The South African government’s proposal to legalize polyandry has led to howls of protest from conservatives. In polyandry, the woman often initiates the relationships and has the power to remove a co-husband if he is found to be engaging in infidelity. Profesor Collis Machoko, a renowned academic on African societies and researcher of polyandry, has mentioned that Africans are “unwilling to accept true equality.” He added that African men do not know what to do with women they cannot control. Musa Mseleku, famous businessman and TV personality, who has four wives, is known for opposing polyandry. He mentioned that polyandry will “destroy African culture.” He continued by adding that the children of polyamorous relationships will have identity crises.
