Video: Sadio Mane’s wife receives heroine’s welcome upon her arrival to school after marriage


Sadio Mane’s recent bride received a warm welcome upon her return to school after marrying the Al-Nassr football star.

Aisha Timba, who is 18 years old, tied the knot with Mane in a ceremony this month and resumed her studies the next day.

Tamba stood on the balcony of a block and waved at the students who gathered and chanted ‘Sadio amenda jabar – Aissaa amena jekeur’, to wit ‘Madame Sadio Mane’.

In a video shared by Senegalese outlet Senenews, Aisha was greeted with songs from her fellow students as she waved to them.

Mane made headlines following his marriage to Timba with allegations of child marriage due to Timba’s age. According to netizens, Sadio was dating a minor, which is an offence and a violation of human rights.

In response to these claims, Tamba’s father detailed that Mane set eyes on his daughter when she was 16 but had to wait until she turned 18 before marrying her.

‘My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.

‘He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me. We discussed as per tradition, agreed on everything, and waited for this day to happen.’

He clarified that Sadio Mane did not date the young lady when she was a minor.

‘They were not dating because Aisha was still young.’

The ceremony, which was held at Keur Massar, Dakar, Senegal, had in attendance close relatives of Mane and his new wife.

According to reports, Aisha Tamba is originally from Casamança, and like her husband, she speaks Madingue.

Meanwhile, Mane is currently in Cote d’Ivoire, preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 31-year-old aims to contribute to Senegal’s quest for a second consecutive AFCON victory.

Senegal’s AFCON 2023 campaign kicks off against Gambia on January 15, and they share a group with Cameroon and Guinea.
