In South Africa there has been much heated debate around this ancient African tradition. Moreover when the country's President has been actively involved with multiple spouses. Many South Africans feel disgruntled over the Presidents cultural activities of having multiple wives. However it is unsurprising that most criticism come from a particular group of South African society.
If this issue would be argued based on law, it would be a fruitless engagement because there's no wrong-doing in practicing your customary law in modern time even if you're the President of the most sophisticated country in Africa. Polygamy has been in existence for many years, it has never been so scrutinized until recent events involving President Jacob Zuma. We live in Africa for goodness sake, Africans regardless of their status in society or geographical location should feel free to practice their customs and traditions. But..big BUT, that notion shouldn't give males the passport abuse their rights.
