Their mother, Julie Mutesasira, is the happiest person alive, she has spent the whole of Monday dancing to the Kuzala Kujagana song. "God, I thank you. Thank you everybody that voted for Ezekiel and Esther I don’t know how to say thank you to you I really don’t know. My children, you have made Uganda so proud and East Africa at large. Thank you everyone for your support. Esther and Ezekiel, you have made me a proud mother, I love you so much not forgetting my sweetheart Elizabeth."
Esther, Ezekiel and their lil sis, Elizabeth "Glory be to God," their father noted while sharing a screenshot of the President's tweet. Uganda's President was also among those that congratulated Ezekiel and Esther. "The judges should be tough, diligent and dedicated to nurturing talent, not acting as if they are taking sides over the country one comes from. They should be judges and not motivational speakers, Tusker Project Fame had the best judges and it was the best so they should act that way," One commented on the verified EAGT page.
