According to The Herald, Misheck Nyandoro from Zimbabwe is not planning to stop having more children. The man intends to take another wife, saying polygamy is a lifestyle he undertook in the 80s.

“Polygamy is a project I have undertaken since 1983 and will end with my death. I am planning on taking another wife, and the formalities are already being worked on. I will tell you when I marry,” he told the publication.

“Every wife cooks her best every day because the rule is I only eat what is delicious and throw away what is not tasty. They all abide by the rule and do not get annoyed when I return badly cooked food,” he said.

“I go to the targeted bedrooms one by one. That is my job. I am not employed. My duty is to satisfy my wives,” he said.

Having married his first wife in 1983 and the youngest in 2015, Misheck said hard economic times halted his plans of having 30 wives by 2021.

He also affirmed that he has not stopped making babies and marrying, saying he could reach 100 wives and 1 000 children.

“I am a war veteran. The government pays for my children’s fees. I have no problem,” he added.

In similar news about polygamy, Briefly News reported on the situation of polyandry in SA. Although traditional polygamy is widely acceptable in large parts of Africa, there are different gender expectations that come into play when women express a desire to have more than one husband.

A local policy adjustment by the Departments of Home Affairs is hoping to challenges these prevalent double standards. If passed, the new marriage act could see more inclusive rights for women who choose to keep multiple husbands.
