South Africa President takes Ms Ngema as fourth wife
South Africa’s polygamous President Jacob Zuma on Saturday, April 21, celebrated his sixth wedding in a second day of weekend festivities filled with traditional Zulu culture.
The 70-year-old formalised his relationship with long-time fiancé Bongi Ngema on Friday with Zulu song and dance while dressed in leopard skins and carrying a shield surrounded by men in similar warrior attire.
The businesswoman became Zuma’s fourth wife in Nkandla, deep in the KwaZulu-Natal countryside, where on Saturday she handed presents to Zuma’s family at his homestead in a gift ceremony.
The wedding is his third in just over four years and the second since coming to power in 2009 as the country’s first president with multiple wives.
South Africa’s office of the Presidency confirmed that the president’s three existing spouses were among the crowd as he tied the knot with Ms Ngema, a businesswoman with whom he has a seven-year-old son.
In all, he has married six times and has 21 children. One of his wives has died, and another – home affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma – divorced him.
I still imagine a president of a country for that matter getting married to the fourth wife in this present civilized world. It is shameless. I don’t know how he will be able to satisfy them sexually. Anyway, that is his own problem.
