Its perfectly acceptable in his culture. He doesnt see he has done anything wrong and doesnt know what the fuss is all about.
It is reported that his 33-year-old Zimbabwean mistress Ms Mpofu recently ended her three-year affair with the footballer after he allegedly promised to make her his wife.

The Sun reported that she was comfortable with him being married but decided to call the relationship off because he used me like a mop.
She was pictured earlier this week leaving a Waitrose store in Ponteland, Newcastle, with her and Tiotes son Rafael.
Tiote was spotted a day earlier leaving his home in the same village with his first wife Madah, who is said to have forgiven him for marrying another woman.
Newcastle United was not available for comment.
Tiote received interest from Lokomotiv Moscow during the summer and was thought to be keen on a move to Russia.
He remained on Tyneside after Lokomotiv failed to make an acceptable offer but his contract is set to expire in 2016.
