Jacob Zuma’s Daughter Becomes the 16th Wife of Eswatini's King | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A daughter of South Africa's former president Jacob Zuma was among hundreds of women and girls who danced for the king of Eswatini in a traditional ceremony, confirming her engagement to the monarch. 56-year-old King Mswati chose 21-year-old Nomcebo Zuma who will be his 16th wife. The kingdom justifies this as tradition. But is it culture or a grotesque power dynamic? Palki Sharma tells you.

Who told you africa is Western, glorifying homosexuality but critizing polygamy 😅😅

[@stormywinde1559]

Well, no offense but though don't support polygamy; however, polygamy is more natural than homosexuality even in the animal kingdom. Homosexuality is a freak of nature and has never been natural nor would it ever be, regardless of how anyone wants to paint it. Homosexuality calls for the extinction of the human race and it is wicked. Humans should multiply and replenish the earth, which is meant to be inhabited, and not let it go stagnant with homosexuality.

[@eswatinichillout]

As a Swazi, I understand that our traditions and cultural practices are deeply rooted and hold significant meaning for us. The marriage between King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma, the daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, is indeed a reflection of our cultural heritage. In Eswatini, the Reed Dance, or Umhlanga, is a traditional ceremony that celebrates womanhood and chastity. It is a significant cultural event where young women perform in front of the royal family, and it is during this event that the king may choose a bride. This practice is part of our long-standing traditions and is respected by many within our community. While some may view these customs through a different lens, it is important to recognize that cultural practices vary widely around the world. What may seem unusual or controversial to some is a cherished tradition to others. Our culture and traditions are an integral part of our identity and history. However, it is also essential to acknowledge that traditions can evolve over time. Discussions about how cultural practices align with modern values and human rights are important. It is possible to honor and preserve our cultural heritage while also considering the well-being and rights of all individuals involved. In summary, while the marriage of King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma may be seen differently by various people, it is a part of our cultural fabric. Respecting and understanding cultural differences is crucial in fostering mutual respect and appreciation.
