The wedding reception was held at Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC), a $ 2 billion (Ksh200 billion) metropolis in Butere owned by tycoon Mwale near Awino’s Yala home. In the video, Mr Mwale is seen giving Wode Maya the tour of the two-bedroom apartment at Mwale City and gifting it to him as a wedding gift, and another one bedroom to Miss Trudy.
The tycoon known for his generosity has built rental apartments for locals within MMTC to rent to workers within the City which is anchored by a 5,000-bed Hamptons Hospital.
“We spent only $1000 (Ksh115,000) on our wedding but God brought people who helped us with everything else,” said Awino who met her spouse Wode Maya, a Ghanaian three years ago during a YouTube assignment in Ethiopia. Wode Maya is the largest Youtuber in Ghana and commands over one million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Miss Trudy has more than 300,000 subscribers on YouTube. Their channels are popular for highlighting positive African stories.
Mr Mwale’s gifts to the couple highlights the power of digital media in Africa, where young African influencers command wider reach across the continent on social media, and are getting noticed by mainstream corporations.
