school as well. A mother of four — her oldest is 12 — she is preparing to launch a career for the first time. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, is on the downside of his working life.

Now his goal is to retire as soon as he can. He’s got three kids: one in college, one about to start college, and one who is 10 years old.

The unfortunate part of it is that when Birungi spends her evenings studying, he sometimes complains that she’s ignoring him, she says. “I tell him I’m doing this so you can retire and I’ll be able to earn money for us,” she says. They’ve worked out a compromise. She studies only on week days and he often joins her. “I read him philosophy and he helps me figure out what the heck they’re talking about.”
