The star known as the “Princess of Africa” made the warning as she appeared at the UN headquarters with Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin and UN leader Ban Ki-moon to demand that governments respect gay rights.

Chaka Chaka, who has had a stellar two-decade career starring in shows around the world and with hits such as “I’m Burning Up”, told reporters how her husband, Mandlalele Mhinga, is a prince of the Shangaan tribe.

“My husband is allowed to have three or four wives, but I would not let him. If he wants to go and marry someone else, let him go. He can do that.” 

Chaka Chaka said women had to be allowed to choose if they want to be in a customary marriage and gays and lesbians had to be left to choose their identity.

“You choose where you want to go and that needs to be respected,” she said.

“When I am being forced to be the second wife, that becomes a huge problem.” 

She said her husband could “go wherever he can fly”.

“You know. I will never allow him to have a second wife. And he knows that, that is why he chose me. If he wants to: Goodbye”.

What happened to the culture? The culture allows us to marry as many wives as possible. Yvonne does not have the ability to change culture. This is our culture that has been practiced for decades. Women must not being arrogant now because they have money and educated. Respect is very important if you want to be successful in life.

Well - I can't complain because you are saying that to your yes-man. I can take a third one anytime if I like to. But because I am fine with the two that I have I certainly won't. Yvonne, I guess you are the one who wear pants in the house. Some women are just lucky...
