Prof Ngwenya three wives, MaMnkandla, MaMkwananzi and MaKhanye have this week openly spoke about their polygamous marriage, the good and the...
The first wife MaMnkandla said their marriage was unique
and cannot be easily understood by anyone who is not in touch with their real
culture. “Most people are quick to claim that maybe we are being abused or that
we are backward etc but the truth is polygamy is part of us as a people and
there is nothing wrong with it as long as you accept the conditions and why it
exists in the first place.
I knew that I would have sister wives from day one and when
I was told that MaMkwananzi was joining us, I even called my family and told
them that I had a sister wife; “We are not slaves, no, we actually have two
domestic workers to help us with the cooking and cleaning as we have a duty to
take care of all Ngwenya children,” she told The Chronicle.
