By Paul Nyathi|Former South African President Jacob Zuma will be wedding wife number six with reports of him impregnating a twenty four year old lady.

His new bride is stunning Nonkanyiso Chonco.

Chonco confirmed to South African media that she and the elder statesman were set to wed.

“Yes‚ we are getting married‚ but that is all I can say. I need to consult before I give any interviews‚” she told journalists.

Chonco is a director of the Pietermaritzburg-based Nomkhubulwane Culture and Youth Development Organisation‚ aimed at protecting the cultural practices of Zulu maidens.

Reports indicate that Zuma and his family have apparently already paid lobola for her, and both families are understood to be happy with the union.

Zuma celebrated his 76th both day earlier this month.

The former president is also reported to have become a father again after reports indicated that a 24-year-old woman suspected to be Chonco gave birth to his child in a Durban hospital last week.

News24, a South African daily revealed that the child was born at the Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital last Thursday – Zuma’s birthday.

Zuma is a polygamist who has fathered 22 known children from at least 11 women.

Three independent sources confirmed to News24 that Zuma came to visit his baby under strict security on Thursday night.

“They had to clear the maternity ward for other patients. Hospital staff made it clear that this was strictly confidential,” a source with direct knowledge of the birth told News24.

Ray Zuma, who is related to the former president, confirmed to the media that Zuma was going to wed a woman named Nonkanyiso Chonco.

When asked if Chonco was the same woman who had given birth to a baby earlier this month, Ray Zuma responded by saying: “So?”

“I can’t see why you are interested. When he was still the president, you [the media] were terrorising him, and now you are all of a sudden interested in him.”

When asked about the details of the wedding, he said he was not privy to the details.

“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.”
