A 35-year-old Cameroonian singer, Mongo Faya, who already lives with 36 wives, married six more, the official Cameroon Tribune newspaper reported today.
He married all six at a civil wedding ceremony on July 11 in the port city of Douala, Cameroon’s economic capital.
Faya’s wives, aged between 20 and 24, live harmoniously under the same roof, the paper added.
The singer, who earlier this month returned from the United States where he recorded his latest album, “Stop Apartheid,” has 28 children ranging in age from 3 months to 9 years.
