Mampara of the week: Jacob Zuma

Bride's blushing father

We hear that President Jacob Zuma, on more than one occasion, referred to his new son-in-law, Lonwabo Sambudla, as "Sonwabo" at the former Lembede CEO's wedding to his daughter Duduzile .

With the presidential brood having grown to 22 at the last count - the latest arrival being Manqoba Kholwani Zuma in August last year - perhaps the president may be forgiven for the mistake.

Two of the president's daughters are married, and others may be following suit. Which means more names will be added to the Zuma clan. Maybe a piece of paper on hand next time, with the correct name?

While the two names sound similar, getting your new son-in-law's name wrong on the big day, in front of hundreds of guests, really is a Mampara move.
