Ms Conco was was forced to resign as the national treasurer and communications officer of She Conquers, a campaign to tackle HIV among young women, gender-based violence and high rates of teen pregnancy. Ms Conco, 24, gave birth to Mr Zuma's child last week, in what staff at a private hospital in the coastal city of Durban described as a "VIP delivery". Mr Zuma, 76, currently has four wives, including one from whom he is separated, and more than 20 children. A fifth wife took her own life in 2000, and a sixth one - who was his preferred presidential successor - divorced him in 2008. “As a campaign, we promote economic empowerment and self-dependency of young women to eliminate the concept of reliance on ‘blessers,’” she added, using a South African word to refer to sugar daddies.
