Nomsebo, the daughter of Jacob Zuma, former president of South Africa, will become the 16th wife of King Eswatini. The 21-year-old got engaged to her future husband, Mswati III, 56, during a traditional Umhlanga dance ceremony.
The ruler has headed the absolute monarchy in the African country since 1986, writes Stuff. This is not the first time he has married a girl who is much younger. His 13th choice was 17-year-old Findile Nkambule.
Mswati III has 16 wives
In 2001, Mswati initiated a rule that girls under the age of majority could not have sexual relations with him. However, a few years later, King Eswatini violated the actual ban created by marrying an underage girl. He then fined himself one cow and repealed the law.
Nomsebo Zuma was born and raised in a polygamous family. Her father has four wives and over twenty children.
