Johannesburg - Following months of speculation about the whereabouts of one of President Jacob Zuma’s wives, Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma it appears she has been banned from his Nkandla compound following revelations of her suspected involvement in a plot to poison the president.
The Sunday Times has reported that in early August last year, during a trip to the US, doctors diagnosed an ailing Zuma as having been poisoned. However, not trusting US doctors, Zuma went to Russia later that month for treatment. Russian doctors reportedly confirmed the diagnosis.
The newspaper reported that although a direct link between Ntuli-Zuma and the poison plot could not be established, it is understood that the president believes she was involved due to her unhappiness at having been sidelined as a wife following reports of her extramarital affair a few years ago.
