DURBAN: South African President Jacob Zuma is to become a father for the 22nd time as his fiancee is pregnant, a media report said.

Zuma's fiancee Bongiwe Gloria Ngema, who recently accompanied the 68-year-old polygamous president on a state visit to China, is expecting a child next year, the 'Ilanga' newspaper quoted her close friend as saying.

Ngema already has one child with the president and a wedding date has been set for December, which will bring to four the number of South Africa's First Ladies.

Reports of Ngema's pregnancy comes only a fortnight after the arrival of President Zuma's 21st child who was born to his second wife amid claims that the newborn boy could be the result of an affair between his mother and her bodyguard.

The president, however, has dismissed the claims as "malicious rumours".

Zuma was forced to make a humiliating apology earlier this year following the birth, out of wedlock, of his 20th child to the daughter of a family friend.

marrying more than 1 wife is illegal in South Africa, unless you are muslim, but Zuma, because he's the president thinks he can do whatever he likes...

Actually, he had more than 1 wife before he was even president and uses the old Zulu tribal custom law to get away with it...

Ice Maiden, The Emir, Sheikh Hamad, has a similar number of kids, am sure he remembers all their names;-P

Yes men are polygamous by nature.

Women are too.

Basically, no-one is monogamous (for life) by nature. It's not natural.

i was surprised to know that men of masai tribes in tanzania can have upto 10 wives...and thats considered legal as per their own tribal law.

recently, many such tribal people have taken to islam and some are complaining on the fact that islam limits the number of wives to 4..

By betty boop• 6 Sep 2010 08:36
