One of President Jacob Zuma’s son’s, Duduzane, says the children are content to share their father with, as he puts it, "twenty or more" siblings.

He says the family has no problems with the polygamous nature of the household.

Duduzane adds that Zuma can add to the brood if he wants to, because his Zulu culture permits him to have as many children as he likes.

Duduzane is qouted as saying his father had his children's blessing to add to the brood if he so wished.

He says many of the Zuma children were adults who could help raise the younger ones.

President's spokesman Zizi Kodwa yesterday announced Zuma had cancelled his public engagements for the next two days so he could rest following a "hectic" schedule.
