January 1964 - One Man, Ten Wives, No Worries - When
January 1964 - One Man, Ten Wives, No Worries - When Phikinkani Twala sits down to Christmas dinner with his family - his WHOLE family - he is surrounded by a sea of faces large enough to form a small army. (Phikinkani has ten wives (he once has 12) andm ore than 100 kids. He has lost count of his grandchildren. Sitting under his favourite tree at his harem-village near Ladysmith in Natal, I listened with fascination as this great hulk of a 71-year-old loverboy warmed to his favourite subject: women.
