President Zuma is better than men who keep concubines

South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma’s marriage to his fifth wife in a colourful Zulu traditional ceremony on Monday has attracted both praise and condemnation in equal measure.

But as much as many condemn him for what they consider ‘immoral’ practice, Zuma deserves credit for his boldness and honesty to officially marry up to five wives instead of keeping concubines. It is always easy to pretend to be monogamous.
