Sixth bride set to marry South African president
President Jacob Zuma will marry for the sixth time next weekend when he takes his long-time fiancée, Gloria Bongi Ngema, as his fourth current wife.
Mr Zuma is a Zulu traditionalist, and polygamy is legal in South Africa. His spokesman said the wedding would take place in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province. Mr Zuma is divorced from one wife and another took her own life in 2000. REUTERS
