JAHANNESBURG, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- South African President JacobZuma will tie the knot with his fifth wife, Thobeka Madiba, next Monday, local media reported, with no official confirmation.
Zuma's spokesman Zizi Kodwa on Monday said he was not aware of the president's reported wedding after the allegation released by the Sowetan newspaper.
"I don't know anything about the wedding. I am in Cape Town and Zuma is in Nkandla. I don't know what is happening in Nkandla," Kodwa said, adding he would be in a position to know whether the wedding would take place later on Monday.
Zuma tied the knot with his fourth wife Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma two years ago during a traditional wedding at his Nkandla home. Madiba has attended many official events with the president.
If the wedding takes place as reported, Zuma will have three current wives.
The president was legally married to Kate Zuma who died in 2000and Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Dlamini-Zuma and the president divorced in 1998.
