I never liked that south africa....everything about them is inverse and opposite....slavery has dried up their correct thinking....here in America....the south Africans here still behave dumb and stupid too...infact I regret helping a south African here that was suffering and in a very bad situation....I bought her cell phone and help her secure accommodation and job and then she showed how an ingrate south Africans are when you help them......that also reminds me how ungrateful they are to Nigeria that help them get free from Apartheid..........their men are lazy physically and mentally.....thats why their women run after Nigerian.....very uncreative and evil set of people

How I wish Nigerian know how great we are as Nigerians...

In this generation that men are scarce like diamond. How many girls get one to marry not to talk of two. Ask every 21yrs and above her first prayer point she will tell you husband.

Mixed feelings about allowing SA women to marry more than one man

While South Africa's marriage laws could in the near future allow women to marry more than one husband (polyandry), just as polygamous men can have many wives, there is still uncertainty surrounding the concept.

Legalisation of polyandry is one of the wide-ranging proposals in the Green Paper on Marriages. The country's Department of Home Affairs published the landmark 67-page policy document this week.

The department stressed in the document that it sought to create a new marriage act that will allow all in the country to have recognised, legal marriages.

A few types of marriages in the country are not recognised; and on the other hand, marriage legislation is deemed to not promote equality.

Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Rastafarian marriages are not recognised by South African law and the Green Paper also puts up proposals for their recognition.

“Moreover, activists submitted that equality demands that polyandry be legally recognised as a form of marriage,” said the document.

Polyandry and polygamy emerged as some of controversial topics during the ministerial dialogues.

Traditional leaders were among those who objected to polyandry and labelled it an “unacceptable practice because it is not of African origin”, revealed the document.

“Ironically, stakeholders who believed in the practice of polygamy (polygyny) were opposed to the practice of polyandry,” commented the department.

The public has until the end of June to comment on the department’s proposals.

Home Affairs said it was aware its process was bound to ruffle feathers, but maintained the changes were necessary.

“This is the beginning of a crucial public discourse that will re-define the concept of marriage in South Africa,” it said.

“The process will unearth issues that may make some of us uncomfortable, but will encourage dialogue within the South African and international communities.”

Did Caucasians also institute the eleven official Languages of South Africa? From your write up you still look on everything the whiteman has got to offer as superior.
The white man did come to Nigeria too, sadly he failed to do much of the magic he did to South Africa.

Polyandry can be akin to a padlock that alot of keys can open. Doesnt make sense to me. But a key that can open many padlocks is called a "masterkey". Doesn't the latter make substantial sense??

TMKsouth:


The quest for equality should not be odd, it should be the norm.

BRATISLAVA:


What's your take on this development?

LastProphet:


Okay but the currently accepted polygamy improves science and technology?

JaceBlaze:


You are right,everybody's views and preferences must be considered.

TMKsouth:


I support it 100%. What men get women should also receive. No comprising on equality.

But African men will oppose it coz the system benefits them and they don't wanna give up their privilege. In the same breath they'll be pleading for the elimination of white privilege, for example. Serious hypocrisy.

adabaraabdul:
very true. But I havent seen women involved in for example seeing how they can help in battles at the warfronts like infantry in war fighting from the very front, contesting for NURTW CHAIRMAN, and branch chairmen, hussling enmass at construction sites for odd and very stressful jobs. But when it comes to issues of enjoyment at home and at work the women folks start fighting for equality. Not fair.

BRATISLAVA:


The hypocrisy is astonishing. When they complain about white privilege is most hypocritical. They can allow gay marriage but never polyandry.

Nigerian men need to understand the larger world beyond their customs that give them rights they don't deserve.

South Africa, here I come


Officially having two men is bae !

Who said I can't have it all after all

neyohh:
Africans will continue to focus on culture , intersectionality and genders wars whilst the world advances in tech.

We will be the crusaders of decadence, the same way we adopted foreign religions and defined our existence on it .

We are just empty headed people with no sense of purpose.

Nice analogy

Opak001:
Who will now be responsible for the children and their wellbeing

TMKsouth:


Yeah, nice analogy in the key world, not in real life. Women have brains and rights to self-determination, padlocks don't.

TMKsouth:



Definitely an ally. Men have too many undeserved privileges. U wouldn't understand or admit it coz u are a beneficiary of that privilege.

TMKsouth:


Speak for yourself. Some Africans can walk and chew gum at the same time. This is a matter for the Dept of Home Affairs. There are other departments that deal with technological advancements. You also suffer from the single-mindedness you're accusing others of. (Insert laughing emoji here)

TMKsouth:


According to the article: Nigeria, Kenya, India, China and Amazonians (South America).
