So sorry to hear. The fact that she is the daughter of the former South African president might suggest this is somewhat of a politically motivated marriage (by the future groom and father of the bride).

Supposed to believe this is some love match

Daughter of South Africa's ex-President Jacob Zuma to wed Eswatini king 'for love'

Eswatini officials dismiss allegations the marriage is a political arrangement.

Do find it odd if was arranged political alliance Zuma would use one of his natural daughters and not one of his daughters born to his wives. But maybe all the others are married or not willing to play along.

At least she is no stranger to polygamous families

A short bio of the groom:

I am the 30th generation of Constables at my mother’s family home, Burton Constable in East Yorkshire. I studied languages and worked in Rome as a diplomat in a humanitarian organisation; after an MBA at IE Business School focussing on family businesses and entrepreneurial venturing, I ran a practice at a London-based commercialisation consultancy for early-stage businesses, specialising in advanced fuels and circular economy technologies. I “moved home” at the end of 2022 where my mother and I run the estate and holiday park and are Trustees of the Burton Constable Foundation. I enjoy boxing and writing poems (though my enthusiasm for these disciplines outweighs my talents), skiing and shooting, and taking disabled friends on holidays with the Order of Malta.
