Jacob Zuma impregnates 24-year-old girlfriend Nonkanyiso Conco..baby boy born

A 24-year-old woman purported to be Jacob Zuma’s bride-to-be delivered a baby boy in the Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital on Thursday April 12, the same day the former president turned 76.

She had been listed in hospital records, obtained exclusively by TimesLIVE, as “Mrs Zuma”.

Conco confirmed on Friday that she was expected to become the former president’s seventh wife, but abruptly ended the conversation when quizzed about the birth of her child.

The paternity of the child could not be verified at the time of publishing and Zuma’s personal assistant refused to comment.

His platoon of protectors closed off a section of the maternity ward while he spent time with the woman who is 54 years his junior.

TimesLIVE earlier reported that Conco had confirmed she would wed the former president.

“Yes, we are getting married, but that is all I can say.

I need to consult before I give any interviews,” she said.

She would not comment on their courtship and their relationship in general.

Conco is a director of the Pietermaritzburg-based Nomkhubulwane Culture and Young Development Organisation, aimed at protecting the cultural practices of young Zulu women. times live
