Makosi support for ’honest’ Zuma
BIG Brother star Makosi Musambasi claims that ALL African men have polygamous tendencies, and hails South African President Jacob Zuma as an “honest man” for marrying three wives.
Makosi said: “People are up in arms because Jacob Zuma has married a third wife.
“For me, a third wife is better than a concubine ... all married African men have a concubine, and we should be thankful that some are just honest about it, like Zuma.”
Zuma married his third wife two weeks ago, and his office revealed he had paid bride price for a fourth woman.
Traditionalist Zuma was blasted by women’s groups and health campaigners who say polygamy degrades women and his polygamous marriages are hindering an HIV/Aids campaign for men to keep a single partner and reduce promiscuity.
But Zuma’s supporters say polygamy is part of Zulu tradition, and insist the President has done nothing wrong.
