Father Of The Nation, a look at President Jacob Zuma’s children from his polygamous marriage

Jacob Zuma was the fourth South African President who served his term from 2009 to 2018. The celebrated president is best known for his polygamous marriage, which often thrust him into the spotlight. After all, that’s permitted in the Zulu culture. He has married seven times and has at least 23 children.

He hogged headlines when it was reported that his spousal support budget was R15.52 million, close to double the budget in the previous reign. Let’s dive into how his clan is divided into the older and younger line.

Edward Zuma

He is a celebrated lawyer and doubles as the CEO of several companies linked to his father’s business empire. No doubt he has seen himself trending for the wrong reasons, just like his younger brother Duduzane. He once hogged headlines from raping fellow students to defaulting multi-million rand loans.

Zane and Duduzane

These are the most popular and have become one of the most followed cum influencers. Their lavish life has thrust them into the spotlight. Of interest is the fact that the two are twins.
