Jacob Zuma's 'Love Child' Sparks Political Row

By Jonah Fisher BBC News, Johannesburg

South Africa's main opposition party has accused the country's president of contradicting the government's message on HIV/Aids prevention. The Democratic Alliance issued a statement after claims that Jacob Zuma had fathered a child out of wedlock last year.

There has been no comment from the woman, Sonono Khoza, Mr Zuma, or his party, the ANC. Mr Zuma married for the fifth time earlier this year. Although he is thought to have at least 20 children, Mr Zuma has always refused to say exactly how many offspring he has fathered. It is not surprising that, so far, neither the ANC nor the government have commented on the story, splashed across the front page of South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper. Allegations The newspaper alleges that a girl was born to Mr Zuma and a woman called Sonono Khoza last October. Ms Khoza is 39 years old and works for a bank. She has a famous father - Irvin Khoza is a friend of Mr Zuma and, as chairman of the World Cup Organising Committee, is one of the most powerful men in South African football.

Oh well, same old same old.

NObama’s daddy already had a wife and a couple of kids when Stanley Ann Dunham “married” him.

Barry has lots of siblings-—who knows exactly how many?

Daddy apparently set his own rules.

BTW- Anybody ever find a set of divorce papers between Stanley Ann & Obama Sr??

Watching the cop series “48 Hours” a couple of weeks back, the Dallas PD was working on the murder of a drug dealer who had fathered 22 children. I think they gave his age as 48 or 52, anyway younger than me. Did not say how many mothers were involved.

Sickening how some cultures think fathering many children, but not raising or supporting them, is a sign of manliness.
Ah, but as long as uncle sammy comes in with a regular check, the kids get school breakfast and lunches, etc. all is well.
