OMG Jacob Zuma considers taking 5th Wife..

Jacob Zuma,72 ,who is currently the South African President who already has 4 wives has hinted he may likely go for the 5th wife.He explained that the decision might be important to him to effect because he wants a wife that will look after him at old age.

He disclosed this during a visit to Durban township Tuesday in KwaZulu-Natal, he said in Zulu “Angakayakhi indlu yokugugela… laba ngisabathathile nje" (I do have wives but I'm yet to marry my last one).

Sihawu Ngubane, a professor at KwaZulu-Natal University, was quoted by a local newspaper as saying it was fairly standard among Zulu people for a man who practices polygamy to take a last wife for his last years, sometimes the younger sister of one of his wives.

"They call the last wife 'indlu yokugugela' (the home in which I will age in) because the responsibility of looking after the husband in their old age predominantly lies with the junior wife, who is often younger than the other wives and more agile in case there is an emergency," he said.
