JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — For his wedding to wife number three, President Jacob Zuma, 67, put on his leopard skins, a pair of fresh white sneakers, and with his bare torso jiggling, performed a traditional solo dance for his new woman. Soon he may have to do it all over again — he has another fiancee waiting in the wings. Zuma’s latest wedding has fanned the flames of debate over his polygamy, a contentious topic that became an issue in South Africa during the election last year and will likely persist throughout his term in office.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — “Invictus,” the new film about South Africa’s 1995 Rugby World Cup win, shows how Nelson Mandela strategically used the sports tournament to bridge the country's bitter racial divide. If Americans know little about soccer, they know less about rugby. Still, Hollywood saw the essential human drama at play. Clint Eastwood directs Morgan Freeman as South Africa President Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as rugby captain Francois Pienaar in an adaptation of the book by John Carlin.
