Meet Jacob Zuma’s latest 22 year old wife

The prior president is obviously a natural polygamist and lover of women. In addition to his several wives, he is reported to have had over 20 children. When his time comes, this is just a small portion of the legacy he leaves behind, aside from his leadership efforts. Family will always be vital, after all.

He is the one who knows his motives best. But one thing is certain—he is a man who made this decision, and it seems to be working out just well. With so many wives, one may wonder how many kids Jacob Zuma has. He obviously has a large family.

What is the number of Zuma’s wives then? Many people have questioned this, particularly in the wake of rumors that he recently married a 22-year-old woman and the two of them had a 2-year-old child.

When he was criticized for this, he did not defend it. He, his brother, and a number of community leaders all claimed that this was quite typical for members of his clan. With all of these, it seems that polygamy is the norm and accepted in South Africa—that is, if you can take care of the women.

South Africa’s ex-president is a polygamist who has reportedly been married six times. Zuma divorced some of his wives but he has others to spend his retirement years with.

Zuma’s presidency was beset by controversy, especially during his second term. In 2014, the Public Protector found that Zuma had improperly benefited from state expenditure on upgrades to his Nkandla homestead, and in 2016, the Constitutional Court ruled that Zuma had failed to uphold the Constitution, leading to calls for his resignation and a failed impeachment attempt in the National Assembly.

By early 2016, there were also widespread allegations, later investigated by the Zondo Commission, that the Gupta family had acquired immense corrupt influence over Zuma’s administration, amounting to state capture. Several weeks after Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was elected to succeed Zuma as ANC president in December 2017, the ANC National Executive Committee recalled Zuma. After a fifth vote of no confidence in Parliament, he resigned on February 14, 2018, and was replaced by Ramaphosa the next day.
