Ngizwe Mchunu’s polygamist lifestyle 

Ngizwe’s legal spouse is Siphelele Nxumalo. However, Ngizwe had tried to marry three women. South Africa’s legal system allows for polygamous marriages under the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act. However, they must be done in accordance with the recognised traditions and Mchunu failed to follow them.

Siphelele Nxumalo, his first wife, took him to court in 2014 in a bid to annul his civil marriage to his third would-be wife, Floda Mthimkhulu. Consequently his marriages to his second wife Lindiwe Khuzwayo and his third bride Floda were invalidated by the court.

They came to a conclusion that Mchunu had not complied with one of the requirements of traditional African marriages, which requires that any man wishing to take another wife must first make an appeal to court to approve a written contract governing the future matrimonial property system of the marriages. Notwithstanding, the DJ-turned-sangoma, married two wives on the same day!4 Nov 2014.

Incitement to commit public violence

Mchunu is a staunch supporter of former South African president Jacob Zuma. Before Zuma’s arrest and detention, Mchunu was seen patrolling his homestead insisting the president would not go to jail.

Although fans of Ukhozi FM miss his shows dearly, Mchunu still performs his journalistic roles fearlessly. He keeps power in check without fear or favour. That, in spite of his occasional clashes with authorities, Mchunu still maintains to be an entertainer.
