Polygamy is a practise that entails being married to more than 3 wives simultaneously, this practice is more common among traditionalist in South Africa, such as the Bantu and Islamic religions.
 
South Africa, contrary to several countries, condones polygamous unions. Current president Jacob Zuma is an  self-proclaimed polygamist, who has been married six times , he has twenty one children  among all and recently tied the knot to his fourth wife Gloria ‘Bongi’ Ngema. Wherein he engaged in a traditional ceremony reefed to as ‘Umgcagco’  in his homelands of Nkandla ; and a traditional reception known as ‘Umabo’ where the bride showers the groom’s family in gifts as the rest of his wives glimmer at the nuptials.

Polygamy is a practise that in not accepted in modern Christianity which raises the question…is Zuma practising the culture to accentuate his perception and detestation of the Christian religion?
Zuma  has many times in the public eye made his feelings clear towards Christianity blaming the religion for the lack of humanity in society. Zuma advocates that Humanity be the primary aim in all acts and expression in society , that leads the Recent spear of the nation painting that could be viewed as anything but an expression of humanity.


Could that be what he is referring to?
