First Lady, a term that is used to define a wife of the head of State.  Must be nice to have this title on your shoulders.

Here is a list of South Africa's current and former first ladies:

Sizakele 'MaKhumalo' Zuma is President Jacob Zuma's first wife, they got married in 1973.

Nompumelelo Ntuli Zuma got married to the president in 2007, but got casted out of the President house in 2015 due to a plot to poison her husband (Jacob Zuma).

Bongekile Ngema, or rather the wife who usually accompanies the President on most of his international trips got married to the president in 2012.
