Zuma’s wife “slept with bodyguard”
First Lady Nompumelelo Ntuli
First Lady Nompumelelo Ntuli was kicked out of the Zuma household just days before Christmas, accused of cheating on the president.
According to The Mercury newspaper in KwaZulu-Natal, MaNtuli spent the festive season away from Zuma after it emerged that she had allegedly committed adultery with a man meant to protect her.
Following this revelation, MaNtuli was not allowed to go to Nkandla as she had offended the ancestors and the Zumas.
She was eventually accepted back after a traditional ritual was performed months later.
MaNtuli is pregnant with what is believed to be Zuma's 21st child.
However, there are now questions about whether the child is his - as he travels around India with her on a State visit.
Zuma married his third wife, Tobeka Madiba-Zuma, in January.
MaNtuli was noticibly absent from the traditional ceremony and it was initially believed that this was because of the ongoing rivalry between her and Madiba-Zuma.
The Presidency has refused to comment, saying the matter was a private one. The president's nephew, Khula Zuma, said the Zuma family viewed the letter as "a continuation of the attack on the person of the president and his political career".
The Ilanga newspaper quoted a spokeswoman for the MaNtuli Foundation as confirming that the bodyguard - named as Phinda Thomo - had died and that MaNtuli had attended his funeral in Soweto.
The Times reports that he committed suicide.
