Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s daughter Nomcebo Zuma, who is King Mswati’s 16th wife recently took her first international trip with her new husband King Mswati.
JACOB ZUMA’S DAUGHTER FIRST INTERNATIONAL TRIP
Swaziland News reports that Jacob Zuma’s 21-year-old daughter, Nomcebo was recently introduced as King Mswati’s latest wife during the recent uMhlanga Reed Dance Ceremony.
The King left the country on Sunday, 13 October on a three-country work travel. He will be attending the World Food Forum in Italy, visit Serbia and further participate in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa.
The publication previously reported that Zuma daughter married the eSwatini Monarch as the King’s 16th wife.
KING MSWATI MARRIES 16TH WIFE
Former South African President Jacob Zuma became King Mswati’s 16th father-in-law in July this year.
The 56-year-old monarch’s latest wife is 21-year-old Nomcebo Zuma, who is the daughter of fellow polygamist Jacob Zuma.
TimesLIVE reports that Mswati’s majesty sent a delegation to Nkandla to present the Nkandla Crooner with 10 cattle as part of the ukucela customary practice that marks the beginning of lobola negotiations.
Three independent sources confirmed to the publication that King Mswati was expected to pay R2 million and 100 head of cattle as lobola for Nomcebo. The 21-year-old is the daughter of Zuma and Nonkululeko Hloniphile Mhlongo, also known as MaMhlongo.
The former president was reportedly not there to welcome them as he wasn’t happy by the idea of Mswati as a son-in-law.
Zuma mistakenly thought the king was inviting his daughter for the purpose of marrying her off to one of his sons when Nomcebo frequently visited Eswatini.
Sunday World reveals that Zuma apparently boycotted the ceremony when he found out his daughter was marrying the king.
The publication adds that MaMhlongo, who has two children with the former president, apparently told everyone that the negotiations would go on with or without him.

@LwandleMgudlwa: “Feels great to learn an old man is with Zuma’s daughter. He’s been with people’s kids. I love how these narcissists are dealing with one another!”
@StHonorable: “She was sold to the highest bidder.”
@KeSeRomeo: “This might be the last time she’s with her husband in 2024. She’ll meet him again in 2026.”
