South African
President Jacob Zuma married his longtime fiancee in a private ceremony at his
rural home, making her one of his four current wives.
Zuma, 70, tied the
knot with Bongi Ngema in a traditional ceremony Friday in the town of Nkandla.
It is the sixth
marriage overall for the polygamous president - - one of his wives died while
another one divorced him.
The president
practices the Zulu tradition, which allows polygamy. While legal in South
Africa, polygamy is losing popularity with the younger generation in the
continent, where it is still practiced in some cultures.
Zuma -- who has 21
children -- embraces his culture, said Mac Maharaj, a government spokesman.
