BREAKING: Zuma’s wife had affair – report

Ayeye first lady, ayeye!

So what if she had an affair? He, our pres, is NOT setting a good example in any case. If he were my husband (thank God he's not), I too would've had an affair by now.

Good for you MaNtuli!

Oh how the tables have turned!

Good for u JZ!

hmmm...Mel, I can't help but agree with you. Having a man like Mr President could be a tragedy. Heartbreak and disappointment at their peak.

So does it mean that the president does not do his husband duties?

J-Zee is a very busy man and does not have time to satisfy all the wives who are very active and mind you J-zee is not young any more. I don't blame MaNtuli for that. J-Zee was greedy enough to have more than one wife (what was he thinking) & mind you for every one woman there are ten men so MaNtuli if he is lacking in that department you have every right to replace him (as long as you did not break any law, just like him when he took so many wives.

This is just absurd! We are already in the spotlight and now with scandals like this we become the mockery of the world!

He is marrying young women who have needs. Even if he is strong he can’t meet their demands plus his job. Good luck, tata, young and hungry men are watching.

The letter was probably written by another wife, especially if there's in-fighting, just to make herself look like the better wife. Why can't the author of the letter come out and show evidence? If she was having an affair, how come the family knows about it? It would be a secret and she wouldn't do it in front of other people or make it known. If I was the bodyguard I'd take my life as well. No one would have believed him and he would have probably died mysteriously. I say she's being sabotaged and her jealous in-laws must not get too excited. If Mr Zuma is a real man he will clear this nonsense and stand by his wife. She stood by him as well after all his scandals.

Waqhawuka unobathana (big trouble).

Mel, if he was my husband I would have gone the Kate Mantsho route.

Ag, it's ok. He gets a taste of his own medicine.

Unconfirmed rumour has it that the alleged father of the unborn child, bodyguard Phinda Thomo from Dobsonville, Soweto, who has since committed suicide, had strong ties to Irvin Khoza and was in fact influenced by Khoza to enter into an extra-marital affair with MaNtuli as an act of revenge for Zuma getting his daughter pregnant!

The Zumas are not living by Julius' "One boyfriend, one girlfriend" campaign.

Please let's leave our president alone. I am not his fan but I respect him as my president and father as well as grandfather. STOP... MEDIA, PLEASE STOP degrading President Zuma.

Yeah, so our prez got a taste of his own machine. This clearly answers a question recently asked by one writer; 'what assurances did we have that we would not be hit by another scandal involving the prez and his family'. It's so repulsive! Our prez must keep his house in order!

So what? Leave our president's wife alone! We will excuse her because her husband is the champion of the poor! You are tjatjarag! The child might be your president one day because it will be born of the people who have earned their zebralines (stripes) of fighting against oppression in the hands of our colonial masters! :) Sounds familiar?

This is madness! And the president will once again claim that he is HIV negative. What a president, Mbeki was & is 100 times better than Zuma.

Hi, BJS Cape Town. So it looks like you are exactly like MaNtuli. Can you promote such behaviour in this time? I am really disappointed. Why in the first place did she agree to be married to a president knowing very well that he's a polygamist? Is it that MaNtuli is a poor gold digger? She's going to suffer because the President will (take away) everything including the children. She is so selfish and dangerous.

When people questioned the example Humping Dumpty was setting they were shouted down. Now look who's allegedly followed his example!

Women of Mzansi, this is exciting! Too bad the guy is no longer with us as all that needs to be done in such a case is marry the man. Zuma has his polygamy, she can have her polyandry. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I say, let's shake the status quo and cause a revolution!

What did the Prez expect? Anyone who has more than one wife must know that the chances that those wives will cheat are very high. A very young woman, marrying an older man is bad news. It's worse if the older man has lots of young wives... recipe for disaster. MaNtuli is seeking what any sane woman would seek. She ain't getting any at home.

@Mthimbana, she agreed to be married by a polygamist but not by a cheat, does the word 'Sonono' ring a bell?

What took her so long??

In Africa we do things in the African way, and we help one another where needs be. The poor body guard was simply helping MaNtuli and the president because surely there was a need. It is like those men who work in cities and leave their wives in rural areas... or those in long-distance relationships. There are guys who are helping you to look after your families. It is a bitter pill to swallow but it is a fact.

If I was MaNtuli I would do the same. If it's true, it's still ok with me, if not, well...

This is crazy. What did Zuma expect? No woman can stand the fact that her husband has more than one wife. He knew that one day this would happen so let's not blame the poor lady (MaNtuli) she just needed attention that's it. Maybe Zuma will think twice before he marries another woman...after this incidence!

Lets leave Zuma alone, this is painfull for him and the family including maNtuli.

Zuma kick her out of your life!

I was told once by a rural old man that it is custom in some black groups for a woman to have at least one child out of wedlock. Just in case the husband is not so clever. This ensures that at least one child will not inherit his intelligence, or lack of it.

Zuma and his wives are nothing but a joke! I'm even ashamed that this man is my president! Kindly buy him a Bible maybe he will repent for his immoral doings.

This is the worst president we've ever had and I hope there isn't going to be another one either like him or worse than him.

Quoting Deborah Fraser's words, "it will ruin her spiritual life". Clearly this woman doesn’t fear God. If that was the case she would have never married Zuma in the 1st place.

Such is life... I feel for MaNtuli, cause her image will forever be tainted. Unlike a man who is praised for being a casanova, negative words will be slung at her. Everyone must be asking, what is up with this woman? She is living in the lap of luxury and has what most people would wish for. So why couldn't she just do right? Strangely enough, the money, trips, clothing, houses etc. mean nothing without Zuma's constant attention and affection. Not just on a rotational basis, but like any girl she wanted to be "the end all and be all" in his eyes. Every woman feels that at some point in their relationship! You've bent over backwards to adjust your life and social practices (eg. watching soccer instead of movies) and circles (his friends are mine, but mine should keep a distance), to be at his side. Zuma is somewhat of a traditionalist, he runs his family like a typical African man would. Unfortunately, times are changing and he must learn to change with those times. With each wife he takes, South Africans ask HOW does he do it – keeping each one fulfilled? Women DON'T want to be treated as assets or to be seen, but never heard! Undoubtedly, even if he wanted to, JZ could NEVER "juggle all the balls" – he was bound to neglect something that would cause a rift in his relationships. It will take LOVE... no not that exciting fuzzy feeling kind of love, but the kind that makes one say... form the pit of their stomach and darkest corner of their heart – "I FORGIVE YOU and want to continue working towards a life together!" I hope they get past it.

Please concentrate on your life. Such things do happen in life. Just because she is the president’s wife you have to publish everything. We also make scandals.

long live Mantuli

Is it possible that these women married Zuma for what they can get from him - power, prestige, financial advantage, and the perks that come with being "you're once, twice, three times a (First) lady" ?

Nku - there's nothing wrong with maNtuli. She discovered that the best things in life are not things.

Well done, first lady. You made us proud. You can cheat. Good for you.

Let's respect our President's private life. One day this will catch up with us. The evil that one does shall be paid back.

Stupid MaNtuli! She must have known a long time ago that he would not give her what she wanted. She is fond of the limelight, hence her marriage to the married head of state. It's time that people should start building their own fame and fortune instead of climbing on others' shoulders.

Bad publicity indeed.

It is even worse than polygamy where you at least have to keep all the women and children under your care. As for those justifying Ntuli's infidelity, 'a wife is a wife", if you don’t like it, don’t marry a married polygamist or just divorce him when you've had your fill. Sneaking around with your husband's employees is a disgrace to you, your children and the country he represents. Moreover, it is disrespectful to your husband. I bet if this is true, she will have to follow have boyfriend by doing the honourable thing: fall on her sword. A bastard child destroys the household!

Well said, Nku. You sure are a woman. But MaNtuli is very hot, who wouldn't want to do her while the Cat is away?

All you people, you sound & talk like you are innocent, you don't fool around, JZ is a man cause he did what is right, not to cheat but to marry instead, do not judge before looking at yourself.

What goes around comes around! What can you expect from somebody who is associated with Zuma, that is his type of girl. Zuma is not exactly what we would call a role model, is he?

Why this geraas about this issue? Let’s just wait for the child to be born and the head will tell who the father is! HAU.
