JOHANNESBURG — South African President Jacob Zuma will marry his fourth wife next weekend, his spokesman confirmed on Sunday.

Zuma will tie the knot at his family homestead in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province, said presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj.

"I can confirm that President Zuma will formalise his relationship with his fiancee, Ms Bongi Ngema, in a private traditional ceremony at Nkandla this weekend," Maharaj told AFP.

Zuma, a known polygamist, will be married the sixth time. He divorced Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, South Africa's candidate for the African Union top post, in 1998. Another wife, Kate, committed suicide in 2000.
