Nadia Mbire ties the knot in South Africa
It was all glamour, opulence, gold, gold and more golden atmosphere in Johannesburg South Africa on Saturday, as Nadia Kabahita, daughter to renowned Businessman Charles Mbire tied the knot to her longtime lover, Yassah Matovu.
The high profile wedding took place in the prestigious Summer Place, in Sandton South Africa where the American Music sensation Trevor Campbell entertained the guests who included among others, the Chairman MTN Group, Prince David Wassajja who represented the Buganda Royal family among other guests.
The After party saw Nigeria’s music star Bannaboy entertain the guests.

The couple spent the last couple of weeks in Dubai, UK, USA and SA buying all the things they needed for their lavish wedding. Their introduction ceremony took place back in 2014 and the wedding was a long time waiting.
Nadia Kabahita Mbire is one of only two daughters born to tycoon Charles Mbiire, Uganda’s richest indigenous man whose worth is estimated at US$200 million. Nadia’s little sister Thandiwe Mbiire is a laid back gal but still finds time to enjoy the fruits of their father’s labour. At one time their father paid the singing duo of Brick and Lace hundreds of thousands of dollars for them to sing for the two girls who are Uganda’s version of the Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky.
But most Ugandans had never heard of Nadia in serious form because she was probably in one of the best private schools money can take one to, and having holiday trips to various five star destinations like Dubai, Monaco, Hollywood and Disneyland! While enjoying a jet set life full of adventure, Nadia fraternized with rich and famous celebrities such as Chris Brown, Tyga and Lil Brown and if in doubt, her Instagram account is testimony enough for the beautiful heiress of the Mbiire Empire. Then all of a sudden the ‘east-or-west-home-is-best’ bug hit Nadia hard; she discovered a new fondness for all that is good at home, even getting a lifetime partner in the process.
Indeed, Nadia brought the heat to Kampala every holiday displacing so many wannabes in her wake. Strictly socializing with those of the same class and stature, she has been known to make her rounds in Uganda, occasionally in the company of her peers like Lucy Bunyenyezi, daughter to tycoon Ezra Bunyenyezi of Security 2000 and the former Uganda Travel Bureau, a flourishing Tour and Travel Company of the 1970s and 80s. It is during such fraternizing times with her peers that Nadia would, at her best, host state-of-the-art parties as she made herself at home. But now happily married to Yassah Matovu, son to ceramic tiles mogul Yusuf Matovu of Youma Builders, Nadia’s father Charles Mbiire can now properly turn his full attention on raising Nadia’s younger sibling.
