“It's a subject that I know I've lived, I've seen up close…That
includes watching my father. That includes the relationships that
I saw him have.” Presenter Anne Soy speaks to Gugu Zuma-Ncube and
Thuli Zuma, executive producers of The Polygamist, one of
Netflix’s biggest new dramas which takes on the topic of polygamy
- the practice of having more than one spouse at the same time.
They are also the daughters of former South African president
Jacob Zuma - a proud polygamist who is greatly respected by his
supporters for upholding his cultural and traditional Zulu
beliefs. The Zulu language drama was an instant hit, attracting
two million views in the first week and becoming number four on
Netflix's top 10 list for non-English series globally. Thank you
