President Jacob Zuma marries the 6th time.

South African President Jacob Zuma will marry his fourth wife next weekend, his spokesman confirmed this morning. Zuma will tie the knot at his family homestead in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province.

He divorced Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, South Africa's candidate for the African Union top post, in 1998.
Another wife, Kate, committed suicide in 2000. The president currently has three wives. This will be his fourth wife. The president, who turned 70 last Thursday, is believed to have fathered around 20 children.

Zuma's adventures with women have often sparked controversy. In 2006 he was acquitted of rape charges after having consensual sex with an HIV-positive activist and family friend. He famously told the court he had taken a shower to protect himself against infection.

In 2009 he fathered a child with the daughter of 2010 World Cup local chief Irvin Khoza on the eve of the global event. Asked at his birthday party Friday whether he was done with marriage, Zuma replied, "I think so."
