Isiphakamiso sokwamkelwa kwe-polyandry sifakwe kwiPhepha loGayo-zimvo (uxwebhu lukarhulumente anokuthi nawuphi na umntu onomdla alufunde kwaye apho angenza khona izindululo, ngakumbi phambi kokuba umthetho utshintshwe okanye mtsha) we-Ofisi yoMphathiswa wezaNgaphakathi waseMzantsi Afrika, injongo kukwenza umtshato ubandakanyeke ngakumbi. Olu khetho lolunye kuxwebhu olubanzi, kodwa lubangele ingxoxo emandla eMzantsi Afrika. Isithembu, apho amadoda atshata abafazi abaninzi, sisemthethweni kweli lizwe.

Olu xwebhu luthi umthetho okhoyo ngoku uvumela imitshato yabantwana kwaye awubaboneleli abo batshintsha isini sabo baze bafune ukuhlala betshatile ukuze baqhawule umtshato. Njengenxalenye yeenzame zokuqinisa umgaqo-nkqubo womtshato, isebe libonisana neenkosi zemveli, ngokunjalo amalungelo abantu amatsha ntliziyo namanye amaqela, kwimiba ephambili. Amatshantliziyo alwela amalungelo abantu “athi ukulingana kufuna ukuba i-polyandry yamkelwe ngokusemthethweni njengohlobo lomtshato.” Amagosa afumanisa ukuba abantu banezimvo ezahlukileyo kakhulu ngomtshato, kodwa elinye icebiso kukuphuhlisa inkqubo yomtshato “engathathi cala ngokwesini”. “UMzantsi Afrika ungakuphelisa ukucalulwa kwemitshato ngokobuhlanga, ngokwesondo, inkolo nenkcubeko,” satsho esi siphakamiso. “Oku kuthetha ukuba uMzantsi Afrika ungamkela inkqubo ephindwe kabini yokutshata komntu omnye okanye wesithembu.” Ngenxa yento yokungathathi hlangothi ngokwesini, olu khetho luya kusebenza kubo bobabini abasetyhini kunye namadoda ukuba ibe ngumthetho kwaye ngoko kuvunyelwe i-polyandry. Abadala belizwe bamangaliswe sesi siphakamiso. Umgxeki owaziwayo ngesi siphakamiso nguMusa Mseleku, inkwenkwana yokwenyani enabafazi abane. “Ndilwela ukulingana,” utshilo uMseleku kwividiyo ngoMeyi. Uxoxa ukuba i-polyandry iya kubuza umbuzo wokuba ngutata wabantwana. “Uza kuba ngowawuphi umzi lo mntwana?” Kubuza uMseleku. Wongezelela wathi: “Ngaphezu koko, singabantu bokomoya. "Imimoya yethu, umdali wethu, waqinisekisa ukuba sidalwe ngolo hlobo." “Ayiqhelekanga indlela esicinga ngayo,” utshilo. Yaye ubonisa ukuba “ukukhusela ubukho bethu kubalulekile kwisizukulwana esikhoyo nakwixesha elizayo.”
Umbono wokuba i-polyandry ayiyonyani yaseAfrika ixhaphakile phakathi kweenkokeli zonqulo, ngokutsho kwenkonzo yezangaphakathi. Olu xwebhu luphawula ukuba iingxoxo neenkokeli zemveli zatyhila ukuba zazikholelwa ukuba “ngamadoda kuphela avumelekileyo ukuba abe nabafazi abaninzi.” Olu xwebhu longezelele ngelithi: “Ke ngoko, iinkokeli zemveli zithatha i-polyandry njengesenzo esingamkelekanga kuba asiyomvelaphi yaseAfrika.” Umfundisi uKenneth Mesho oyinkokeli yeAfrican Christian Democratic Party naye usichasile esi siphakamiso. Kudliwanondlebe nomphathi kamabonakude woMzantsi Afrika i-eNCA, uMesho uthe nangona isithembu “isisenzo esamkelekileyo”, ukuba nesithembu asiyonto. “Amadoda anomona kwaye alawulekile,” utshilo uMesho, ecacisa ukuba kutheni imitshato emininzi ingasayi kusebenza.
Ethubeni kolu xwebhu, amagosa athi “nangona abanye abachaphazelekayo bekholelwa kwisithembu, bakho abasichasayo. Oku kusebenza ngokulinganayo kuqheliselo lwe-polyandry. Okumangalisayo kukuba, abachaphazelekayo abakholelwa kwisithembu bachasene nesithembu. Urhulumente woMzantsi Afrika ubonisana nolu xwebhu ngomhla wamashumi amathathu kweyeSilimela, emema izimvo kuzo zonke izindululo.
