The word “blesser”, or sugar daddy, is a
common phrase in South Africa, meaning an older man who gives a younger
woman money or gifts in exchange for sex. Her Facebook account has since
been deleted but the pictures were circulated on social media on
Wednesday. The Presidency has said it will look into the origin of the
photographs. “We will check the matter,” Presidencyspokesperson Bongani
Ngqulunga said. Zuma is a polygamist who has been married six times and
is estimated to have 20 children.
