A 24-year-old woman is set to become former president Jacob Zuma's seventh wife.
Nonkanyiso Conco confirmed to the Times Live that she and Zuma are getting married.
"Yes‚ we are getting married‚ but that is all I can say. I need to consult before I give any interviews‚" she said.
News24 reports that the woman gave birth to a baby last week at the Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital.
Conco is a director of the Pietermaritzburg-based Nomkhubulwane Culture and Youth Development Organisation‚ aimed at protecting the cultural practices of Zulu maidens.
Conco reportedly resides in the plush Ballito Estate Hilltop‚ home to some of the city's most well-heeled residents. She would be Zuma's youngest bride.
Zuma‚ who has always been a proponent of polygamy‚ is currently married to Gertrude Sizakele Khumalo‚ Thobeka Madiba-Zuma and Bongi Ngema-Zuma. He is divorced from Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and separated from Nompumelelo MaNtuli Zuma.
In total, Zuma has fathered 22 known children from at least 11 women.
"No date has been set yet. Both families must come together to decide on the date. We are still in the pre-nuptial phases of the process."
