President Jacob Zuma is to marry Thobeka Stacey Mabhija in the rural village of Nkandla in South Africa's KwaZulu Natal province. It will be his fifth union - he's still married to two of his wives.

While many in the country are debating the president's polygamy - a zulu tradition - the media will not be there to cover the big event as they have been asked to to stay away and respect the privacy of the occasion.

Mohammed Allie reports from South Africa.
