South Africa's Presidential Polygamy

Jacob Zuma is taking all three of his wives to his inauguration as South Africa’s president this Saturday, sparking speculation as to which of his wives will take on the role of first lady. The 67-year-old has been married five times and has 19 children. He grew up a Zulu in rural South Africa, where polygamy is common, though he will become South Africa’s first polygamous president. Political experts say the role of first lady isn’t defined in South Africa as it is in the U.S., and that Zuma will probably rotate his wives through official occasions, bring them all along, or even have one of his daughters take on the role.
