Political activist and Kampala City Deputy Lord Mayor, Doreen Nyanjura, has joyously welcomed a newborn into her life. The heartwarming announcement came from opposition stalwart, Dr. Kizza Besigye, who shared touching images of himself with Nyanjura and the precious baby.
In the shared photos, Dr. Besigye affectionately addressed Nyanjura as ‘Mama Rena’, praising her courage by stating, “Congratulations ‘Mama Rena’, Omutatina (one never afraid), on fulfilling your ‘resolution’! It was a joy holding the newborn girl – Rena! Her other details are still awaited. Blessings always.”
This marks Nyanjura’s second child, adding to her beautiful family which already includes a nine-year-old daughter.
Doreen Nyanjura, born in Nyamabuga, Kyenjojo District, is a 33-year-old political figure who proudly identifies as a feminist and gender scholar. Known for her outspoken nature, she fearlessly voices controversial opinions, advocating for women’s rights and challenging traditional gender roles.
Among her bold statements, Nyanjura has famously expressed, “I am married to the ‘struggle’. I don’t have a husband, and I have told people that I don’t intend to have a husband, but I intend to have a partner because when you look at the husband in the African sense of the word, you know what I mean when I talk of a husband. For me, I have a partner, I don’t have a husband.”
As she embraces this new chapter of motherhood, Doreen Nyanjura continues to inspire with her unwavering dedication to her principles and her commitment to advocating for gender equality and social justice.
